  1. I can remember the Astro's, Diamond REO's and F Models.. There is an UPS F model in the America on Wheels museum in Allentown PA, hooked to a single axle pup trailer which has a video screen up on the deck and seating by the wheel boxes.
  2. I agree with Larry.. Your picture of Sept 13 shows a lot of GOOP around the springs, is there more elsewhere???? I would get this stuck one loose and get the lube changed and let it run for a while before parking it for the winter.. A long inactive period might just set things up worse??????????????
  3. Tom, Thanks for all the great work posting these pictures. I must try to get back up there again. but it seems there is always a show down here that weekend. All of my pictures are on my desk top computer.. I make a copy and light enhance and crop the ones I use in the chapter newsletter.. I have never learned how to resize????
  4. As long as you only get a small amount of oil each time you drain you are fine.. If you continually get a large amount, a cup or so, then you have to start thinking about rebuilding / replacing the compressor as the rings have lost their tension and are pumping motor oil into the air system.
  5. That 3 point hitch looks farmer installed off an 8N Ford??? I am thinking(???) that Jeep had a factory 3 point hitch on the CJ2 and/or 3?????
  6. That many years and you still have not learned to tuck your shirt tail in???????? My grand mother would stripe yo legs!!!
  7. Still at it!! Got 3 this time!!
  8. Couple more!!
  9. Apparently it only wants two at a time!!
  10. Hopefully some more
  11. Here are some pictures from the show.. https://i.postimg.cc/ZYvwhhfG/Lincolnton-2022-007.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/K4S1LTBy/Lincolnton-2022-008.jpg Post image is playing games with me!!! Click on the link and they may come up??
  12. DCW, Sorry I missed you.. You should have just joined in on the conversation!!!
  13. Matt, Thank you very much for this info and your service to our country!!! I have some friends with A&P licenses and it always shows up in their work, whatever they are doing. One in particular is Jeff Lakaszcyck over on the Just Old Trucks website. He spent over 30 years with NASA at Cape Canaveral. The military Mack at Macungie in 2021 is his, as well as the 1942 Federal C-2 Retriever, with the aircraft style inertia starter shown at the ATCA Winter national in Leesburg FL. The video of it starting the truck is on You Tube.
  14. That looks to be in good shape.. An easy refurbishment.. Are you going to be able to keep the original patina??
  15. Tom (Oldspwr) actually did 2 Brockways and then repowered the first one from flathead Continental to 5.9 Cummins, which included rebuilding the rear to change the ratio. Now he is working on a Chevy pickup for his brother. His documentation was fantastic, but now that the Brockway website is apparently gone I hope that the information is saved somewhere???
  16. I do Not know???? Our tent collapsed in the rain at Dacusville, Brad bought a new one, BUT he has to work tonight and not sure if he will make it.. I have the tables and chairs in the DT with some ATHS & ATCA Hand out material which I will probably set up.. Our Chapter will be in the same area as last year.

    I am also another Yanky!! But from the Syracuse upstate area where we still pronounce it New York..😀
  18. Yes I will be there about 9:oo AM with the DT.. Our Chapter will have a few trucks there this afternoon, the about 3 more tomorrow morning. They are planning on parking at the top against the woods.. DCW, you will probably have to introduce yourself again as I am lousy about putting names with faces!! JoJo I also plan on being in Colfax..
  19. Especially 4 trucks from the same company in their original work cloths.. Reminds me of the PRIDE these fleets had in their equipment!!!

    Joey, Our prayers are with you for a fast recovery.. I always use diesel fuel and a couple of dirty shop rags..
  21. Michael, I still like yours better in the original livery..
  22. Dean, Here is a link to the Erv Bickford Collection. The City of Yarmouth put the pavillion park display together in his memory after Erv passed away. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/99086/The-Erv-Bickford-Collection?PageIndex=1
  23. Were you able to hit any of the museums???? Like Cole's in Bangor and/or Erv Bickford's in Yarmouth???
