other dog

If it looks like I have a drink in each hand, pay no attention, it's just an optical illusion.

Here's the traditional noon picture of the BMT members in front of the Watt's Mack tent at high noon. Kind of a light turnout this year.

I saw this truck in the "For Sale" lot yesterday and got all excited, but there was no phone number or price on it. Just the truck I'd love to have. Clean as a pin on the inside, only showing 23,000 miles. Has a 6V-53 in it, 5 spd, 2 spd. rear. I could look cool and make lots of noise with that! But I got excited for nothing, apparently it's not for sale. It's parked over on the show grounds now.

Here's a few more.

I saw that truck come in, I took a zoom picture with the camera.

A few more-

Jim Hancock

The Draggin' Wagon, formerly known as fuzzy buzzard.

Thank you, I will.

Stephen Robson's picture-

These are in the parking lot at the motel.

Underdog's F model.

I think this is the first time I've seen those trucks here.

Sorry you couldn't make it, hope your wife is OK. It'll probably be a while on the pictures this year, because we're still moving and I haven't moved my computer yet. And we've already cancelled the internet at the old house, so I just don't know. I won't be able to post any pictures that I take with the camera until I get the PC going.

Another Sonny Pruitt mobile. This is the best looking Cruiseliner I've ever seen. The owner brought it all the way from Wisconsin. A green B model integral sleeper.

In front of the Mack factory in Macungie. Pit stop- There's some trucks on the grounds now, but the show doesn't officially start until tomorrow. We're just riding around looking.

What if it's raining at high noon, do you have an umbrella I can borrow?

Yes, but this guy had several buildings in several different places packed full of these old vehicles. I don't have any idea what he did with any of them, if anything. I was kind of curious what they brought at auction, but I never heard. Mecum auctioned off several old GMCs a while back, a D860 and several more, like 630's or something, don't remember, some had 6-71s, one was a 4-71, all 5 speeds with 2 speed rears I think. I don't know what they went for either, but before the auction their web site said they were expected to go for from 90 to $100,000. They were all restored trucks though, looked really nice, maybe not $100,000 nice.

That's like that guy in Lynchburg a while back- he died and they auctioned off his collection of old cars, truck, boats, even an airplane. He had them stashed in several old buildings, and the thing is nobody knew any of them were there until they started moving things out to get the ready to sell. I heard about some that were sitting in one place in Lynchburg and me and Zina went to investigate. Then I saw more of the guy's stuff in Madison Heights that had been in another building when I went to the eye Dr. A fairly young guy I think, filthy rich, and had all these old and rare vehicles stashed around that nobody knew about- weird. I'm pretty sure I posted pictures of some of the stuff here.

I could use a couple of dressers if you run across any good deals.

I wonder if Paul Birch and William Campbell really drove the cannonball? You can tell in a lot of scenes that there's not even a windshield in the truck. I've only seen the 2 episodes that I have on a DVD since I was a kid, many years ago. They're also on YouTube, maybe they're the only episodes in existence now. On a side note, there's a William Campbell High School here between Gladys and Brookneal. Probably named for a different William Campbell though 🤣
