These are pictures of a 1948 Mack, model 45 S. I recently bought this truck. At some point a Detroit 4-53 and 8 speed transmission was retrofitted. Overall it is in reasonably good shape. Cab mounts are the biggest issue. I am currently replacing them.

This very truck was in Rome, Georgia and owned at the time by Anthony Fox of Anthony Fox Trucking. I live probably a couple of hours away from there and always wanted to see the "Convoy" truck......but, sadly, I never did. Another truck I still want to see in person is Paul Sagehorn's actual "BJ & The Bear" K-100 Kenworth Aerodyne. But, until that truck makes a visit or gets close to Murphy, North Carolina.....that won't happen, either.
The reasons why I'm so disappointed at not getting to see these two iconic trucks from my childhood is because I've been disabled since birth with mild Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus and I can't travel very far.
Maybe someday, Lord willing, I will get to see (and, hopefully, sit in the driver's seats) of the original "Convoy" Mack and the last surviving truck from the 1979-1981 television show, "BJ & The Bear."
God Bless,
Tony Trout
