Brocky

So now Mack can only dig holes in half the yard??????????

Maybe we should not laugh??? Weirder things have happened with the Dumbocrat party..

Back to museums!!!  The Keystone Museum in Colonial Heights VA should be at the top of everyone's list!!! First exit north of the 85 / 95 split with 18 wheel parking.. Tractors, trucks, toys and a on premises diner.. And a motel with in walking distance.. Plan on spending ALL day!!!! Call ahead and a group could possibly get a back room tour of their shop????

For the drag racer there is the Gartlis Museum in Ocala FL to combine with the ATCA Winter Nationals Bushnell FL in January..

And the Brockway Museum in Cortland is actually 4 museums in one!!!! The Central New York Living History Center.. 

If at all possible,YES!!! Or as close as possible due to parts availability..

Bob, I was thinking the same when Paul posted it.. Only mine was an ESSO station

Happy Birthday!!!! And Thanks for all you do here..

Cliff

Off all my life, I don't think we have lived in a worse condition then we are in now.

 

Larry the only era worse than now was the 1930's depression that our parents lived thru..

Tom (Bub) Warren of Amarillo Texas  had purchased Diamond T rubber and was producing items for other makes as well. BUT I have not heard anything about him since his Father Tom Warren (EX ATHS President) passed away early last year?????? I have his email address and  the shop phone number, if it is still in business?? PM me if you want it..

And that looks like a western grille???????

And it is the 807th R 600 glider kit built???

All of my school career was spent on Brockway buses with a few R model Internationals thrown in.

Paul, Have a happy Aussie day!!!!!  and thanks for the history lesson.. I would have said you folks were independent long before then?? Even pre WW 2????

I know Canada's day is July 1st, but I do NOT know what year???? I was on a pleasure boat in the St. Lawrence river in 1967 when Queen Elizabeth came up the river in her personal yacht (a refurbished mine sweeper??) on her way to Ottawa to celebrate the occasion.

That Group picture was taken at Brad Wike's Southern Classic show in Lincolnton / Maiden NC about the 3rd Saturday of September.. About 100+ trucks. Several TV / movie trucks..

As long as it is part of the topic about Macks, nobody will complain.. Otherwise you can put it down in the Odds and Ends area in the other makes topic area.

And my shiny 290 with the android valve removed on the 335 pump, "with a touch of Dutch", would out run most 350's!!!!  BUT you had to shift by the pyrometer NOT the Tach!!!

Tommy, I am the same with the insulated Carhartt coveralls I had in the truck.. Found my felt lined boots, but not the coveralls???? weird truck unloading at retirement🤔..

But that Busch lite is made by the same Corporation!!!!

I am with Tom, I have seen the bank in Mars Hill ME read -35*, with frost on the screw heads in the bunk!! But the coldest I was out in was top loading a fuel tanker, at frozen river level, in Odgensburg NY at -28* below and God only knows what the wind chill factor was!!!!

In 70 when I worked for the predecessor of Matlack hauling petroleum nights, from Syracuse NY to the St Lawrence River Valley, with tag axle White coupe cab with a 220 and 10 speed, I had to chain up several times to get from the main road into the distributor and back out of his tank farm. Also learned to leave an S curve in the discharge hose so when I was still half loaded I could move the drives out of the ice pockets made by the warm tires!!!!

All I heated with for many years was wood. Kept the whole house plenty warm. No doubt it was a lot of work finding, cutting, splitting, and stacking firewood but I was young then and never minded it, actually I enjoyed doing all that.

When I lived in Penna I was the same.. That Franklin stove heated the whole house..
