FWD My son in law in Doylestoen, an IT engineer, has a 12 volt back up on his sump pumps and a charger wired up from the garage so he can charge the batterys up from his car if necessary. A lot of the rush at the stores is that city people today do not have a pantry full of canned goods stocked up for any emergency. Brocky

Red Horse We had city busses at Syracuse in 2003. Maybe that is why they are gone, but I would sooner say it is because of the "high roller" ATHS management rather than the regular exihibitors. The detailed figures will NEVER be published in WOT. Johnson might get his fingers pinched when the lid dropps on the cookie jar!! Even if an ATHS member does not live close enough to a chapter to participate, He is always encouraged to contact his, or a friendly, RVP and ask questions and / or make suggestions.My email addy is futher up in this topic and I can advise any of you of a couple of friendly RVPs. Brocky

I cannot help you on the Mack interior green, BUT The Brockway interior green is an almost exact match for the Detroit Alpine Green and that is what most of the restorers that I know use. Brocky

Red Horse The purpose of the shuttle busses is to move the exibitors and staff from the show ground to various motels. Appearantly the staff requires that these be of the fancy "charter coach" quality rather than "city style" commuter buses?? As you say it is easy to be a Monday AM QB, But again it is hard when you do not have a futher individual breakdown of some of these expense areas, which I doubt will ever see the light of day. As ATHS members we have the opportunity to ask our RVP's to question these areas in hopes the rank and file can offer some expense saving suggestions. Brocky

Vlad Your grammer is very good.. Especially if you are typing in English rather than using one of the translater programs. Brocky

Jim I do not think I have PM working on this site. Please send me an email at brocky45@prtcnet.com and I will forward you the figures I recieved from a friendly ATHS RVP Brocky

It would depend on the year of purchase if they were Diamond T's, REO's, or Diamond REO's as the name Diamond REO was created on May 1, 1967. I can remember some of them running between Indiamapolis and Columbus Ohio. Brocky

Red Horse and Jim Part of the hotel expenses is that when ATHS contracts with the "host hotel" they pay for a block of rooms. If these are not all taken by exhibitors ATHS has to pay for them. and a lot of us with small checkbooks go to Super 8, Econolodge, Budget Host, ETC,ETC. Also this year the meetings were at the Big E instead of renting meeting rooms at the hotel. Total expense listed as $16,735 Here are some interesting figures: Show site rental $59,220 and no income from parking so that $5/car must have also gone to Big E. Staff expenses were double of any other show at $32,492. Shuttle busses $32,140 the highest of the last 9 years. On the income side the gate fee (spectators?) was $49,410, sponsors $17,000 which was down a lot from most years except Auburn and Baltimore, Convention registration ($25 from exibitors?) $43,800, Truck registration ($15 per truck?) $16,140. They made some money on the tours, golf carts, convention dinners, and a few smaller misc items. As Mr. Hancock states, It would be interesting to see all the figures. Brocky

Red Horse I have a breakdown of the major areas for the last 9 years. 5 they made money and 4 they lost money. This year was not as bad as Pleasanton Calif or Baltimore MD. What would be really interesting would be to see a line by line acounting as to where some of these expenses moneies go, Brocky

Mike Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Hopefully yours will heal up OK. Most 2 yreas ago I fell and ended up with what they called a "Torn Rotator Cuff". Had to have surgery and it took a whole year before it was some where back to normal, and still do not have total use of it. My prayers are with you. Brocky

The blue F model belongs to a close friend of mine. That is his son driving it. It was originally a Dukes Mayonnaise fleet truck from Greenville SC. Brocky

Mike Superdog REF: EQ Mack You are right about the wheels. The whole thing is on a 1 ton Chevy Chassis. Brocky

Here are a few of the Macks at the Western North Carolina Chapter show in Cherokee NC last weekend

If you Make your move on at Saturday afternoon evening and those scales should(??) be closed up. Brocky

That Mack probably weighs about 12,000 lbs (???) so that intl would be about at its limit. check the data tag and tire ratings for allowable weights, then total your weights up. You might have to load it facing backwards to keep the weight down on the steering axle?? As an old outlaw I would load it up. dodge the scales, give myself extra stopping space, and bring her home.

An outfit in North Jersey used to have something similiar to dump bulk plastic pellets out of container trailers into a blower which blew them into pnuematic bulk trailers. Probably were also used for dumping wood chips and similiar materials before the live floors and big hydraulic platforms were developed. Brocky

Tom Please go to the ATHS site (aths.org) they currently have a topic going about titles and gives you the name and address of a company in Maine who can register it in Maine, where the registration is proof of ownership on older vehicles, then sell it back to you with the proper paperwork for Wisc to issue you at title.
