  2. And I will bet he is as proud as a peacock for helping Grandpa!!!
  3. A close up of that data plate would probably answer a lot of questions?
  4. 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.
  5. 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!!!!
  6. 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???
  7. Excellent thought on keeping it!!! Leave it as a drill truck for show, or replace it with a roll back for hobby use???
  8. 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..
  9. 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..
  11. 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..
  12. 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..
  13. 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!!
  15. Harry I think (??) that this is the truck you are asking about??
  16. Bob, You are right about the 1965 date.. That is when the child psychologists said that parents were to "Talk" to their children not "whup their butts".. Now we are into several generations of this and these people have no respect for authority period.
  17. Agree it is the second after the 59 & 60 F1000's
  18. Glad to hear he is still interested in the Antique Truck Hobby!!!! What is he doing now??? Did you tell him he is missed on Big Mack Trucks and give him Hell for not checking in???
  19. TJC When you hover your mouse over the picture before you click to enlarge the number shows up in the lower left corner.
  20. I know the man who owns the long legged Green Diamond REO and just sent him an email with a link to your pictures.
  21. Tom Thanks much for all the pictures.. I appreciate your efforts as I know it takes a lot of time to build an album like that!!
  22. Your picture of trucks arriving Saturday morning does not surprise me.. Last year about 150 trucks arrived on Sat AM!! That is when they filled the field behind to restroom building.
  23. I am sorry that I felt I could not afford the fuel to go up this year!! I have missed visiting with ya'll.. Have you heard what the total truck count was???
  24. Is Doug Fetterley, upstate NY, still making the SS/Chrome ones??
