    KSC- Just curious-Article lists Ford at 19% in class 6/7. If you go to the Ford australia web site, they don't list a medium truck-in fact only "truck" is the world Ranger and a Falcon car based "Ranchero" type vehicle. So what are these 6/ Fords?

    Matt-this one is a tandem, 12 speed, E-9

    Well here is Dan Melone's B-81 making its first "gathering" today after Dan's rebuild-which except for the cab painting, he did pretty much himself. A beauty which has been in his family for all but one year since it came down the line.

    Also correct
  5. Red Horse
    Correct!

    Well made the trip to Denis Yaworski's this week and here is his latest. Unreal RD-800, E-9, 12 speed, 65 rears, Atlas body (that had been in the Yaworski working fleet.). The exhaust was apart so Denis could not move it out for pix but you get the idea. This truck has been professionally done.

    IMO, they should stick to what they know best. Wonder how Cat figures they own the "rights to the Paystar cab" How about..."they own rights to the ugly hood"

    I would say this issue is not dead yet. This truck was specifically donated to the New England Chapter of ATHS. ATHS says chapters can't own anything. I guess solution is the former chapter must sell the truck? Or donate it to something like the Mack Museum? In the short term, my understanding is the truck will be on loan to the Mack Museum I believe ATHS would like to sell it to cover their overhead and fund other great projects-or should I say projects they deem to be great-like spending almost 100 grand to erect a huge CF/MFX neon sign on their property! Hopefully it will end up as apermanent addition to Mack Museum.

    Thx Lanny- looks like a little roll over recovery-maybe Berlin turnpike?
  10. Red Horse
    Thx-Which supports the theory that B-70's had different hood lenghts per the Warth book and also substantiates Rossi's B71 has same BBC as a B-61.

    Matt- I think I remember that F-2000D Binder. I just remember all the Ford Super Duties they had back in early 60's
  15. Red Horse
    Ah Joe's Garage, Fountain Street! How about Plunske, Rt. 5 Wallingford- Got any pix of their Ford Super Duty Fleet???
  16. Red Horse
    And plenty of power right?

    Smart Ass! Just how old do you think I am???? I do have a soft spot those for those old slant back Penn Tanks with the manual pump up internals!

    Boy have times changed. Whatever happened to....."No replacement for displacement." Imagine 165 cubic inches in a half ton pick up! Now as for the Ecoboost concept, I have a Taurus SHO. 365 HP and the thing is amazing-it will climb hills in 4th or 5th at about 1100 RPM. Push the gas a little harder, it holds the gear and accelerates. truly a low end torque machine. Just hope thay are not pushing the envelope too far. In any case, love to have that 2.7 in my 04 Ranger instead of the gas hog 4.0 V6!

    thx Chuck- knew it was a 927-forgot about the Super 250 designation. CRS!
  20. Red Horse
    Matt You sure about 250? I thought it was a rare 927.
  21. Red Horse
    Bought my share of Heil DOT 306 tanks "back in the day"-along with Fruehaufs when a Fruehauf was a Fruehauf. Couldn't go wrong either way. Too bad they won't be built here---SOS!
  22. Red Horse
    I would make that .."Northeast". Just look at the ATHS issues from say Syracuse and Springfield national shows. Then again maybe were just "ingrained"
  23. Red Horse
    Matt- He said yes- Rack body dump
  24. Red Horse
    Beauty-Nice work-what are they going to put on it?
  25. Red Horse
    Looks like you got a good buy. Louisvilles were a great bang for the buck. What is plate? 27,500 lbs?? Great Rubber too
