Here is a picture I took back in the early '80s. It's a scan of an old Polaroid.

Taken at the Crazy Eddie Diesel Truckin' Nationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.

Bob McLain from Buttzville, NJ was the owner at the time.

Wheels of Time cover added for your enjoyment.

Great shot of the DM lowboy.

You even got the old "Hydro-Pruf" building in the background. Fans of "The Sopranos" saw that same building in the opening credits.

I forgot about the High Point DM wrecker..............that thing is a beast!!!

Great pics guys!

This one has the factory "speed holes".

Pic found on the web of a truck belonging to Don Robertson.

I heard Superdog has the entire list of every Mack made, only problem is it's in his head in his backyard.

Fixed it for ya!

They are from the Ron Carey collection. Very nice trucks that are restored to the same high standards as the Mahan Collection trucks.

That stretch-nose on the '51-53 integral sleeper cab would suggest an big L-Head straight six under the hood.

Dodge trucks wouldn't get the Hemi V8 until '54 when they switched to the "trapezoid" grille.

I had to check in Dodge Trucks by Don Bunn book to verify.

It's a shame it was scrapped as not many exist.

Chuck P where are the 3 J Z trucks from ? Nice pictures from all. Thanks Joe D.

They belong to a M-B car dealer (Contemporary Motor Cars) in Little Silver, NJ.

how many trucks were there? I was going to take a ride down, but plans changed

Medium-size show on all concrete surface. I'm gonna say about about 50 trucks.

Weather was threatening all day but just a passing drizzle. They had the potential to get a lot more trucks because it was heavily promoted.

I love those old A64F Autocars. I remember as a kid a local fuel oil company had a black day cab tandem that was always clean.

That wrecker has a massive Donaldson air cleaner on it.

2 beauties taken at Springfield ATHS Show 2012.

Found this one on the net.

Overdrive Magazine March 1970.

Good stuff Mark! It's great that a moment in your family's history was captured for future generations to see.

Having worked on a farm myself as a young lad I can appreciate the dedication and hard work involved with farming and getting the goods to market. It was a rough life but it made me appreciate the little things a lot more.

Caught this old beauty at a local car show today in Bordentown, NJ. They still use it for parades. Only info said it was a '47.

Well, there you go! I always referred to them as Autocar "Lite".

That's gotta be at the top of the list of awesome things that a truck restorer/owner can hope to achieve.

As others have posted before me, well done and a heck of an accomplishment.
