  1. A light bar on the Top of the headache rack will give you additional safety in stop and turn for normal driving as well as some amber to show off in a parade..
  2. Back to the Panther Piss!!!!!!!!
  3. I have been to all those shows over the years..
  4. If they do the strap wrench will be best??
  5. As Vlad said in the above post.. Use a lot of "Panther Piss", your preferred concoction, on them several times before trying to loosen them.. and yes a strap type filter wrench might work???
  6. H67, My prayers and condolences to his family.. I have probably met and visited with him over the years..
  7. Hicrop If you are coming north on I-25 thru New Mexico there are 2 private collections in Cimmeron NM. One guys name is Norm Pick and the other is Miller.
  8. Matt and Joe,, Yes Doug Fetterly was the name I could not come up with!!!!!! Matt, if you have his number, both NY and FLA, send it to Hicrop and maybe Doug has what he needs?????
  9. HELP!!!!! I am having a senior moment!!!! Who is the Mack man in Harrisville NY that pulls a 5th wheel camper with both an integral sleeper B model and a MH cab over. I can picture both him and his trucks , BUT can not put the name in the middle!!!!! Del something????? Who used to make the aluminum reproduction battery boxes??????????? Maybe he has the lid you are looking for????
  10. In 2019 we made a similar loop when we went to the ATHS show in Reno.. A word word of warning.. If you plan on doing the Hoover Dam and generating system think "Airport Security" to get inside the visitor center and generators... Had my pocket knife and was not allowed in!!
  11. Robo Another source of information is the American Truck Historical Society, Wyoming Cowboy Chapter, Scott Campbell, 307-856-2780
  12. Mech, I will have to look for some pictures of Dan's Value Liner.. I saw it at both Lexington KY and Reno..
  13. That is an Aussie picture!!
  14. If Dan Thomas(???) of Medley ORE brings his Aussie Value Line to York PA next year take a good look at it... Mech your explanation goes along with Paul's statement about stability on Aussie road trains..
  15. Where in Wyoming did you get that answer from??? In most all states the individual DMV offices do NOT know what they are talking about with Antique / Historical Plates!!!! AND you will get a different answer from every person you talk to!! Do not be bashful,, Contact a Diesel Cop, In whatever form Wyoming lists them.. They SHOULD have computer access to what the law actually reads!!! There is also the Antique Truck Club of America, Wyoming Rocky Mountain Chapter, contact James Dixon, PO BOX 636, Newcastle WY 82701, phone 207-746-2788, email: jdixon@dixonbrosinc.com, who can point you in the right direction for good info..
  16. DCW,, Probably a topic in the antique section would find more visitors????
  17. It is NOT just the west coast, same down here, Like they forgot how to cook when they crossed the Mason Dixon line!!!! YES!! A good Italian HOT sausage on a piece of Italian loaf bread... With onions and peppers!!! But my Georgia raised 2nd wife is till trying to get me to eat Pinto beans and Cornbread...
  18. Mech is right.. Uphill with no weight on the drive axle... Will have to build a place to turn around at the bottom.. Also it WILL Be a lot SAFER pulling out onto the road!!!!
  19. Mech, NO I did not!!! Hope to be there next year..
  20. Up here in the States the only one I have seen is on the Valueliner that the Mack man in Oregon imported from Australia.. His is larger and has a ball bearing race in it as well as a locking pin.. I forget the exact reason for it now other than it was used when pulling road trains on dirt/gravel roads.
  21. I have found the best way to get individual pictures is to stake out a place on the parade route and get then as they come by.. In the display area they are usually too close together and a lot of spectators..
  22. Bob, Also keep your eye out for Tom Millard "Olsdpwr" who is the man who started to Brockway sub section of "Other Truck Makes" Both his tractors are red and white immaculate show pieces..
  23. Paul, When we were down in 2015 Archie Baines in Victoria had a just post war Model 88 Chassis, cowl, and front clip in his boneyard..
