    Joey, Please remember that the ATHS Piedmont chapter Spring show is at the NC Transportation Museum on RT 29 in Spencer this coming Saturday.. I am not going to make it as we had a big show in Waynesville NC last Saturday.

    Vlad, When I worked for Matlack in the 70's we hauled liquid fertilizer in both aluminum and stainless steel one hole, non baffled tank trailers.. Would wash them out after the season was over and use them for other purposes the rest of the year. I do not know if today's modern fertilizers are corrosive enough to require all Stainless trailers??? Or plastic liners??

    Ask Jeff of the WAI section of the Just Old Trucks website about donor trucks.. The one he bought as a donor he has been showing for about 3-4 years and the original is still not restored completely..

    The Name Freightliner opposed to White Frtlnr started in late 1977 with the 1978 model year., due to the removal of the White dealership contract due to White Motor going belly up... I do Not know exactly when the Powerliner came out???

    Good Luck on the CDL test.. I have heard that the hardest part is passing their pre-trip inspection.. Empty that Super 10 will be no problem.. Starting Loaded, especially on an upgrade, you have to drive it like an old Spicer 12 speed.. And that would blow the inspector's mind, TOTALLY!!!

    Here is a short article I wrote about double clutching: On my computer when you click on the link it puts another box in the bottom left corner which you have to click on to open?? Double clutching.doc

    As long as you are empty just play with the main at first, then play with the compound while in 3rd or 4th in the main.. After you get the feel of them then mix them together..

    Bulldog, Try contacting Tony Champion in Rockhampton QLD. He was a large Mack dealer as well as being a BIG Mack collector and might be able to answer your questions.. I do not have an email address for him BUT if you Google Volvo Commercial Vehicles there should be a contact button? Maybe Mrs Mack Paul has the contact info?? Here is a link to some pictures of his facility, scroll to the bottom of the page: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7

    Skippy, Thank you for keeping us posted with your progress, your family is doing great work, especially the fine pictures.. I have been following it from the start.. What I am most impressed with is that your truck is a FAMILY project!! That you have motivated your son to be involved shows us the loving your family has in all of its life. You can be sure that he will value this truck as the "family truck" until he becomes an old man..

    Joey, Glad to hear you are recovering.. Just DO NOT overdo it and have a relapse.. If you are having the same 70 degree sunshine up there that we are having in SC, Just set a lawn chair on the back deck and enjoy it!!! I have to get motivated on some yard work..UGH!!
  21. Brocky
    Joey, Here is wishing you a speedy recovery.. Our prayers are with your whole family.

    Doug Maney, the curator of the Mack Museum has one that he has shown at Magungie several times.. PM me and I can send you his email address. That is his truck in the above picture, You can still see where the Sinclair Oil lettering was.. I have some pictures but am having trouble with Postimage bringing them up and posting..

    Who side swiped who??? Sure am glad I do NOT have to pay for that fuel spill clean up!!!
  24. Brocky
    Skippy, Good!! But try Dave also as he might have pictures of your truck when it was working for the Paper Co and/or more history on it since the Mack museum is still closed.

    Try and contact ATCA member, Mack Man, and Double Clutch author Dave Zsido who lives in Rutland VT (???) He is the expert on Vermont trucking companies. Call Andrea at the ATCA office in Boyertown PA 610-367-2567 and she should be able to give you his contact info.
