    Almost looks like they took a late 50's Diamond T 921 "China Closet" cabover grille and flattened it out..

    Jim You are right on the Oshkosh.. A Walter had the front axle set back further and a more sloping nose..

    Most of all the kids before 1965 were taught the respect of authority and themselves!!! With today's lack of discipline at the basic family level, I doubt if anybody will uphold this level of success???

    H67 The Bus was parked behind the bathrooms and if I remember the conversation correctly the son of the displayer uses it in his hunting / fishing guide business in either Wyoming or Montana??

    Yes!! The early 50's IH's used the Dodge "Pilot House" cab rather than the IH "Compfovision" cab. I am out of picture posting space here, but if you go to this link and scroll thru the Alice Springs and Archie Baines sections you will see a couple. An L and a S model IH with PH cabs. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?Keywords=Down Under Trip

    Montana is beautiful.. When we went to the Yakima WA ATHS show we ran MT 200 almost all the way across, and after we did Glacier Natl Park on the way home I forget what we ran,, dropped south??

    Jim It is NOT the ability to read, it IS the ability to COMPREHEND what they have read!!!

    It was great to visit with you and the Redhead again this year. I only too about 80 pictures. This one gives you an idea of the size of just one field.

    Jim, Good Question!! That I do not have an answer for.. Eddy Lucast just asked the same question about the Just Old Trucks group picture.. We had it at 10:30 not to conflict with BMT, but apparently several members were on the Mack factory tour.. Several of us are on both sites, so hopefully we can work out something by next year..

    Thanks for the photos.. Was there from Thurs noon to Sat PM.. Walked all my old legs could take and then you show me pictures of trucks I did not see.. Thanks again for all your efforts..

    Your green machine is actually one big A$$ rototiller!!! When the state rebuilt our road they spread about 6 inches of dry cement on top of the asphalt then rototilled it into the existing asphalt with a water truck attached to it.. then a second one followed it doing the same thing.. probably down to about 18 inches, followed by a heavy vibrating roller creating a new base for the roadway.

    I would say Friday even thou a few more trucks come in Sat morning there is also a big exodus that starts about 3 PM on Saturday.. Sorta 6 of one and Half a dozen the other??
  15. Brocky
    I would NOT call that a "Rat Rod"!!!!!! It is a great pick up conversion!!!!

    Tom Thanks!!!!! I just bookmarked it!! Will go back and read when I have time later..

    Probably the governor.. I have "rebuilt" them along side the road by pulling the plunger and cleaning with starting fluid!!! Be sure to take the small air line OFF First.. Ask me how I know!!!

    Let's put it this way, The owner / builder has done a lot of creative engineering and body work to build this truck..Here are the spec boards displayed with it at Alice Springs. In the original I can blow up the print to be able to read them better. I hope the posted pictures you can do the same??
  19. Brocky
    Definitely an Aussie picture!!!!! I recognize the Diamond T behind it.. At the Truckie's Reunion in Alice Springs Northern Territory AU August 2015 At Tony Champion's Mack museum Rockhampton, QLD, AU Sept 2015.
  20. Brocky
    Great pictures as usual, THANKS!!! Was that an L model on the drop deck going around the corner??
  21. Brocky
    Paul, Do NOT quote me but I THINK it is about 50/50 maybe 70/30 in favor of loaner trucks??? Hopefully someone will have a better answer.. Maybe some year you and the Princess can make it up to the Macungie show.
  22. Brocky
    Very Good Doug!!! Will you be open the Friday AM of Macungie weekend??
  23. Brocky
    Harry All of the above plus it is an American thing due to our congested traffic and minor fender benders. Much the same as your "Roo Bars" are an Aussie thing.
  24. Brocky
    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??
  25. Brocky
    Some more maybe?? We also had about another dozen both antique and custom pickups.
