Another suggestion for an "engine cradle" is old tires, they spread out the weight some and protect the oil pan..

I believe that Omaha Orange was one of the first "Safety Colors" after Red fire trucks. A lot of municipal vehicles were painted that color..

Was that snow blower a proper FWD approved 2 cycle???

Paul, If the people working the floor the day we were there are any indication of the upper levels of management I would say they were great.. I have also heard that the majority of the items on display have been donated to the museum?

Only 2 pictures?? Must have been on one of those Super Secret classified missions this week!!!

Flett also had one of the last chain drive Sterlings (1953??) at ATHS Springfield Mass in 2012.

I LIKE IKE!!! And yes, I am old enough to remember that campaign slogan. KSC, very well said. I like many of Trump's ideas but only time will tell if they will work.

I really doubt if any of the regulations back up, BUT I Sincerely hope that Trump can control the EPA so they do not advance as fast into the insanity that they has planned for the future.

That may be one of the Road Ranger "Super 10" (a 5 speed which you split each gear) transmissions which had a very slow shifting back box due to a wide ratio difference. With the one I drove for 3 years in the middle 90's, starting out uphill and/or with a heavy load, the splitter/back box shifted a lot faster if you drove it like an old Spicer 12 or 16 speed of the 50's-60's by going thru neutral during the splitter shift. Some guys would shift it with the Jake, BUT that had to be hard on the whole drive train!! By the time you got to 5th the momentum of the truck allowed it to shift OK. I think (??) this transmission was the basis for the first autoshifts where it would split 5th automatically.

I always love your New England pinstriping!!

Yep!!! Noticed he was still passing when the lane ended!!

Kieth I have no idea?? Try sending an email direst to Steve Rosemond the ATHS RVP and one of the officers of the Corbitt group.. steverosemond@yahoo.com

When our company, Wrangler Blue Jeans, allowed us to install inverters in our tractors they REQUIRED us to purchase 2/0 welding cable..

The Corbitt 100th anniversary show in 2010 at Henderson NC

Does he have it listed with the Corbitt Preservation Society?? Last I knew they only were aware of about 200 known left to exist..

My Detour was about the same??? 6 days on 2 of the islands in Hawaii on the way home.. Whole deal was about$25k..

Paul 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???

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?

Tom 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!!

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!!!
