  1. Thanks Jim, just part of my job as chapter newsletter editor.. Hope to see you at Watts tent at Macungie.. Do not know the history of the black R model.. Owned by the show host, he was so busy I did not get to visit with him. New to his fleet with Farm Plates on it??
  2. Some more maybe?? We also had about another dozen both antique and custom pickups.
  3. Here are a few overall pictures of the show to back up the Mack pictures I posted in the Mack section:
  4. Some of the Macks at the ATHS Palmetto Upstate Chapter show in Tigerville SC last Saturday:
  5. White Motor combined Diamond T and REO creating the name Diamond REO on May 1, 1967 and ended production at the REO plant in Lansing MI in mid 1975. I am not sure of the exact years but the Osterman Company of Carlisle PA built the Diamond REO Giant from about 1979 to the mid 90's. The word Giant was added after a court discussion with Volvo. The Deutz air cooled was factory installed engine until the late 80,s when it would no longer meet US emissions limits. When Osteman went out of business some of the Osterman people continued in Harrisburg as the T-Line trucks of today.
  6. I never knew Ford made a narrow cab steel hauler.. Must have a roof top escape hatch with the crane unit behind the cab???
  7. The bigger question is>>> Does Volvo even care??????
  8. Add some speakers and audio tape of a big machine gun and maybe the town council will listen to your words of wisdom!!
  9. With racing stripes in my pantyhose!!
  10. A few pictures of older Crispell Bros Brockways
  11. Here is an older picture taken at Dick Crispell's new shop on RT 79 east of Ithaca NY. At the time it was taken the orange 761 had a 12V71 which was later replaced with an 8V92T. This truck now resides in the Ed Edministon collection in Dubbo Queenslaqnd Australia. The blue 1948(?) 154(?) on the trailer still lives in the Cortland NY area, is at the Brockway Show each August, and is still used occasionally to bring home another project.
