  1. I'm out of likes, but I like the B models plowing too- great pictures.
  2. ...and feel free to use these spectacular, blurry, and poorly photochopped pictures any way you want. you could print and shred them...or you could print them and then use the paper to start a fire in the trash barrel. "the gripping descriptions are better than the pictures anyway"- Green Dash,1967. I took the last mill roll load to Milton Monday. Here's some road shots on rt. 60-i'm about to go around a curve to the left here- and here's a curve to the right going up a hill here- some S&H Green Stamps I still have, that have absolutely nothing to do with anything. now i'm going down a hill- thought I was done with all that, but here's another curve to the right. some mill rolls at the steel mill- more rolls- the odd shaped one on the lower right is for piling instead of beams. bulk tankers parked at the mill- now we'll have a brief intermission... A green R model in Appomattox. A white R model in Clinton, Pa. A red R model in Steubenville,Oh. Some Euclid trucks Western Star trucks at the mat unloading place in Clinton,Pa. Unloading... this is the road coming out from the mat unloading place. pretty steep hill there- you can see the hill on the other side in the mirror in the second picture. there were some horses in the field too. back on the "big road" back on the really big road now. Going back to Long Island for another load of mats. Gotta turn off this skinny road onto the even skinnier road to the left here. coming back out- got to get to the left as far as you can to make this right turn. A little chilly to be wearing short-shorts and sneakers,eh?.. apparently not, in Sharon,Pa. I've posted this before, but that's a good looking Superliner right there. Some more yellow machines by the road. A red KW, just got in last night-loaded 5 coils in Sharon,Pa, 48,000+ lbs. Saw this girl in Winfall- I think she's trying to fix that junky looking fence, but i'm not sure what she's doing. Then when I got down to Gladys I saw this girl-
  3. Amen Mark! I'm already out of likes, and i'm not even all the way to the finish line in the first topic i'm reading since I got home.
  4. This is true, there are hundreds of contributors to Hank's site, I met Johnny Click at a truck show in Lincolnton,N.C. last year, real nice guy. and i'm facebook friends with him, Dennis Shull, and Hank. I'm sure the majority of them don't feel the same way as Mr. Sissick. He has a picture of an F.L.Moore truck in his collection, a white Coranado that was taken at a truckstop in New Jersey several years ago, so he's probably a Jerseyite himself, and you know how they are...(just kidding Mark!)
  5. Loved the Red Green show!
  6. Thanks Barry, I too have posted pictures from Hank's here, and they're all over many different truck pages on facebook- one place he specificaly said not to post them- but I won't post any more.
  7. Saw this one when I was headed north on 501.
  8. here's a few, found on facebook. Nice model-
  9. Don't know what this is. Looks like it might be a Pacific. It's very tall anyway.
  10. that's a big'un! I got Jo to stand in front of it for a size comparison but she's a good ways away from it here. Especially her feets.
  11. Went through Winfall the other night. Saw two girls that had gotten their car stuck. Maybe I should have stopped and help them push it out, I don't know.
  12. An MH I once saw. I had Jo stand in front of it and sip a soda for a height comparison. She was arrested for trespassing right after I took the picture. Sippin' a soda in front of a Freightliner. 9000 Ford
  13. They might be- I stood in front of one at David's this summer, and i'd forgotten just how tall they are, that thing was huge.
  14. "feet back and spread 'em...now don't move!" "like this?" "not you, you idiot- I was talking to him, now beat it!"
  15. Now that's a load of wood right there!
  16. A big Diamond T, at the Keystone Tractor Museum.
  17. well, maybe it's not an improved model- the old one ain't bad.
  18. I have a picture of Jo sitting in a B model in Greensboro. She couldn't drive it though, her feet won't reach the pedals.
  19. Here's another Corbitt that was in Greensboro, not quite as tall as the other, but still pretty tall! The conventional Corbitt's were pretty sharp looking trucks.
  20. I saw a new and improved pigmobile you might want to look into too.
  21. I can't imagine either, I mainly just want a place to sleep and some cabinet space for snacks my clothes. Of course I don't live in the truck like some drivers do, and i'm rarely out over a week at a time.
  22. Don't have many pictures, I was on the Petersburg to Milton mill roll run this week. Good run though, interstate all the way and it pays good. Burns your hours up fast though, it's almost 400 miles one way. And you've got to climb lots of hills- Afton Mtn, North Mtn, Sandstone, to name a few. It was hot in Petersburg when I loaded Tuesday. I was sweating and ran the AC most of the day. All that came to an end and it was back to this by Friday morning in Alta, W.V. A mill roll. Had two of them some trips. Other times I had one and 2 more rings in a different rack. The ring is the big part on the roll, that's what forms the beams at the mill. That's what they do in Milton, take the old ring off and put a new one on. Saw this in Winfall on the way home.
