Bulldog Man its funny you mentioned the mower because that is one of the things I do to stay active. I have a big enough

yard for a rider but I kept the push mower and it forces me to move. I've always tried to stay active (mountain biking, weights,

golf, etc) but in the summer when your working a ton of hours it gets tough to squeeze in workouts so mowing is at least

one way to get moving. I try to look at washing my truck and trailer as a workout or if I'm doing lowboy stuff and slinging

chains it feels better to get up and move rather than sitting on my ass all day. Gonna be 34 shortly and getting a little

fatter than I'd like to be, so I've cut back on the boredom snacking and am trying to get my ass back in gear. It's tough

after a 12 hour day in the truck but, gotta do it. Good luck to all.

Saw this A-car at Louisville a few years back.

That is one sharp looking 13 letter shit spreader.

Cool G-model. I'm gonna say that Vision picture must have been taken at Louisville. The red doors look familiar.

I had an 01 Tahoe with a 5.3 and I had a K&N air raid intake and a MBRP exhaust. I never had any troubles with it. I sold it two years

ago with 113,000 on it and the same guy still has it running everyday. I could usually get anywhere between 15 to 17 mpg around town

and once got 20mpg on a trip to Georgia (all highway miles). I bought a 2011 Silverado 1500 4 door 4x4 with the 6.2 in it and I have been

getting 15 to 17 with it stock. I have been very happy with this truck.

I'd ditch the spot mirrors on the hood, but the rest of the truck is bad ass. Very nice!

I just saw that motor home on the travel channel or DIY, one those channels had a show about extreme motorhomes

and that was one of em. He engineered it so you can drive it from the roof. The steering shaft disconnects and can be

connected upstairs. Pretty cool.

Saw this 66 Autocar from Michigan at the 2005 ATHS show in Auburn IN.

Nice. Even rockin some Rage Against The Machine. Looks like the one R is gonna need some hood repair after that race.

Excellent shot Mark. Looks like he has all of the bases covered with all that variety. If those are all hand-built as stated then that gentleman has a lot of talent.

I spy a longhood GMC on the back shelf near his boot. I always liked those trucks.

I'm pretty sure this is the truck the toy was modeled after. Took this picture at Iowa 80, same place the toys were at.

The real truck is from Wis and I'm pretty sure it was featured in Wheels of Time a few years back.

I think Athern makes the CH600, you can find them on ebay in HO scale.

You are right. Got a few of them myself.

Nice. I'm gonna say those were in Mexico or South America somewhere. Is the driver in a hammock under the trailer of the DM?

I was at tractor supply on Saturday and I picked up a copy of wheels of time. The feature article was a real nice spread on Hendrickson. Gave a real good description of the company history. One interesting note was that surprisingly the last Hendrickson truck sold was a 2010 model VT. It looked like similar to the HME. I guess they finally

went under because they just couldn't build a good plastic truck as they were steeped in the steel tradition.

Here is the cover truck for this months wheels of time. Took these pics at Iowa 80 Walcott truck show a few years back.

I like how they are touting easy access to the engine. I had mine apart this summer, what a pain in the ass. I'm lucky though

in the handling department, I have power steering, handles like a fine European sports car:)

The Lucas water truck was in New Egypt NJ. Thats where I took that photo..

Cool. I figured those trucks/pictures belonged to somebody on this site. They were to cool to be "random" Macks.

This remote controlled A&R Peterbilt was at Louisville a few years ago. I'm sure this wasn't cheap.

That RD is 285's picture. That truck is in Peurto Rico.

Ok. Puerto Rico huh. Lucky guy doesn't have to deal with any salt eating his truck away.

How about this White for a misc truck. This was at an ATHS show in Richland Center WI a few years back.

Was even pulling a set of doubles. I can't say that I've ever seen another in person.

Was that Don Garletts dragster? Been a long time ago when I saw that car.

Yes it is. I think I have had that poster since the mid eighties sometime.

A guy had these models on display at the 2012 Large Car Shootout in Rantoul IL.
