Brocky

I was one of those attending the show to see them together.. Also two weeks later 3 of the 5 participated in the South Carolina Special Olympics Convoy.

Lets try this The Mack Plant is in Macungie about a mile from the show with a shuttle bus running continuously all day. The Mack Museum and Customer center is in Allentown only about 10 miles from the show, the America on Wheels museum is about another 3 miles toward downtown. As I said before all your plans will depend on how much time you can allot to the whole vacation trip. Car parking can get tight.. The volunteer Fire Police and the Boy Scouts each have a lot and a few private ones.

Same here..The data plate on my 49 Diamond T 201 reads vehicle weight 3865 and a gross of 8000!! That is 2 tons on single 7.50 x 16 tires, the dual tire axle was an option!! 9 leaf springs on the steering and 13 leaves in the rear..

Vlad Look to me like they are roll off dumpster trucks parked with the tilt hoist up. That looks like a roll of trailer next to them.

Sodley FWD answered most of your questions, But a lot of your planning will depend on the amount of time you have available to spend. This can be a fantastic family vacation. Depending on where you are flying from, you will have to see what direct flights come into ABE (Leigh Intl) or whether you will have to use Philly or Newark to make good connections without plane changes. In addition the Mack museum there is also the America on Wheels (1/2 day) museum, I think partly supported or started by the Mario Andretti family, which has everything from a horse and buggy to recent top dollar super sports cars. Including many Macks: UPS F model and pup trlr w/ seats and video player, R model simulator (that it took my daughter a 1/2 hour to get the grand kids out of), Mack's 1910 Brockway, Cut aways of engine, tranny, and rears, one room as a restoration shop, and other stuff. As well as the Philly Historic area, for the wife 30-45 minutes to Reading PA is one of the first and largest outlet malls in the old Vanity Fair clothing plant. An hour to the north in Scranton is the Steamtown Railroad museum. An hour to the west is the Lancaster county Pennsylvania Dutch Amish area where they still farm and travel with horses, steam railroad, ETC, plan on a whole day to see and do. Another hour to the west is the Gettysburg National Battlefield Park and Eisenhower home and farm, again plan on a minimum of 1/2 day. If you stop and read all the monuments make it 3 days!!! My best Advice is to pull up the PA tourist info site and request their info package, and play on Google!!

Interesting statement!!! We know you just as well as any of the rest of us know each other.. ONLY by what we post here on this website.. Remember we are spread out from Australia to the States to Moscow, and there is a very slim chance that more than a half dozen have met face to face in person. So just keep on digging your grave.. It makes good entertainment!!!

If she ran her mouth at work as much as she does here, she probably needed all her teamster rules and help to stay employed..

Last I knew the original S.S. Kresge store building still stands just off US 209 south of Stroudsburg PA near the village of Kresgeville PA..

It is easier to spell JEVIC!!!!

One hellova photoCHOP job!!

I even have a shower on the back of the house and if anyone sees me using it THEY are trespassing!!!

Thanks for your recent pictures of Cowpens..I have not been by there recently.. Gibson's had looked closed, nothing around, for about the last 5 years and the brush grown up to where you could not see the bone yard. The father Lee passed away about a year ago. This past fall the son and daughter showed up at our show in Dacusville SC and then at Lincolnton NC with 2 trucks. Hopefully they have settled things and are back in business??

Try the "Down Under Outback" this time of year.. We were there in August/Sept, Their Spring, ans it was short sleve shirt time in Alice Springs and we were swimming in the ocean at Cairns.

Jim Ever stop to think that chasing the nurses is what may have put him in the Hospital??? Mike: Get well soon!! You have been in the body shop TOO OFTEN recently..

Bob They are a day and a half ahead of us Down Under. Left LAX airport at 10PM Saturday night, flew for 15 hours in the air, and landed in Sydney AU at 6 AM Monday morning..

Jim Thinking the same

I did not know him other than by "legend", although we may have crossed paths at ATHS 2012 Springfield Mass. Our Prayers and condolences to his family and truck friends

Larry Per Joe D. (chocko): LEAVE THE SPOKES!!!!!!! I am just to old school and the Aluminum Budd's just do NOT look right on older, especially east coast, trucks!!

We enjoyed a lot of VB on our tour last year.. Found some weird named and tasting draft Beers at some of the pubs.. Had one couple from Colorado who tried about everything they could find!!!

Swishy You must have gone to the south coast or Taz to find that much!!

Nuss's dump truck was parked near me at Springfield MO and am thinking(????) the sign said it came out of an iron mine in Minn?? But I might be confused as Nunn is also out of up that way.

The BJ & Bear truck participated in the Special Olympics Convoy in Columbia SC last September.

Interesting?? Concrete blocks on both ends.. Must fill them with a road tanker then drive the equipment up to them??

Russ Nunn owns it but if I remember the sign right Mahan's shop was in on the restoration?? I am Thinking that Jim's Macungie picture may have been in 2015 as both were at York together also.

Brad Glad to hear the info helped.. Hope all works out for you.. Maybe we will meet up at Cortland in August..
