other dog

Other Dog,

Thanks for posting these. It is always interesting to see what trucks have survived in other parts of the country. Looks like you a had a great show with a variety, lots of Macks, and other old timers that you just don't see anymore.

Firemack

True indeed, and I am happy to post the pictures.

I always liked the looks of the conventional marmon,from what i have heard they were damn good trucks, very well built............Mark

Always heard the same. P.L's. here.

More bikes-saw these 2 at the truck show.

All (well,most) of the truck show pictures from the ATHS show in Lincolnton,N.C. are on webshots now-

I think it has an eastern hood on a western chassis. Homogenization is the correct term I believe.

Rob

but I wonder if it's been pasteurized?

FAIL

OK, i'm starting to put them on webshots.

hmmmm...I never knew I could do that,or even what "easy share" was. It's an all day job to put that many pictures on Webshots,this took about 10 minutes!

how come this f$%#in' link worked a while ago and doesn't now?!! Can anybody else see pictures,or just a Kodak page?

Went to Rustburg a while ago to get some "Bone Sucking Sauce" at Long Mountain Grocery. Only place around that has it. Lost a million dollars though,because I bet Jo a million that they'd be closed on Sunday. Took a picture of this Triumph while I was there, as i've always thought it was a great looking bike.

I wish i'd gotten a picture of what we saw coming north on 501 as we were coming home though-a Marmon motor home! Kinda like the R-model,but it was a Marmon,kind of rare to see anymore in itself, much less a motorhome. Even had a 4-wheeler behing it on a tow bar.

I hear bats are disappearing, and no one knows why. Kinda like honey bees. I know I don't see near as many as when I was a kid, when we'd stand in the driveway at night and throw gravel in the air to watch them dive for it.

Wonder if the modified the hood on that R model? Both of my RL series trucks have the same grille panel but use the small script letters above the panel mounted throught he hood itself. My R795 uses the same style hood as this one but does not have the front panel. Also on this photo the headlamp escutcheon panels do not seem the correct length for either an RL, or RS series of truck. Both of mine appear to be shorter.

Rob

couldn't say...but here's a closer look.

I also bought these items.

Did ya see any trucks there at all????? LMAO! wish i ooulda went, but i finished up my loacl drops today, did'nt get home till 8pm tonight, but i'm off sunday and monday, so its not too bad.............Mark

Of course we saw a few trucks. Not too many that I hadn't seen before, but it was still a good time. That B and R-model were still sitting on that trailer on 158 too. Was gonna stop a get a picture on the way home but it was raining hard then.

...Sure was some ugly lookin women there at that show. I left the show about 2:30 eastern time and what took me so long to get home was sitting in one lane traffic for many miles trying to get to Ashville, N.C. going West Bound. I'll post a few truck photos soon when I find my computer cord so I can down load them.

mike

We got there a little after 11 and left about 1:30 or so. Hate to have missed you, I was hoping you'd call. I was wearing a straw hat with Dale Earnhardt on it and a bigmacktrucks.com T-shirt.

I asked Jo if she wanted to walk around one more time before we left but she said she was tired of walking.

Is that a framed picture of Burt Reynolds sitting in front of the car, or is it more from the series of photos that this came from?

yeah,that's Burt. This is the Smokey and the Bandit KW, Trans Am, and sheriff's car that Buford clipped the top off of.

Well I'm needing to have hoses built up for a couple of truck within the next couple of months. Trouble is my local vendor has been forced out of a job recently. The other places that build up these hoses locally are astronomical in pricing so I'm willing to go distant if the quality of product and work is good. I'm needing Aeroquip style hoses in -4, -6, -8, -12, sizes in various lengths.

Anybody frequent a particular vendor for this type stuff?

Thanks,

Rob

Everybody around here gets hoses made at Ferbee Johnson co. They made an obsolete hose for the mixer for me once. Can't find their yellow page ad, but their no. is 434-847-6651.

Looking at my 175 pictures on the big screen (computer).

Not bad puppies here-

but this was the best looking dog I saw!

And no, I was not stalking her.

I'll be putting more on webshots or photobucket,i'll post a link when I get them done. Great show by the way!

Be looking for this tomorrow-that would be me. I'll have an elf with me too.

Just got the parts in, currently beta testing the A/c unit...

oh...the Thermo King unit must have been too expensive.

Look at Mack's website, under "MackShop", cold weather wear, last item on the page, or use the link:

https://www.mack-shop.com/mti/VALUE/items.asp?Cc=09%2D07&Bc=

wow!..I got a helluva deal!

Only thing I don't like about it is that it was made in China-but what'cha gonna do?..good song by the way-Pablo Cruise.

I'm assuming those jackets are no longer being sold;if or someone still carries 'em,I'll have to work towards getting one. Very good looking jacket!

Speed

thanks Speed!

Best way to take a picture of a picture is to angle the camera so the flash is not reflected causing glare. It works pretty good but you have to take a few before you get the angle right.

yeah,I took them outside so the flash wouldn't go off,but still deleted about 10 before I got tired of fooling with it and got one I could use!

I just can't help wondering......the guy on the bike likes em awful young don't ya think.

mike

Tom, Just kidding ya.....

actually,that's my step daughter-now married with 3 children.

back in the day-when I had hair....

...and was about 50 lbs. lighter...

and what's left of my hair is now white.

Have you seen that Redneck Comedy Tour where they go through a bunch of old pictures at the end of the show? There's the one of Jeff Foxworthy posing in a full body orange jumpsuit on top of a car,...that's kind of what I was expecting to see here. Suprising how some stuff lasts and the memories you attach to it.

I had a lime green jumpsuit,but sold it a yard sale in 1988. Got $10 for it though,more than enough for 2 cases of Ballentine at the time.
