  1. In the interior pictures, Is that gray thing sticking out of the dash beside the steering column, a controller for electric trailer brakes???
  2. Great!! Never heard that one before???
  3. Better when he and Hunter are in JAIL!!!!!!
  4. We have "Coy-Dogs" here in South Carolina?? Guess the coyotes will cross breed with larger dogs??? The man who rents my pasture land hunts them regularly, especially if he has some new calves coming!!
  5. TJC: I have not been up to Macungie for the last 2 years, BUT they have had it displayed there for 3-5 years previous..
  6. Mech.. I would guess he might need the total length to get it on a trailer to bring home?????
  7. TJC, I think I know the truck you are speaking of.. It is called "UGLY" and has a Jersey personalized plate that says UGLY. Painted all white.. just went thru my Macungie pictures and it apparently was not ugly enough for me to take a picture!!!
  8. In reference to the above posts, You must remember that the two primary qualifications to become a politician at any level from local to national is to be::::1 A LIAR and 2 A THIEF!!!!!!!!!!

    OK!!!! The word residential answers my question of single drive with a lazy lift axle,,
  10. I like the idea of a calendar!!! An all MACK calendar!!! Maybe Barry can contact Richard Hain of the Green Magazine.. Apparently about every 50 years or so the dates on the old calendar match the upcoming year. They produce a calendar each year with pictures of John Deere tractors from the old year that the dates match the new year.. email: info@greenmagazine.com
  11. Mark is correct.. Since the model number ends in 1 T and not 2 T's I am assuming it was originally a single axle, now with an air ride tag axle (lazy axle in Aussie). The mid 60's Coupe cab White 4000's with a tag axle I drove in the early 70's, the steering axles were so worn out that when running empty you had to add a little air to the Tag axle to keep the front from wobbling a lot!!!! Also Bobtailing a little air in the tag helps with braking..
  12. Paul Thanks for the video.. If you go back to your warped picture in the "Toughest Truck" topic that I guessed as a 257 this video sorta confirms it.
  13. It is different from most of the oilfield trucks I have seen.. Unusual to see the 5th wheel right side up. The majority of the oilfield winch trucks I have seen had just the pin and the 5th wheel was mounted upside down on the float.. No gin poles???? What is the crosswise pipe ahead of the 5th wheel for??? Would not mind having it in my barn, BUT my checkbook is not that BIG!!!
  14. LYK: I do NOT think(???) That the Canadian / Aussie B doubles are allowed in the States???? Just the A hitch for double / triple Pups and full length "Turnpike" Doubles.
  15. Looks Good!!! Genuine "Yankee Ingenuity" this far south of the Mason Dixon Line!!!!!
  16. Great work Tommy::: Thanks for taking the time to build the album..
  17. Bob The ATCA Macungie dates are always the Friday and Saturday of Fathers Day Weekend in June.. Check out a 2024 calendar..
  18. I am the same way!! From here to the Bushnell FL show I run 221, 1, and 301... From here to Alaska we only ran the interstates when the old US Highways got on and off for a ways..
  19. I visited the late Ian Lee's home shop, as well as meeting him at Tony Champion's open house, in August of 2015. All the Aussies I met on that trip seemed to be square shooters.. Since you are located in Canada some of the old British Commonwealth tariffs and shipping may apply?????? Have you contacted Tony Champion looking for parts????
  20. I will be looking forward to seeing them.. You and Zina have a safe trip back home..
  21. Being from the land of Fruits and Nuts almost anything is bound to be absurd!!!
  22. The sausage with peppers and onions looks good!!!! $8 for a cheese burger??? They must be the same a Charlotte: Charge race day prices for ALL events!!!!!!
  23. Have a safe quiet Turkey Day..
  24. Paul: Contact Ed Edminston in Dubbo NSW. He imported a 1976 model 761 with 8V92 in it from the states.. He also attended the Brockway Weekend in Cortland NY several years.. He can probably give you a good history of Brockways in Australia???
