The town of Springfield had a similar one in the mid seventies. I never knew what the engines were.

No I don't, but I'll keep my eyes open for some.

Good Lord, that Fuller girl had some serious bell bottoms. I started getting Overdrive in the early seventies, still in Junior High. My father had to inspect it first to make sure it was 'safe' for me look at.

I've been twice, we sayed at a motel in Gilbertsville. Visited the Boyertown Museum. If you've never been to Zerns....... well its kind of hard to describe. I was surprised to hear people from Pa say 'youze', I thought that was a NYC thing.

I didn't know that. I've always put my phone number in C/L ads.

Funny story about that tractor. I was moving trailers around, I was 15 or 16. I went to go out of the yard up to another lot and stalled it, it had a five speed. I caught it with the clutch and then black smoke was billowing from the air cleaner. WTH! I pulled the fuel shut off and after a minute I started it up. I told one of the mechanics what happened, he said I had the engine running backwards!

Here's one that will test his mettle. This is how the U model in my avitar met its end.

A few things about the ad. The seller gives the year as 1953, based on the serial number being 1953? Pirsch used that sheet metal for alot of years so it could be the coincidence of the century. The engine being a 5.3 they are using part of the engine size off the tag. Is that is the bore & stroke ? I wonder which Salem it came from ? Salem N.Y. is alot closer than Salem Mass.

My pickup is not a Dodge, but the trailer is. Someone took a 1950 Dodge pickup and made it into a trailer. They bent the frame rails together and attached the tongue. It still has the axles and pumpkin, the yoke spins as you drive down the road. You can hit the steel with a hammer and it won't even leave a mark. I figure with both bodies heaped full I'm hauling 1/2 a cord.

I showed my friend the picture of farmer52s' Dodge. His appears to be identical except it's 4WD. We'd like to see more of farmers' if he has any.

I have the same issue. Gray background, black thread titles, and white forum member name and date. I would post a screen shot if I knew how.

I was wondering if there is a way to jump from one forum to another, without having to go back to the home page.

I believe one of their trailers is just outside of Cambridge, N.Y. on Rt. 313, A.K.A. The Milk Highway.

That Tug Hill movie is neat. I watch part of it almost every day.

Yes, that was the name of the company. They also had a U model that's in my avitar pic. U685T-9351. It was wrecked around 1980. Also one MB, MB611T-1971. In the mid seventies they got an H-67. It was red with black fenders, single axle with a tag. Seems that it came from the Agawam Mass. area. I got to ride in it once when I was a kid. It got sold before it ever got painted the company color.

How many N models are there around now? I don't think I've ever seen one at a truck show or in a junk yard. Overall, not just fire engines.

Don't blame me, I voted for the American. Both times.

y'all ??????

These belonged to my former employer that went belly up in 1992.

The company was in No. Springfield, Vt. They had already been sold at the end, when the trucks were auctioned off. I know its' a long shot but I've had good luck at finding other trucks.

Nice looking rig. I'd like to hear more about it.
