other dog

I'm not real good on the posting video etc. but I'll get 'er figured out somehow.

I just acquired another truck (Like I need another truck!!);I traded an old '73 Ford pick up for a 1954 (My birth year) GMC 350 (2 Ton)Conventional cab flatbed.No title (I can get one for $240.00),sheet metal and glass is good,seat is good,tires are not,but they all hold air,it's complete,was driven to where it is now,and I'm into it exactly NOTHING! Best of all,it has a 302 six,BIG 5 speed (possible a 5th over??),2 speed axle and a Brownie. Don't know a lot about it yet,but plan to go pull all the ID numbers off it and see what I have in the next couple of days. When the owner said he was selling it for scrap at $50.00/ton,I knew I had to save it. I need to get another camera,but will get pics as soon as possible.

Even though this isn't a ,we ALL like old trucks,don't we?

Speed

We do indeed!

Glad I apoligized to Rob for nothing before, so now i'm covered. I thought he left last night and was hammer down to Raleigh now...so I decided to give him a call at 3:35 am- 2:35am in central Illinois, thinking he was probably in Ohio or Kentucky by now. He was not.

I'm so sorry-i'm deleting it anyway.

...gittin' there!

Found it-no mention of the bumper though. Has a 400 Cummins and 13 spd,along with Freightliner and Peterbilt parts. Not that there's anything wrong with that,it's still a great looking truck.

It's also seen near the beginning of this youtube video-

I'd like to know where and how much that bumper can be gotten for. I want that style for my B Model Mack. Some of the Emeryville Internationals have a bumper as such. That is probably the only aftermarket item i'd buy for it since I want to keep it as stock as possible.

That looks like the one a man from up around Moundsville,West Virginia restored. If it is there was a story in either "Wheels of Time" or "Old Time Trucks" about it a while back. I'll see if I can locate it. Had all late model running gear in it though.

I went to Florida this week, but only went as far as Fernandina Beach. I was afraid to go any farther south-might've run across hatcity.

Took some 55' beams to the port. Hung this much off the front, so I only had this much off the rear.

Saw these Mack dumps for sale at Joker Joe's Truckstop.

Picked up some posts in Ehrhardt,S.C. to bring back to Troy,Va.

Unloaded lumber in Moneta Monday morning and took a picture of the A-40 Mack sitting in the field. I posted pictures of it here a while back, maybe a couple years ago. Now you can barely see it, but it's still there.

Unfortunately,I must have deleted all the original pictures I had of it.

I wonder how that handles with a high load on air ride.

The old Freightliner dump truck with air ride they have at work is pretty scary to drive loaded-feels like you're gonna tip over all the time!

This log truck was pulling a pup with about as many logs on it as was on the truck but I didn't get it in the picture.

Saw a remembrance for Fred Craig in "Old Time Trucks" so I googled him and found that he had indeed passed away,age 66. He owned Fred Craig Transfer and was "the man" at the Winchester Tri-State ATHS show.

After Old Bill posted the pictures that I took at Winchester on his website ( http://www.thedieselgypsy.com/Tom%20Blackwell-truck%20show.htm ) Fred Craig sent word that if I wanted to go and take pictures for them the following year, he would pay for mine and Bill's food and lodging.

Never heard any more from him.

Here's some of his trucks-he loved them old GMCs.

looks like something I would do.

Allways thought the cannonball sleeper was kind of a neat looking truck................Mark

I'd drive this.

saw this in Bedford Monday.

.

Hi Mike, your photo is of a "Cannonball. The "Crackerbox was a cabover truck.

Rob

These are "cannonballs", Jack Cole and McLean, with an H-model in the middle.

not to be nit-pickin or anything. I got a couple of DVD's of the old "Cannonball" TV show.

Biggest problem was the wheels are not chromed.

I'm over it now. Just got done putting a spicy rub on a pork picnic, ready to smoke all day.

I'm so sorry-i'm deleting it anyway.

It appears to me that a TOTAL lack of proper maintanance has caused the above situation.

gonna try again in the winter here. Hope frost don't get it.

BTW- don't really care for what you done to my truck. NOT FUNNY

You are so right hatcity, and I regretted it the moment I messed with your fine looking Mack. I am so ashamed of myself...i'd like to apoligize to you. I apoligize to ..."apoligize" just doesn't look right-do you think I misspelled it?...anyhow, my apoligies to you,Rob,Vision,Randy,Mike,Barry,Rowdy,Indonesian children,fags,and anyone else I might have offended.

I'll commence to deleting the picture immediatley...hmmmmm-immediately doesn't look right either-do you think I misspelled that too?

I met Bruce yesterday , ill be there for sure.

It was a good show last year,I really enjoyed it. Only a couple hours from here too.

Here's the plate off of the purple one.

(Sorry, not as good as other dog's workmanship, but I tried)

here's a picture I drew with my crayolas...they don't let me have anything sharp in here. Just let me out to go to work.

I'm just sitting around waiting for "Ice Road Truckers" to come on, so while i'm playing on the computer...

Just for the record, heres a few pictures of some of my alltime favorite cars (showing my age i guess) but this is what "real" cars look like! hell everybody likes a GTO right!?..........Mark

yes! I like this one best,

but the '66 and '67 were the best looking GTO's in my opinion. I had a 72 Nova,68 Camaro,and a 70 Chevelle SS in my younger days,then it was "family" cars.

Probably shouldn't have been bragging about the garden before. It was pretty and green then, growing nicely. Then the rain stopped. Not much left of it now. The green beans died,for the most part, after 2 pickings. Bugs ate most of the cabbage. Couldn't find sevin dust so I sprayed them with a liquid bug killer I got at Wal-Mart. Apparently it was quite tasty.

Cut all the cabbage yesterday,ran the tiller through it,and sowed greens there. Probably sowed them too early and there'll be bugs there with little tiny knives and forks waiting for it to come up. Pulled up the onions too. They didn't do too bad but they didn't get very big either. But once the tops fall over that's all they're gonna do. Peppers and tomatoes are hanging in there but look pretty bad.

And I planted several "pepper" plants that turned out to be herbs-basil or something. Won't be much hot sauce this year unless I hit my Daddy up for some of his.

looked like this about a month ago-

Here's the 2010 Colfax info, from the ATHS site.

The Mayor/Bishop tried to get that, but nobody would be able to enforce. I believe the courts hurt it.

he wanted to impress on those that wore that attire that it would be difficult for them to get a job, be taken as a responsible person and improve their life cred.
