b61fred Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi, Went on our first family truck related outing of the year, My 6 month old boy Joe was tring to do split shifting. I caught him in the act. Also he had a gearshift taste test, He is cutting his teeth and I guess that gearshift looked good!Morgan Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

mackdaddy1911a1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That is one hungery kid. Don't let him get ahold of the bulldog..LoL. He is a very handsome young man and a future Bulldog driver if there ever was one.MattP.S. I noticed in your gallery the black Bmodel with the lowboy trailer had a casket on it. I'll assume that it was being used at a funeral of a friend. I was a gravedigger for a few years and that caught my attention. Just curious..matt Quote THE GREATEST NAME IN TRUCKS MACK TRUCKS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9194-so-been-shifting-two-sticks-long/#findComment-34446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over at my frends house one day, his dad was working on his will. We was joking around about how we would like to "go out", you know the usual "don't put me in a suit, I never wore one before" and the like. He said he didn't want to be hauled in a hearse, he wanted to be hauled by the old mack. We all laughed and didn't think much more about it, He past about a year or so later, and He had put it in his will thats what he wanted. So we worked on the truck day and night for 2 days, got it ready and that is the result..Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

I know you're proud of him. Maybe we can see him at a show sometime.mike He sure dose like to hang out in the shop too, He wants to be right there in the middle of the action! I got some mor pictures of him in his baby seat right up on the fender while I was installing the 237 in this winter. He loves riding on the John Deere's too. Most kids are afraid of the old G, It sure is loud, don't bother him a bit.. I hope to be at Macungie and maybe Lititz PA this year. I thought about Huntsville Al. show but I found out that the show is in an old airport, and there are no trees at all. not a good place to take a baby for 3 days in the summer. If you go to Huntsville make sure to bring a tent or shade of some sort. Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

Mike Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I doubt that I stay for the whole day unless Rob, Tom, FreightTrain, Fred, Herb, and or James will be there. Maybee Bobby can come down from Ole Ky. if not then I won't need any suntan lotion, just a bottle of coolant. Although I like all Macks, the B-Model is and has been my favorite. Maybe I can look at a few of them clean trucks up close and see where the engine and transmission is at since mine has more grease on the outside of the engine than on the inside......LOL.....LOL.Latermike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9194-so-been-shifting-two-sticks-long/#findComment-34576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61fred Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Fred,How did ROB do with the Video?mike Haven't heard or seen "HIS LARGENESS" for a while. I suppose he is busy with other projects and the like. I think I can find a alternate camera man though. I do have a acurrate and recent photo of Rob when he came over last summer for my hog roast and lake side bash..Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!

Mike Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Fred,He looks like the kind of person that can enjoy himself no matter where he's at. But poor guy looks like he's about to run out of food cause tha plate looks empty. maybe the Good Ship Fat Guy is full of goodies. Would you say that ship runs on self propelled natural gas........LOL......since it has no motor or sails.....could use some planes on her to lower the bow.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9194-so-been-shifting-two-sticks-long/#findComment-34651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope if I go out some one will do the same for me. Has to be a Bulldog Mack and everyone I know will testafy to that. Either that or an old John Deere like the old "A" we used to have.Matt Quote THE GREATEST NAME IN TRUCKS MACK TRUCKS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9194-so-been-shifting-two-sticks-long/#findComment-34713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLStroope Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hey b61fred, Fine looking Dog driver you have there. I'll bet he can't wait to get a little grease on his hands. I went past the scrap yard a while ago and it has been completely cleaned out. I guess that B77 has gone to Mack heaven.Rich Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9194-so-been-shifting-two-sticks-long/#findComment-34849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the B Series I really wanted but a project just the same. Currently it sits in the garage waiting for funding to get better before I really tear into it.

b61fred Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 If Rob is gonna be there, just find him and stay in his shadow all day for shade.well as his diet has suggested that he has went on a atkins style diet consisting of most protein ( I must say of unusal sources). The aroma of the the road kill suprise that he usally packs with him for his snacks doesn't agree with the little guy. Rob tells me that those booths and little carnival trailers that sell food at those events are questionable. As he put it" who knows where that stuff has been, and the sanitary conditions are also in question". Fred Quote 15 gears...no waiting!
