Hello everyone, I have always loved trucks since I was a kid. I don't have a CDL or a commercial truck but always appreacated them. When I was in my twenties, I had a job at a tire company delivering tires to accounts. I was either driving a pickup or a UD Box truck. I found I loved being on the road. After 6 months I decided to try to get a job at a towing company or get my CDL. As fate would have it, I got a towing job and never got my CDL. I worked for a towing company for about 4 years 1996-2000 and drove International flatbeds (under CDL) and had a C30 Wrecker myself as well. Now for the past 12 years I worked for a classic car dealership in sales. I always loved the B-Macks and would like to find an old wrecker to redo. I was at the Macungie Truck show for the first time over the weekend and I think that got my juices flowing for an old truck to redo. I found this site and joined. I don't know what/when/if I go jump into this but at the very least, I can learn some stuff about these trucks through this site. For me the learning process is the most exciting, next to the restoration process. Thats my story and thanks!

Hello all. I hope you all don't mind me signing up to join in the conversation. I do not own an old or new commercial truck, Mack or other wise but I always appreciated them - especially B models. My uncle Ron Novrit is in the business (Ronald E. Novrit Transportation Consultants) and asked if I wanted to go to the show. It was my first truck show and I am hooked. I will be back next year and might get the bug to get an old truck to show as well (I have some classic cars). Here are about 130+ pictures I took: http://s387.photobucket.com/albums/oo320/jtformula/Macungie%20PA%20Truck%20Show%206-16-12/ I have about 5 shots of that B8136 sx wrecker. That was my favorite truck of the show. I used to work for a towing company and had my own wrecker (78 C30 Chevy with Wreckmaster Body) for a few years as well so they have a special place in my heart. I wanted to buy a B Tow Truck but I don't have the room right now. Seeing all those great trucks and some of those collections, I have to give you guys come credit. Collecting/Restoring these things is a whole different world then doing muscle and classic cars. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. JT Burkard
