Plan on going to OZ in late August of 2020.. That is when the Australian Truckie's Hall of Fame Reunion takes place in Alice Springs.. In May(+/-) is the Hauling of the Hume(Youtube It) which if i could not be there for I would like to rent a motorhome and travel it..

Here is a link to the 9 page report of our trip to Alice in 2015:: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?Keywords=Down Under Trip 

I realize it is only a fiction novel but the press is acting exactly how Tom Clancy described it in Executive Orders with their not accepting Ryan as he was not a Washington Insider..

Trump has a lot to learn about handling the press, But let's all of US give him a little while to learn.

That interior looks factory new!!! Somebody has taken GOOD care if it. 

Agree with Jim, It will look good in your shop!!!

Are those rear tires a Russian / European version of our Super Singles???

Enjoy Trump while you can... The protest marches today had far bigger crowds than the inauguration in Washington alone.

Not Really.. It was just that the SORE LOSER Liberal Press showed more of them on the TV!!!

There is a town up in the hard coal region of northeast Pennsylvaia (Think it is Centralia???) that has had a fire in the mine under town burning for the last 30+ YEARS.. FWD or Quadbox can maybe add some more details?

Great Pictures.. Here is another as it arrived at the Corbitt show in Henderson for the 100th anniversary show in 2012..

This morning's local news, an NBC affiliate, had almost as much time about the protests as about the inauguration. I guess the NBC owners are still as sore as George Soros about the election outcome!!

I've always wondered how many tows require the driver to use a sleeper... can't be many.

Local wrecks not much, BUT on longer haul transport probably real handy.. Also the operator can haul a co-driver back as well..

And now the wonderful rule makers have cut the 14 hour work day back to an actual 13&1/2 because your mandated 30 minute break does not stop the 14 hour clock!!!

Some of the short nosed (forget model #) Diamond T, REO and Diamond Reo's all had to 15 degree tilt Cummins 855s.

Over the years I have found that a smile and courtesy has got me thru several inspection which could have been big tickets.

It is interesting that all these criminal indictments are coming out in the 2 weeks before Obumma leaves???

BUT he could not find anything WRONG with Hildabrutes conduct???

i`ll agree with you on the ltl but dont forget the t-950&1000s- dressed were also really sharp trucks

Ernie Lear's F-1000 is a very sharp truck. Would love to have it.

Always check the crossbar when you hookup,rockin' it's not always  enough😁 amazing how far those hoses will stretch! As for the turbans, used to be a freight outfit in California hired a lot of those guys might have been Indian owned!

There are a lot of those steering wheel holders with "Wrap Around" Stetsons pulling reefers out of the Bakersfield / Fresno valley.

Diamond T also built a similar looking wood framed COE with suicide doors in the late 30's.. Tom Warren in Amarillo TX has one, but I do not know if he has restored it yet or not.

A few years ago I think the was a similar cabbed Autocar PP&G line truck at Macungie?? Anybody remember it??

That is one of the BIG Satellite dishes on the roof also.. 

Have done it many times with 2 ramps.. Just start a a 45 degree angle and run the steering up the far ramp..

If you are an ATHS Member you can get into the WOT archives and there was a whole issue which featured the Purple Power Allis's about 2-3 years ago.

Thank You for the info..Am glad to hear Crouse Hinds is still going..

I left the Syracuse area in the mid 70's and my memory keeps getting shorter each year.

Was the the original Lipe Clutch?? On 7th North St.??? In the mid 60's I worked for Ithaca Delivery out of the old trolley barn on Wolf St. that was still there a few years ago when I went by after Cortland W/E.

Sodley, another thing to consider, Is this going to be a "once in a lifetime" vacation trip for you and your WIFE??? If so Google "Pennsylvania Tourist Info" and have the PA State Tourist people send you an info package, which usually includes a good state road map. I did this for all the Northern Plains and Pacific Northwest states before we drove from South Carolina to the Yakima Wash show in 2012. Then let her pick out some things she wants to see and do. Then wrap the Macungie show into the middle of them.

I know this can become expensive.. I had said Pacific Northwest and back home, BUT my wife said we were going to make a detour on the way home by way of Fairbanks Alaska!!!

You meant New Process Gear ?

You are correct.. My memory is getting short!!

 Look for a State Farm agent who handles a lot of commercial vehicles.. I got my antique insurance thru them with no problem, but some agents only know regular cars. Also check out Gulfway in Hudson FL as the do a lot of antique trucks and you can pull a trailer with them.
