  1. Thanks for the pictures.. Finally put some faces with the names.. I will be looking for the trucks and wimmin later.
  2. I know the feeling well!!!!!!! My big fight is my sugar..
  3. Happy Birthday.. I know they sure are not as welcome now..
  4. Paul, Thank You.. I had never heard that part of his PT-109 career and will have to do some more research..
  5. Check out the storage trailer rental / sales places.. I got some when the Dayton wheel trailers were taken out of service and placed into storage use.
  6. Is your helper wearing OSHA approved safety shoes????
  7. I also store them on my computer, then use postimage.com to transfer them to BMT.
  8. Tom, You are retired now!!!!! You have time to go to BOTH!!!!!
  9. There should be a serial number plate on the right 1/3 of the dash.. The first letter will identify the engine, the next 3 digits is the model number, the next 2 letters identifies purpose and drive axles, then the 5 digit serial number.. Email me thru here and I can send you Tom Millard's (Oldspwr) email address.
  10. Being in the bunk you can go for inside operated locks of some sort..
  11. DCW. THANK YOU!!!! That is the first confirmation I have had!! I will be getting out a newsletter supplement out in early August to remind everybody of Dacusville and will post the correct date in it..
  12. And I will bet he is as proud as a peacock for helping Grandpa!!!
  13. A close up of that data plate would probably answer a lot of questions?
  14. DCW, As of a July 7th email from Chad Johnson, from Mooresville, Brad Wike is thinking about moving it back a week as Autofair is in town on the 10th w/e and they are paying Brad big money to bring his Bandit and Duel trucks. Have not heard anything since. Please send me your email address.
  15. Crown Coach company, I believe, was based in California.. And the tandem was part of the screwy weight laws in the land of Fruits and Nuts!!!!
  16. When jumping a totally dead battery the battery will absorb mot of the juice coming to it and therefore you have limited energy going to the rest of the vehicle.. Try unhooking the battery cables and jump directly to them???
  17. Excellent thought on keeping it!!! Leave it as a drill truck for show, or replace it with a roll back for hobby use???
  18. Yes it looks like a 361.. Send the whole serial number to Tom Millard (Oldspwr) and he can tell you more about it.. The Mack Museum used to have all the build sheets on Brockways..
  19. WOW!!! What a barn full!!!! That Diamond T 201 looks in good shape All the stainless is there.. There were only 7000 built from mid 1938 to end of 1949.. Should bring big $$$$!! Tommy, if you can get me the serial number, on data plate on right side of cowl under the hood, I can narrow down the year.

    I am planning on being at Colfax with my Diamond T this year as they are hosting the White Bash..
  21. You must answer to yourself: What are your going to put on the tray?? And what are you going to pull with the trailer hitch??? And At the same time??? Then figure out your turning clearance of the towed vehicle.. And build from there..
  22. My first car at age 14 was a 1951 Olds 2 door hardtop. Paid $35 for it and beat the $h!!t out of it in the cow pasture until the Hyramatic quit!! Sold the engine to a man for a stock car and junked the rest..
  23. Welcome to the forum.. Please keep us updated on your progress with these trucks..

    Bob, For shoes, check with the city/county/state police to see where they get theirs.. We have a store here in the Greenville SC area which specializes it construction work wear and they stock a lot of apparel for the police and EMT people. A few years ago I bought a pair of police issue permanent shine black oxfords from them. And I wear a size 14D so not easy to find!!
