Apgar Bros Bound Brook NJ, and Mystic (now Anchor) bulk carriers(all KW now)
Good call on the Cream Yellow and Green Apgar Macks. They ran super singles on spokes for a long time before it was popular.

AAA out of Trenton, NJ pretty much ran B-models right into the '80s.
Mushroom had a lot of R models too back in their prime.

"Nice Beaver!" (in my best Leslie Nielsen voice)
On a more serious note, I was shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Bill Bedell earlier this year.
I've been a follower of his Flickr photo album for a long time and I always marvelled at the quality and quantity of his big rig shots. He will be surely missed by all.

Wow, Mark! That's a great old pic.
That would have been about the time when it was known as the Sandman truckstop. Well before the current Petro/Loves that is there now at Exit 7 NJTP.

I've seen the Bilkays IH 4900 many times on 278 in Linden.
I wasn't aware of the old Yale/UR being dismantled. It was an awesome site on the NY skyline for many years right near the Javits Center.
I thought that tractor looked like an old flatnose WC26 White.

I know that derelict truck yard in NJ. It's in Rahway across from the state prison. Lots of old trailers and equipment in there.

I do remember reading a story some time ago,where a radio station (somewhere in the mid-west I think?) put away a 1958 Corvette roadster in a "time capsule" (cinder block building) to be opened by the winning ticket holder (if still alive,or his decendants) in the year 2000, sure enough they opened up the "vault" and the car had been almost completely ruined! seemed the bomb shelter had leaked,and the car had been sitting in 3 feet of water for all those years! Wish I could remember where I read the article,Hemmings Motor News maybe?......................................Mark
This car Mark?

I loved Movin' On as a kid.
It may have been one of the first VITs when the show came out and was made just prior to the "gullwing" bumper.
Claude Akins had some success later on as Sherriff Lobo.

I love the shot of the G and F at the dock. Classic picture.

Excellent shot Mark. Looks like he has all of the bases covered with all that variety. If those are all hand-built as stated then that gentleman has a lot of talent.
I spy a longhood GMC on the back shelf near his boot. I always liked those trucks.

I'd be in for a little trip. Roughly an hour north of me on the NJTP.
The trucks can still be seen on Google Maps. The Gradall is in the background as well.

Post some front pics so I could see what outfit it came from.

Funny Blazing Saddles scene when Slim Pickens and his gang of desperados encounter a toll booth in the middle of the plains.
"Someones gotta go back and get a $hitload of dimes!" I crack up everytime I see that part.
