  1. Jim Thought of that, and some plow equipment, But it has a 5th wheel on it??? Hole in bumper, A winch in there???
  2. Looking good.. Thanks for the pictures.. What is with the extended front bumper on the Osborne B-81???
  3. You answered my question in a later picture.. I lived in that Mexico in the early 70's!! And went to school in Oswego..You went to the nuke plant out at 9 mile point east of town.. The college is right next to the steam plant on the west edge of town. Be glad you were up there this time of year.. They tend to get a lot of that white stuff in the winter.. That wreck on the Pike did not look good.. Thanks again for all your pictures
  4. I have to agree on the Richmond VA area.. Although there is no ATHS chapter in the immediate vicinity there are plenty of ATHS members in a larger radius to draw help from.. Some of whom can bring their York PA expertise to the table.
  5. Hydro is probably the cheapest cleanest most dependable power generation there is.. And the dams also help in flood control. I am sure that the kayakers do not need any electricity in their homes to operate anything?? especially if their house is under water!!
  6. Dave Have a safe trip and post us some Salem pictures.
  7. I need to find a room for the 2 of us from Wed afternoon to Sunday morning.. We are of the Super 8, Motel 6, Econolodge price range rather than the fancy hotels.. Will also need one with truck parking, Dodge 3500 with 32 ft encolsed trlr, for Wed and Sat nights. Any Advise is welcomed. Thanks Brocky
  8. The truck museum at Iowa 80 is a fantastic place.. We spent a half a day there in 2013 and am looking forward to visiting it again next year when the ATHS national show is in Des Moines.
  9. Barry I am using Google chrome also. Have not had the problem here, But over on the Just Old Trucks site there are several multipage (50 to 100) topics which will throw me an error message when I click on the most current page. If I click on the topic header to the first page THEN go to the last page in the page listing at the top it will open OK and then I can reply.
  10. This is very interesting.. Did not know about the circumference difference also. This must be why racers pay such a close watch? to balance grip against speed?
  11. I would like to go back to Australia for this event or at least drive the old Hume with a motorhome..
  12. Have you asked your question over on brockwaytrucks.org??? There is a lot of expertise on their especially for an east coast truck..
  13. RPI Has football??? All I knew they had was A$$ kickin' Hockey!!!
  14. Try Here http://www.atrobushing.com/ This is from Tom Millard's topic on converting Continental to Cummins in his 1955 Brockway here http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4952&start=40
  15. It looks like I can see a wrist watch up by her shoulder.. Are you sure she was not indicating that you were #1????
  16. At Syracuse in 2003 someone had a truck with a Shepard diesel in it with a Shepard diesel farm tractor on the back.. My memory is too short to remember exactly what it was without digging out my old Showtime books.
  17. Pawel Thank you much for the pictures.. I always enjoy pictures from all over the world.. Especially the locally taken ones like these versus the tourist/travel publications. Is all of Poland basically flat plains like you have pictured or do you have some hills / mountains also??
  18. KS That is a neat article.. Thanks for posting.. I know that they are Italian styling, But some of them sure do look like they have an English background.. Or as the Aussies would say " A Pommey Truck"
  19. KS Thank You.. That Salmon Chase name did not compute in my memory bank either..
  20. Also consider adding some Dyna Mat.. I think Larry Freightrain here has added it to his and over on the Brockway Trucks site Tom Millard (Oldspwr) has a very detailed photo posting of adding it to his fathers Brockway 361.
  21. Contact Daryl Gushee Heavy Haul in Glouster ME. He has a website. If he does not have a truck in your area he might know someone who does?
  22. Vlad Thanks for taking the time to post these pictures. I am always interested in seeing what other parts of the world have to offer..
  23. Thanks for the pictures!! Glad to see you are back in good health and acting normallly again!! Can I borrow your cleaning lady to do my office???? Wife might not like it tho!! About 10 years ago I loaded a couple of loads of furniture on the south side of Lynchburg going to the Officers Club / Motel in Pensacola FL. It might have taken a little longer and a few pull ups but at least you did NOT put rutts and tire tracks in their lawn, So that makes you a lot better "Wheel Man" than the brand name "Steering Wheel HOLDERS"!!!
  24. Wayne In reference to Paul's comment on ethanol gas. Besides the water seperation problem, that s**t will eat up all the rubber components / gaskets in the lines, fuel pump, and carbs... Here is a link to a listing of stations which sell NON ethanol gas. I use it exclusively in ALL my pre 2000 year vehicles and even new small engines. http://www.pure-gas.org/
  25. Also try Tom Warren Restorations in Amarillo Tex as I believe he can make them also 806-374-3056
