Not my pic but me pulling up. Paving in Lodi Friday night.

My wife grew up in Lodi. Nice little town.

I spent a lot of time picking up trucks for Penske Truck Leasing at Atlantic DD...........right next to the Bada-Bing!

That was in Wheels of Time (Nov/Dec 2005) a few years back.

Nice tractor!

B75LST found on the web.

The green one is owned by Dave Igou. He had an opportunity to buy it back after he sold it. Dave painted the frame red.

It's a great color combination!

From my work computer the first pics look like a panoramic view.

Great show today. I'm glad the weather held out. The 2 rows of Superliners was awesome!

Autocar spec sheet found on the web.

Ford made a batch of '58 Ford Thunderbirds stamped out of stainless steel as well. The S.S was real tough on the stampings and would require much tooling repairs.

Talk about Mack overload! Sounds like they had a nice visit and saw some awesome equipment too.

Wow that truck collection is really growing. Lots of familiar looking trucks in there.

I really like those "hot rod" tractors as well.

Thanks for sharing!

Sometimes wicked lies under the skin.

This has gotta be a handful to drive, aluminum-head 427 hooked to a TH400. Local body shop near me built this up in a clean Chevette resto. Dummy pipe in the back..... real 3" exhaust tucked up real close underneath.

I got a shot of the engine over the weekend.

Car is currently on ebay. No connections to seller.

That is a most awesome honor!

I have a few of Robert's books in my library namely the two excellent Autocar books that are becoming harder to find.

Is that a '54 (+ -) Ford? My Mom had one like that but it was beige.

It's a '52.

90 day Haz-waste pickup again.

The Freightshaker carries the supplies (empty steel drums, vermiculite, etc) and the Pete hauls away the waste (expired raw materials, solvents, bulk pilot batches, etc).

Being a large quantity waste generator, we'll put sometimes a 1/2 or 2/3 trailer's worth of waste drums every 3 months.

I think I saw this car on a TV show.

The Amaducci wrecker back in the day.

Nice setup. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Somethings have changed. Both truck pictures do show a pillar mounted spotlight and convex mirrors mounted way out front on the fenders. The red has really faded. Must have been red Rustoleum paint.

....and the fixed 5th wheel and same banged up cross member in front of said 5th wheel, oh and stack location too.

Buffalo NY-based early R Model. Found on the web.

Dang! What happened to that poor girl?

I shot this pic back in 2006. Such a shame to see it neglected like that.
