My uncle had three of of the PD3751 silver side buses . they were said to be the last three Greyhound operated. They stopped at my Grandmother 's house for supper on there way back from picking them up. The logos were off but they were still blue,and quite a sight the three of them lined up on are little street. It must have been around 60,61 . I got to ride them a few times and to a 7th grader they were huge ,but oh so comfortable .

The question remains what do they need the full auto weapons for ,do they think they are Eliot Ness and they are going after Al Capone .And why the four silencers ? Is that so we can't hear them shot use in the back.

Boy I sure wish I was old enough with deep pockets back in the 50" The NO and Diamond t's and let us not skip the Kenworth wreckers and the big Ward Lafrance wrecker That I would have loved to buy All the heavy towing companies were buying surplus ,House movers used Diamond T tank transporter, and some of those old wreckers worked up into the eighties if not later.

Mack Anthem Veteran Truck

I under stand that 2019 will be the last year for rolling thunder here in Dc ,the Pentagon would only let about half into the parking lot this past year ,and that there is some contrived problem with the lefty's in DC about there permit. -
maybe you should get the coveralls and get under neath it and see ,because if it is a splayed frame and you have two or more feet of good frame you can cut it off and go new double frame back from there. Besides 45 min ride is nothing ,unless you are walking a crane home

She should have hit him again and rehearsed "He is trying to rape me "
-
no he looked more like a sixties hold over who would have to beg to get a stink finger,only he was in his 40's I would guess. Now if it was a good french copper fry pan she could have done some real damage ,they weigh as much as cast iron.

I have been thinking about getting one of those urban assault canes (or should I say urban defense canes), cold steel sells , a little practice and I would be good to go . Gota work on the get a way though and I will have to practice my screaming "he is trying to rob me" while I beat him like a rented mule.

That is probably true . But I had to pay for what I had in the cart and leave the store ,I was begining to shake

Last night while shopping for supper I saw a smug looking guy with a resist hat on and had an over whelming desire to speak to the guy with the end of a steel ended tire knocker . Being a 71 yr old with a bad heart and COPD I could have only gotten about two or three good licks in before I would have been layed out on the floor near him . Not much of a get away. So I went home instead.

A company that used to haul bread from thomas to up state NY had two cl with 8V92's they were purchased to run 40" doubles on the NY thru ways pedaling bread I think i even remember a calendar with 40' triples hooked up .the company had run Macks for ever and did continue . Side note they also used to haul coffee and whiskey out of NYC and used to get a truck a month hijacked , used to take the driver's license and give him cab fare home a couple days later the truck would be found undamaged on a back street ,today the driver would be in a coma and the truck burned some place . things have changed in 50 years.

DMM Track Mack

I wonder how long the front ends last with those big boots on there? Do you think there duels on the front or just one big float? -
Last wed I saw a whole lot of brand new red Volvo with new unlettered tank trailers I think they are Sheetz .Must have been 20-25 of them
-
I was going to ask if the early fords had Trado conversions or if they were ford .I also remember see HIHO concrete in Danbury ct with the belt drive dead axle on IH 's trailer dumps back in mid 50's.There batch plant was at the Danbury rail yard at the big old wood frame coal depot .Used to watch the NYC trains change from EP3 electric (they were monsters they didn't make very much noise but shook the ground) the to diesel Alco's. (they were stream line PA1's)
