Hippy how many trucks did they get at the Deering show?

Massachusetts does not have gvw on antique registrations truck or not.  They are in the same class as RV. When I get an inspection  sticker I am charged the auto rate not the commercial truck rate. This is all done thru the state RMV computer system.  

On another topic you can pull a trailer over 10k as long as the towing vehicle and trailer gvw does not exceed a total of 26k. This is actually written on the back of my CDL license. So a 12k gvw f350 can pull a 14k trailer and be non CDL. Just don't hook up to an f450.

I've git antique plates on the Acar, R model  and my 57 IH those are insured by Hagerty for $430 a year total.

The B model pickup is insured through Grundy full insurance ("classic car") about $150 a year and they did not require me to use antique plates. I can drive that one any time I want. I guess they figure it's a low exposure situation

I forgot to mention the purple people eater Alis Chalmers engine was there! I've always wanted to see that engine, I grew up around Allis Chalmers tractors and used several gleaner combines and always liked the engines on them. 

Big purple was parked behind our trucks and where we had our chairs set up. It was interesting to see it right up til the dingus who brought it fired it up every 15 minutes and went wide open over and over with the exhaust pointing straight at us. Then he would do the same thing withe the detroit in his pickup.  I guess he wanted to be the local mosquito control.

what are you thinking time wise driving to get there?  I'm closer in CT figuring 3 1/2 hr ride . 

Usually 5 to 6 hour run 

Now that's something you don't see every day 

I'd just look at the truck from the side and look away when in front of the truck

There were 3 more there yesterday 

My 67R600 had 22" rubber tube type. My tire guy got me 24.5 wheels no problem when I changed to tubeless. Might need different spacers in the rear though.

On a side note if anyone close to Boston area needs 22s I  have the old tires still mounted that are available cheap. Really nice steers rears 3 out of 4 very good.

Happy Birthday Bob!

That's going to make a huge ducking sound when it gets pulled out

We don’t have any state tax, but Reno and Las Vegas stick it  to you any way else they can most other small towns do not charge anywhere near as much for gasoline 

I saw 4.59 gallon  Las Vegas Blvd yesterday.  Good thing the rental car won't use much
