Green Dash

Nice shape for being at least 35 years old at the time.

I explained all this to my wife and she said "that's pretty impressive, but you still don't know Jack Schitt". Next question: Who is Squat? She says I don't know him either, and she's right.

My favorite years for F models were '71-'72 because of the dark green wraparound dash.

Ouch.

I didn't realise how many of you were so young. I knew Vinny was 12 because he's been 12 for about 3 years now, but I was surprised to see the number of members in their teens and twenties. And Vision386 is only 50, I though he was like 80 or something..... Anywho, as Mike mentioned above, it's hard to understand why any boy would not have some interest in trucks but i think it may simply have to do with what you are exposed to at a young age. I would sit for hours on a retaining wall down the street from my house that was along side a busy street and watch cars and trucks go by and never get bored. Then came that fateful day when I was nine and my Dad told me to climb up behind the wheel of a U model where he worked. At first I was kicking and screaming because it looked like it was going to fall over, but I calmed down after Dad put the kickstand down. This was my first time inside a Mack, or any large truck for that matter, and while looking out (and to the right) over that hood I had what I believe was an epiphany. It was a feeling I'd never felt before and it was the moment trucks and trucking got "into my blood". For the next 10 years or so I spent every moment I could riding with my Dad in various B, F, R, and U models as well as several other brands, cabovers and conventionals, sleepers and daycabs. My favorite memories from my childhood are mostly from times I spent in or around a truck and it's refreshing to see that same enthusiasm in today's youth despite the fact that we live in a much different world.

Yes, it says so below my signature.

In the first pic the front axle looks a bit narrow, like on a BCR. I can't wait until you're old enough to say shit, it's much less graphic.

I've been wanting to move there but no homes are for sale and rentals have a 99 year wait list. I understand it's because of the low taxes, good schools, and it's on a bus line.

Welcome, Luis. You come to the right place if you like to talk, learn, and laugh.

To get to the other side.

Mike is gonna be pissed when he reads that you have his pen.

The Chevy is a '63. Your Photoshop skills are improving. The Triad Metals chick looks as if she were actually there. Did you tell Rob we said "hi"? As Ralph Kramden would say: "How sweet it is!"

Welcome! Why is there an interstate in Hawaii?

I just woke up on on my kitchen floor with a nasty hangover and clutching an empty hot sauce bottle. What did I say?

It takes a special breed of lowlife to not only prey on a fellow human being, but senior citizens. I hope this saga will end with justice being served to those scumbags.

There have been countless times in my life where I've thought about what it would be like to spend even an hour with my Mom and to be able to have our first real conversation.

Times have certainly changed.

Good to hear from you!

I like the B model at :58. My only criticism of the video is that the music ended before I reached my floor.

My money says there's a B model under there and, with fresh batteries and a shot of ether, it will start .

My Mom died from breast cancer in 1964, she was 36 and I was 2. I have no memories of her and If it weren't for several photos and a single voice recording made 4 months before she died, I would have no idea what she looked or sounded like. It's for that reason that I feel compelled to hug even a complete stranger upon learning they are a cancer survivor. That includes you mike69mackman, if we ever meet. You've been warned.

The '81 in my avatar had a new cab put on in '96 and it had the hard plastic.

Happy Birthday Barry and Tim! While I have your attention I just want to say how wonderful the new "Best Answer" feature is. Just when you think BMT couldn't possibly get any better, it does! I'm getting verklempt..

Happy Birthday!

Holy Crap, I thought you were at least 35! Happy Birthday!
