Red Horse and Jim Part of the hotel expenses is that when ATHS contracts with the "host hotel" they pay for a block of rooms. If these are not all taken by exhibitors ATHS has to pay for them. and a lot of us with small checkbooks go to Super 8, Econolodge, Budget Host, ETC,ETC. Also this year the meetings were at the Big E instead of renting meeting rooms at the hotel. Total expense listed as $16,735 Here are some interesting figures: Show site rental $59,220 and no income from parking so that $5/car must have also gone to Big E. Staff expenses were double of any other show at $32,492. Shuttle busses $32,140 the highest of the last 9 years. On the income side the gate fee (spectators?) was $49,410, sponsors $17,000 which was down a lot from most years except Auburn and Baltimore, Convention registration ($25 from exibitors?) $43,800, Truck registration ($15 per truck?) $16,140. They made some money on the tours, golf carts, convention dinners, and a few smaller misc items. As Mr. Hancock states, It would be interesting to see all the figures. Brocky

Red Horse I have a breakdown of the major areas for the last 9 years. 5 they made money and 4 they lost money. This year was not as bad as Pleasanton Calif or Baltimore MD. What would be really interesting would be to see a line by line acounting as to where some of these expenses moneies go, Brocky

Mike Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Hopefully yours will heal up OK. Most 2 yreas ago I fell and ended up with what they called a "Torn Rotator Cuff". Had to have surgery and it took a whole year before it was some where back to normal, and still do not have total use of it. My prayers are with you. Brocky

The blue F model belongs to a close friend of mine. That is his son driving it. It was originally a Dukes Mayonnaise fleet truck from Greenville SC. Brocky

Mike Superdog REF: EQ Mack You are right about the wheels. The whole thing is on a 1 ton Chevy Chassis. Brocky

Here are a few of the Macks at the Western North Carolina Chapter show in Cherokee NC last weekend

If you Make your move on at Saturday afternoon evening and those scales should(??) be closed up. Brocky

That Mack probably weighs about 12,000 lbs (???) so that intl would be about at its limit. check the data tag and tire ratings for allowable weights, then total your weights up. You might have to load it facing backwards to keep the weight down on the steering axle?? As an old outlaw I would load it up. dodge the scales, give myself extra stopping space, and bring her home.

Brad Please check with Mr. Tony Clemens, 6705 North County Rd 141, Kilgore TEX, phone 830-743-3179 He is the president of the East Texas Wildcatters chapter of ATHS. There is a good possibility that he can help you with a good ballpark price, available local storage, and / or a way to help you keep it in the family and show it. Brocky

An outfit in North Jersey used to have something similiar to dump bulk plastic pellets out of container trailers into a blower which blew them into pnuematic bulk trailers. Probably were also used for dumping wood chips and similiar materials before the live floors and big hydraulic platforms were developed. Brocky

Tom Please go to the ATHS site (aths.org) they currently have a topic going about titles and gives you the name and address of a company in Maine who can register it in Maine, where the registration is proof of ownership on older vehicles, then sell it back to you with the proper paperwork for Wisc to issue you at title. Brocky

I was born and raised on Brockways and my avavitor is my 358 that I want to make into a roll back. I am also bitten by the Diamond T bug as in the atthahed pictures.

That 157 Brockway is a rarity also. would like to see a 3/4 view so I can see the front as well. What year is it?? As it must be a combination of the 100 series cab with 200 series fenders?? A front view will tell he if it is a 100 or 200 series grille / radiator suround. Brocky

Vlad They look good here. Probably better than any others in your neighborhood. Brocky

A lot of the truck price falls in the catagory of "how bad the buyer wants it and how much the seller wants" I have about 65 in my Diamond T and similiar ones sold recently go in the 40's although at Barrett Jackson Scotsdale 2 years ago one brought 100. When some one asks me if it is for sale I just say "it depends on how big their checkbook is", so far I have not heard any offers. As Mike said, There are a lot of variables involved if you are selling. If you are looking for "declared value" collision insurance you will probably have to go to an appraiser who has the right paperwork for the insurance company requesting the appraisal. In Greenville SC it was a Corvette / Classic car dealer who only wanted pictures and a short verbal description of its rareity and who and how the restoration was done and he wrote it up for the 65 I have in it. Hope all this helps Brocky

Do you have lots of time??? About 25 years ago my Aunt and Uncle booked a stateroom on a freight ship from the west coast to Oz. No cruise ship, but good accomidations and food. No idea of the cost?? Brocky

Is the Wagon Wheel restraunt in Paradise still operating with the same food as 25 years ago??? Brocky

You will have to find a tire man that services container chassis. And there are a lot of the one man / one truck tire service men out there, It is the big tire companys and chains who will not touch snap ring tires. OSHA scardicats. The majority of the containers are still running 10:00 X 20 snap ring tube type tires. Just be sure they are in a cage or mounted on the truck snap ring facing inside or another tire before inflating them. Brocky
