  1. Here is a link to the video.. Aussie Macks
  2. Thought that to myself when he stopped for the gate.. Do they have the lights flashing before the gate starts down?? Like we so in the states..so how do you get behind the far gate??
  3. Thanks Vlad.. Great to see the rest of the world
  4. Here is the B**CH at her best http://www.maniacworld.com/flv/Hillary-Clinton-Talks-About-Her-Concussion.mp4
  5. Construction sites, UGH!!!! And I thought grocery store warehouses were bad..
  6. Bubba Randolph of Gaffney SC has one on his Superliner..
  7. Contact Eddy Lucast here :: Eddy.Lucast@remotedata.com He knows the owners of the Western Star COE in the ATHS picture and can tell you the details of whether that is paint or decals.. He can also be reached here:: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/90019/Aluminum-Wheels
  8. Take a look here.. Tom Millard is replacing his flathead Continental with a Cummins in his 154 Brockway.. He has changed the rear first.. If you follow his threads he is very detailed in his work. http://www.brockwaytrucks.org/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4952
  9. I agree with BCR, I am a member of both and newsletter editor for the ATHS Palmetto Upstate chapter. I have also worked closely with Phil Hrynenko in establishing the ATCA Palmetto Classic Iron chapter along the I-95 corridor of SC. The mission statement of each organization is different.. ATHS, the history of the trucking industry. ATCA the history of the trucks. As antique / historical truck enthustists we can learn from both.. KSC: The "tone" of ATHS has improved greatly with the replacement of Johnson!! The new man Don Bretthauer is much more down to earth and willing to work with everybody.
  10. I do it by bringing up both sites at once .. start your reply here the switch to the other site and go to the top address bar, highlight and RIGHT click on it and click copy.. switch back to your reply, position the little blinky line where you want the link to be inserted, again RIGHT click and then click on paste.. Hope this helps
  11. Are you also going to try to draw some construction equipment??? Have you contacted an HCEA chapter for help ???
  12. Learned to love scrapple when I lived/worked in northeast PA.. And like the salt potatoes also being originally from upstate NY.. But I still do not like pinto beans or the many greens served here in the south.. Guess that is why my wife calls me a "Dumb Butt Yankee!!!"
  13. This was in about 1976-77 and my memory ain't that looong!! Basically if I remember right it was one of those North Joisey operations that went bankrupt on Friday afternoon and reopened Monday morning with a new name about every 6 months!!
  14. There was an outfit in Fort Lee NJ that had that set up on a GMC for dumping SeaLand containers of PVC powder into a blower for loading pnuematic trailers.
  15. That Matlack unit was probably out the Albany / Glenmont terminal.. I had just started driving out of Syracuse when that storm hit and remember working on New Years Day as the top guys did not want to..We had the older White 4000's with "Velvet Ride" about the only good thing was it did not hop and would go thru snow..
  16. Welcome to the Board from South Carolina... Look forward to a lot of your pictures... Hope to see you at one of the southeastern shows.
  17. DadGum.. The boss let you get that far from home??? And you found your way Back!! Thanks for the great pictures..
  18. "To each his own" This is why I enjoy truck shows a lot more than a lot of the car shows. NO NIT PICKING JUDGING!! A person can enjoy, and learn from, many of the modificatons. Especially in the safety areas if it is being driven on the road.
  19. I only made a few safety/driveability upgrades to my Diamond T 201 when it was restored. changed to 12 volt, electric fuel pump, although I plumbed it thru the mech one so when you lift the hood it looks original, electric wipers, turn signals, rear bumper and full lights on the rear. I set it up to be able to drive it locally (15-20 mile radius), but it is still a beast.. If I were to build something, especially a big truck, to drive to shows I would upgrade ALL the safety related items and keep the rest as stock as possible.
  20. Joe and Doug I think (???) the first tiltable COE was the 1949-50 White 3000 with an electric screw jack. The LCF Diamond T built by the Murty Bros in 1952-3 used a counterbalanced coil spring to tilt the cab and this method was also copied into the full sized DT 921 COE. I have tilted mine by myself. Do not know who was the first to use a hydraulic jack??
  21. Aussie Paul If you get down north of Melbourne by about an hour and half, you must visit Ian Lee's place for a real hoarder/collector http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=8
  22. Welcome to the DOG house, even if you do not have a Bulldog.. Thanks for keeping us updated..
  23. Tim and Paul Y'all beat me to it!!! I love all of Slim Dusty's work. After listening for a while you can pick up on the Aussie accent and slang and really enjoy him.. Start here and let them go Underdog Do a you tube search for Slim Dusty and they are all there.
