    Was that the one at Portsmouth Naval shipyard? Wonder what he got for a sentence.

    Well these two beauties are sitting on a transport this AM here in central Mass. Headed from New Hampshire to Utah. No V-8 badges so assuming 6 bangers.

    Hmnn...Do they still "walk the plank" ?? Might be fitting😎

    Agree-as for the A-car 100% American-as for the Binder, only 17% German-but better than 100%😎.. yah I know -its a world economy-still tough to accept that.

    And what do you see regarding the senate race? If Mills is that unpopular hopefully it will help Collins
  9. Red Horse
    Yeah Jim but think of the money they save on charcoal or propane-just flip the steak on the grill!

    And I piss and moan when its 90!😎 Never bitch about winter-too cold? Put another layer on

    Excellent U-Moss included! I think I would rather deal with "southern moss" than Northeast salt! looking forward to the 200😎

    Mercedes was failing? KSC- you think so? I guess in my mind, if you believe Hebe's original "pronouncement " that the Ford purchase was a good thing because they were the "vocational leader" sounds like the Bullet was a good compliment to the rest of the Sterling line. Of course when you look at it in terms of conditions today, F'liner is the "vocational" king. That 300 million they paid Ford was the best way they could have bought market share. I was surprised they kept Sterling going as long as they did. Let's see, kind of like the situation Mack is in right now.

    Hah! You are a cynic-but you are probably correct!😎

    And what is your loader?? Sell your truck already or keeping your options open? In any case congrats! Don't know if you were at this point but my view has always been, when that clock goes off in the AM and your first reaction is.."Oh shit",...time to move on.

    Agree on the grill. I miss the old days when a set of shutters was the "grill". When the HX first came out I thought there was a version that had like a cross hatched "wire" grill-looked good IMO-but lately seems like they all have the Seeburg Jukebox grill. Then again, nice that Seeburg could stay in business building something😎

    Weren't they built in Somerville??
  17. Red Horse
    No clue on the Hydrovac but the truck is a beauty! Only question I have is does it have enough power to turn that big rubber😎. Spokes forever!
  18. Red Horse
    spent some bucks on that ol' F-8. looks like it has hood hinges and latches on rear! About the same interior cab space as a B😎
  19. Red Horse
    What could be better (IMO)- a Louisville with spokes! Where were these right hand Fords built

    Interesting-first post was city of Bridgeport . Next photo New Haven FD. Must have been a state contract- or "monkey see-monkey do". Never knew that dry powder was used in such large quantities on trucks. Went to my share of fire schools and learned just how effective a 20 pd. ansul dry powder could be. we also had plenty of 150 lb wheeled Ansul dry powders in close proximity to loading racks.

    Couple of new LTL's at dealer. These were 350 Cummins, 12 frts, 44 rears. Pulled 11,800 gal tanks that had 50,000 lb susp. Mass (as did RI) had this overweight permit system that did not follow bridge formula. So the tandems on the trailer were set forward. Permits were 99,000 lb on five axles but tolerance allowed gross of 104,000. And no bridge formula so trailer axles were forward making for decent maneuverability when delivering to some of the older stations. Louisvilles were great value.

    Beast-never knew it existed.
  23. Red Horse
    good move!
  24. Red Horse
    Very reasonable assumption. What does that say about VW increasing its stake?
  25. Red Horse
    Old guy here but back in the 60's NHRA required a scatter shield even in the higher stock classes right??
