    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

    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.

    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!!!"

    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!!

    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.

    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..

    "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.

    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.

    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??

    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

    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.

    Also another reason for different cabs outside the US was because of import tarriffs/taxes... By building the cab locally people were not importing a whole truck..

    Paul and upstaters In you second picture I see the brand name "Land O Lakes" on the side with a Geneva address on the door. Was Land originally an upstate NY company from the Finger Lakes area???

    Paul That General looks like an oilfield truck and most of their welders are artists when it comes to fabbing up something like that.

    It is not just cars and trucks.. The local Toro lawn mower dealer counter man wanted the VIN number to be able to find a set of BLADES after I had told him the model number and deck size?? My reply was "Computers and Dipsh#t parts men" and walked out!! Went to the Ace Hardware and he picked them right off the shelf.

    And the twice the pipes was prolly a 9-0-nuttin..
