Popular Post The Rubber Duck 006 Posted April 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2023 This year I will be Entering The Green Hornet in the Annual Memorial Day Parade in Lafayette, Ohio. This will be the first time I will hopefully be Adding a Name Plate on the front of the Truck in Memory of my Grandparents. It will say The Green Hornet in yellow and have a picture of my Grandfather with his Brockway at one end and my grandmother with the truck at the other. I know this may come across as Selfish but if anyone on here can perhaps Come and Show us Support I would like to extend the invitation. It would mean alot to me. Maybe make signs to hold up etc then maybe meet up afterwards. My Grandfather also Served in The United States Marines during the Korean War and was in Korea for 2 tours. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72715-memorial-day-parade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rubber Duck 006 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Just an Update I will not be driving The Green Hornet in the Parade this year 😢 😞 . She's going to be down for awhile. But when I do git her back She will have a new radiator, Air Compressor, All 13 gears in the transmission, and a New drivers seat!!!. I'm hoping I can talk them into putting 10 led Chicken lights on her as well 🙏 😋.

Joey Mack Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 For what it's worth... Iv'e seen you post your wishes a few times.. Get dialed in, and buy a truck.. You need one.. I suggest a W-900L or a 379... Just my opinion.. I love Mack's, but to find a CH/CX-613 with a 460/13 spd. and Eaton 390's or smaller, may be hard to find.. Hell,, I don't know... just ramblin'.. jojo 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72715-memorial-day-parade/#findComment-531836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I used to be in a local July 4 th parade years back. Had about 5 trucks from local chapter get in it. The g/f always loved doing it and wishes we could do them again. It was always tough as we'd get home from my race at like 2am, sleep for 3 hrs and get up and get to the staging for the parade. She likes throwing candy to the kids and waving to everyone. I'd run the air compressor ragged with the constant horn blowing. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Mean Green Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Parades are the best we took the b model a few years ago in the Kecksburg pa VFD ufo festival we had fun throwing candy and had some green aliens and a saucer on the fifth wheel it’s on u tube . Rubber Duck it’s great they you treat a company truck like your own makes the owner happy and they seem more willing to add some extras on it cause they know you appreciate it .

The Rubber Duck 006 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 I stop by the shop to see the progress on The Green Hornet. Mechani. Had the Rubber flooring and both seats out. He scrubbed down the metal underneath. He's gittin ready to drop the transmission tomorrow. The new radiator is in. The new DPF can should be in any day now. Also he said after She's back together and gits a bath he's going to polish all the Chrome for me and make it look like a true Show work truck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72715-memorial-day-parade/#findComment-531951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rubber Duck 006 Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Well The truck is all ready to Celebrate Memorial day. The red white and blue will fit in well . The true reason i do the parade is ive had may family Members serve in our Military and Without their sacrifice and the fellow soldiers that served with them and after We wouldn’t be able to have our freedom. Yes this Currently administration may be dumb but when you git down to the brass tacks America is STILL the Greatest Nation on Earth. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72715-memorial-day-parade/#findComment-532042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
