Now that’s something you don’t see every day @jdazimuth. Any idea on the story behind the photo?

Beautiful setup for sure. What’s the back story @storkmack?

Lettering changed on the bug deflector on the first truck.

Thank you @yarnall for the sighting report. I didn’t make it to Macungie this year….

I haven’t heard anything @BOBWhite I went back through my photos and he was at Gerhart’s in October of 2021 FWIW. He also is on a tractor forum that I frequent, but he hasn’t posted there since January 2022. Hopefully he’s just busy with other things…

The FBM one looks very similar to the MH @farmer52 has. Perhaps it is a former Martin’s truck too…

That’s awesome @Nickgsxrmack that you have those photos! Thank you for sharing them. Always neat when someone can add to the history of a posted truck.

Welcome to BMT @Nickgsxrmack Unfortunately it doesn’t appear that @1693MackGuy has been around in a couple of years. Maybe your post will stir him up.

Welcome to BMT and thank you for posting the photos. She’s a sharp looking truck @well drill . Your high school paint job probably protected it well. I can’t speak to value or rarity, others much more knowledgeable than me will chime in on that. However, having something from your Dad that you have personal history with is priceless! Unless you have a dozen more tucked in a warehouse someplace it’s one of a kind. Dave

The Petillo fleet looks amazing @67RModel Neat to see the two CL dumps are consecutive serial numbers.

Great photos and story @Bullheaded Have a few questions. What is the application of the hopper trailers? Do they unload into a stacker of some sort? Also, what is at the rear of the trailer, some sort of loading system? Thank you for posting. Dave

Happy 4th of July everyone! Anyone run their trucks in July 4th parades? I always enjoy seeing the Radnor Fire Company B Model that @Firemack lead the restoration of in local parades. Dave

My Dad’s theory was that everything he got rid of made whatever was left more valuable…. Enjoying the build @1961H67 . Thank you for taking us along for the ride! Dave

Welcome to BMT @Truckie Harbison I never met Mike but always enjoyed his posts. Looking forward to to seeing more about you and you son’s Bulldog Rescues. Dave

Welcome to BMT @jp 69 Sounds like you have big plans. Unfortunately I’m just a spectator in the antique truck world so I can’t help with your questions, but others like @1958 F.W.D. are a wealth of knowledge. We love photos of everyone’s projects. Post up a few when you have a chance. Dave

Welcome to BMT @limberlost. Truck looks solid. Do you know her history? I wonder if @GA_Dave has photos in his database… Dave

Happy belated @navypoppop! Hope you had a great day! DavCut

What’s hiding behind and above the A30 @yarnall? Any photos @joedontknow?

Looks as if the owner is getting them decorated for “Christmas in July” a bit early. 😎

As the Toby Keith song says: "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was." I'm heading towards 51 this year. Biggest thing I've noticed is my eyesight. I've worn contacts for distance for decades, but now I have to have cheaters to see the details on plans, notes, etc. Drives me crazy in the garage as I don't keep a set out there and don't think to bring them out with me... My Dad went to aerobics and zumba with my Mom for years. He swore that was kept him going. Was a big reason that we got to have him with us for 18 years after he had quintuple bypass in 2000. I need to get back into the gym routine so that I can do the same (less the bypass hopefully)!

Glad to hear that @JoeH. Hope that she provides years of profitable service to you!

At the risk of bringing up a sore subject @JoeH were you able to get the paperwork straight with PennDOT?

Hopefully we didn’t scare you away @hurstscrambler asking about your progress. Hope all is well with you.

Thank you for bringing this thread back to the top @james j neiweem. I don’t think that I had seen it before. Like many I have always enjoyed @kscarbel’s posts on the site, along with everyone else’s. Thank you all for your contributions! Dave

Unfortunately I’m of no help with a door, but looking forward to seeing more about your project @Hendrickson Fire. How about you @Firemack? Any leads on a L85 door?
