  1. That hood on the mack wrecker looks like a modified Dodge fibreglass unit!
  2. Yarnall I bet a machine shop could create a set of king pins much cheaper from round stock.
  3. Anchor Motor Freight ran a few of those chevys as car haulers.Anyone remember the Chevy pickups with coil springs in back?
  4. LSharp "horse", is the visor a Chevy option? Looks like it's held on by the windshield rubber.

  6. What a beautiful beast! When I was in grade school they used to haul steel beams in a half cab chain drive Mack, you could hear them coming a half mile away!
  7. Doesn't do the Diamond T image much good making it resemble an S model "binder!
  8. There is a p.o.s. named Jonchuk,who threw his five year old daughter off a bridge into Tampa bay a couple years ago to her death a local deputy witnessed it, he's finally being "tried" he will probably get life,due to his "mental illness" on our nickel....or 15 years of appeals if he gets the death penalty! When most of us were children and young adults you never heard of anyone raping a baby w.t.f. has gone wrong?
  9. The legendary White 3000, ya gotta feel for the guys that drove those!
  10. I always preferred the "big boy" burger they sold at Eat'n Park restaurant to the big Mac they had a lot of locations in the Pittsburgh area.
  11. Carlot,I didn't hear about the incident, but it sounds like mediaspeak, like their insistence in calling road tractors "cabs" and cutting torches "blowtorches!"
  12. Ksb, I stand corrected! as I see many cars to date without DRLs it make sense they aren't required equipment!
  13. H 67, the "rust belt" was hard on steel cabs, that sure is a pretty F though!
  14. I sure do remember M&G, they hauled Chrysler products when I was hauling Ford's and Complete was hauling GM!
  15. Got another,U.S. Steel Homestead! Hauled a few coils out of there for Ridiculous McNickolous! The site has a bunch of Yuppie restaurants and a business park! The largest Bessemer converter in the world!
  16. All Mack too with the gold pup! I loved F models! Hope you're feeling better! If I had a doller for every time I tarped a load of insulation, I could buy a new set of tarps! Did I tell you guys about the single coil took to Columbus Oh? If I did I won't repeat it! Interesting view on tarping!
  17. Had a 55 Desoto two door hardtop with the little Hemi and torqueflite! The shifter stuck out of the dash.
  18. Or a one banger John Deere! The whole idea of a driverless farm tractor disturbs me!
  19. Gray hair, there is a guy down here near Brooksville Florida has an original VW with a motorcycle front fork,removed the windshield and cowl, sits on what may be the original seat and steers with the bike handlebars! There is another dude with about an 18 ft wooden rowboat sitting on a car chassis! Where the outboard motor would bolt to the transom he has a full size cartoon alligator(like Al Gator from "Pogo"!)lol! There must be something in the air!
  20. Tragic how all those UPS Diamond Ts and Reos got scrapped they were so well maintained! My cousins buddy had one of those Diamond T cabovers anyone remember Bill Sheffer out of Breezewood Pa? Ran Diamond Ts was a columnist for Overdrive also.
  21. I've been having trouble with my tablet lately some posts will go away before I can submit them! Hat you sure have a cute girlfriend!
  22. I've always liked the "Texas Peterbilts" we're brutal, like the FWDs
  23. I may still have Dennisons Ice Road, we were flooded in 2012 during tropical storm Debbie and I lost a lot of books really lamented losing a hardcover 1968 motors manual!
