1958 F.W.D.

AKA "Red Square."

Correct. And the tow operator apparently thought "oh, ok....shaft not connected to the transmission, I'm ok...." Hooked on, went down the road and physics did the rest.

Not a lot to report this week. I do not have any pictures of women in cars or anything perverted errrrr ahhhh I mean interesting like that. I do have the following however: I saw EXTRA SMALL double fisting a bottle (of milk, you degenerates!!) and a cucumber. She loves peeled cucumber. Took SMALL to a parade yesterday on board one of the volly engines. I was driving. When we were stopped at one point, some people in the crowd were laughing and pointing, I turned around and saw this. Little man can't hang. I saw this oil stain in front of my garage. I wonder what was parked here? I saw these two young ladies who offered to help hold down the back of the FWD.....I was hesitant at first because I was afraid they would scratch the paint but they promised to be careful, so despite my better judgement, I let them help me. These young ladies must think that the FWD has some kind of anti-gravity device because another one offered to help hold it down. I hope those heels don't scratch my diamondplate, I would be pissed. And finally I saw this 1949 Ward Lafrance Pumper.

That's it. That's the end. No parts for anyone, anytime, anyhow, anyway. Once something enters that lot, it will never, ever be seen again.

Unfortunately it has been totaled. Estimate to repair: $40,000 +/- Approximate value: $10,000

I am getting tired of seeing girls in cars. Show a girl in a jeep......Oh......wait......nevermind.

No, it is not possible. As stated, there is always a witness from UPS on hand to witness the destruction, plus the scrap companies have to sign extremely air-tight contracts forbidding them from even the mere thought of parting out......**OR ELSE**

This has been standard operating procedure for UPS for years. There are only two ex-UPS rigs that exist that I know of- both owned by the Mack Museum- a CNG CH in the museum itself and an F-Model daycab which is on loan to the America on Wheels Museum in Allentown, Pa.

Did you read the fine print where it says that is only valid on leap day?

Oh, by the way.....you are required to obtain a permit to enter the Philly area, has to be signed by myself or 39babymack at the diner of our choosing.........

I was a Civilian Firefighter at the US Navy FD at the Phila Naval Shipyard FD a ways back when I was young and when that yard was FULL of inactive ships in the mothball fleet. Not too long after the PNSY shut down (after they finished up the overhaul of the carrier USS John F Kennedy) the Fire Dept was downsized and I was sent down to the Aberdeen Proving Ground FD. I used to love working at the PNSY FD and still go down there once in a while to visit the guys. You can't see it in the pics, but the USS JFK (which is now inactive) is tied up at Pier 3 over on the Delaware River. The Bridge that you cross when on I-95 is actually going over the Schuykill River about 500 yards north of where the Schuykill meets the Delaware River. We used to have a small fireboat which I was qualified to pilot, and I knew all those waters like the back of my hand. Was fun times back then.

This morning.....overturned car E/B MM 63.5

I am a member of a VFD that covers portions of I78 between Allentown and 33. And we are up on that godforsaken piece of road at least 3-4x per week on wrecks, and have to extricate (use the jaws of life) no less than 2-3x per month.

Hey.....How did you get my sweatshirt, OD????

Where was that asshole Yardo at????

You'll have to go into Bethlehem or Allentown for that.

Remember our discussion about Medium and bar fights a while back? Here he says "YOU SHOULD SEE THE OTHER GUYS!" He got into it with four bikers defending the honor of a pretty girl.

No, the wife is working so I will have to stay at home and commute.

If you are having issues with your primer, you really should bite the bullet and rebuild it while its out. Contact Waterous and get a rebuild kit for it. Also, if you are interested, if you plan on drafting a lot, look into converting it over to a Trident Air Primer. What a world of difference.

Maddog, for what it's worth, my wife enjoys going to the TK, and is OK with taking the kids there (they even have a kids menu.) It's not like the Nuns are stripping or anything. Friday night is the ATCA "Family Reunion" picnic, which you have to RSVP for- but I think that is now closed. Saturday night myself and a few Sterling Truck friends get together at the Fogelsville Inn- maybe that's what you were thinking?

Gotcha in on the count already

No, Friday night is the picnic.

Just a reminder (as if you needed it) that next week, June 17-18 is the ATCA's Annual Father's Day Weekend Truck Show in Macungie, Pa. I'm sure that Doug Maney is busy with both the Show and preparing the Museum for visitors, and may or may not have time to get on here. Is anyone that is coming going to be in the area on THURSDAY? If so you are cordially invited to dinner at the Tilted Kilt in Allentown (Lehigh Street, near the Museum.) You are responsible for your tab. If you are on Facebook, respond to Doug's post, or you can respond here....Just to give them a rough headcount. We usually meet up around 6 or 7 and go until someone passes out, throws up or starts a bar fight, whichever comes first.

Those damn photochoppage wimmin, they're like gnats.....can't get rid of them

Firebuster, please dont take this the wrong way. I was just told that you have bitzkrieged just about every known Mack forum in the known universe over the past few months. The two best guys do not know where it is, therefore it has probably been scrapped. Hate to burst your bubble but it is what it is.
