    I continue to be a member of ATHS mainly because I am the chapter newsletter editor/Jack of all Trades and my wife is the secty/tres, and YES I have to do her work also!! Every January the chapter has to send a financial report to KCHQ which includes a roster of chapter members. Yes, I keep Larry's dual logbooks, only I got it labeled as "Donating Friends"!!!

    Joey, Both ATHS (15000 worldwide members) and ATCA (5000 predominately northeast Mack members) are open to all.. Personally I feel ATHS is "money hungry", their dues keep going up every few years.. ATCA has stayed at $36 for as long as I can remember!! I have been a member of both since 2002. Both issue a bimonthly magazine, but ATHS also includes their "Showtime" book which is an individual picture of every truck attending their National show. I also like the ATCA magazine, Double Clutch, better as it has better/more articles about historical vehicles and events/actions. Also more coverage of local shows.

    Hagerty also has a deal with the American Truck Historical Society where ATHS members get a discount.

    Some of the people at the South Carolina DMV tried to tell us the same about a weight limit. Between a friendly officer in the Diesel Cops and an ATHS member who works at the Main DMV HQ it was quickly straightened out. There are still a few local DMV offices who like to give a hard time, BUT we now know which ones to go to with NO problems. Mechohaulic, Matt, with the B-73 rollback, and Matt Phfail should be able to help you find a cooperative office.

    Geoff, NO I do not!! There were a lot of them around, our school busses had the black diamond 450's in them. In about 57-58 (when I was 12-13) one of the local dump truck operators had a fleet of tandem drive GMC's with the biggest V-6 in them. One local sand and gravel / redi-mix outfits had a fleet of 59-60 F-1000 Fords with the 534's.

    Paul, Up here in the States the 549 IH and 534 Ford would run with a 220 Cummins, until it got to a petrol station, then they had to stop and fill up again!!!!

    Tom, I DO NOT think they are exported to the States????

    I believe that the students driving busses was a southern thing??? The late Leroy Gurganus of Jasper AL told me about his experiences driving the bus as a high school senior. The only time my parents (and others) drove us to school was when we had been kicked off the bus and had to present ourselves to the principal for disciplinary action.

    I drove a 2001 9600 with series 60 Detroit and RR 10 speed for 5 years and liked that truck.

    In the late 60's I worked for a township highway department in Oswego County in the "Lake Effect Snowbelt" of New York State. We plowed 6 inched to a foot of new snow off the roads, sanded them, and the school buses ran on time!!!

    Brake Light switch??? Some older trucks are wired that the brake lights do NOT come on with the hand valve..

    On our "Down Under" trip what really surprised me was the Beer sales booth on the Truckie's reunion show grounds.. Of course I had to sample some VB during the afternoon!!!

    Down here in the Carolina's they do NOT need that much!! All the evening weather report has to say is "There MIGHT be a flurry" and they close!!!
  15. Brocky
    Interesting display!!! Is the yellow one 4X4?? If so, it needs a V and 2 wings...
  16. Brocky
    I have a London Broil in the freezer for Christmas or whenever.. I am going to try some of the prime rib rub on it???

    I am with Joey!!! I put horseradish on most of my beef that I like done between Medium and medium well.. Sorry Paul, but well done / sacrificed makes beef too tough.

    Paul, Unless your schedule is set in stone, you should detour your trip home to come by way of Bushnell FLA ( closest airport Orlando or Tampa) on the 23rd & 24th, 2026.. This is the ATCA Winter National show.. Better known as the Snowbird Macungie..

    From my desk top, I had to use the free Postimage.com to post pictures before I sent Barry the $75 to be a member.. Since then no problems.. From a phone I have no idea as all I have is an old flip phone!!
  20. Brocky
    Get a bigger chisel/punch and a bigger hammer!!!!!!!
  21. Brocky
    I thought you loved winter????? So far all ours has stayed north of I-85, in the Asheville area..
  22. Brocky
    Same here!!! Although the cable pull was on the floor between the seats.. Same with the tanker pumps.

    Dean, Thank You for updating my mind on how these new air controls work. It has been many years (40??) since I pulled a Dump trailer.
  24. Brocky
    Dean, I recognized the big yellow lever as a PTO engagement shifter, so the hoist control is the the small post on the corner with the small yellow button in the center???? Just push it raise the body and let go and the body comes down??? This wet line set p will be good with your Landoll trailer..

    A B-67 barely has room for a driver, let alone a passenger!!! Especially a "No Passengers" fleet truck. So it may be factory??
