Was just looking for pictures of old Mack military trucks for someone I know, and I stumbled upon an post about some yard trucks out in Taos Mesa, New Mexico, and glance at that rare little W model with that interesting looking sleeper. Figured I’d share! Link to the post for the curious:https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/cc-outtakes/curbside-outtakes-more-working-trucks-from-new-mexico/

I haven’t, a little too far away to take a trip during COVID, but someone has gone for me and sent back pictures. I just don’t want to anger the new owner by posting them without his permission or anything. It’s in rough shape but from what I’ve heard it miraculously still putts around his land every now and then...

I thought I had seen this one before, sure enough, Gerharts this year was the place. Don’t know what else to add outside of what’s already been said...

Trying to get some old company members involved but right now the current owner doesn’t seem willing to sell. That’s alright really, supposedly the thing even still runs and he puts it around his property sometimes. Guy owns a lot of trucks, it’s in alright hands. Still going to try to get her eventually, but for now just knowing she’s still out there and in safe hands is good enough for me.

We’re trying to troubleshoot an issue with the headlights on the old firetruck, only to find that the buckets are pretty rusted out. Could use some of the headlight cables too, the ones that run through the fender and up to the bucket. I can get pics of the buckets and wires if need be.

I’m good with that, anything to share such an amazing event with those who couldn’t make it for one reason or another!

I’ve got a few more individual and other manufacturer pics... I might get this whole album uploaded some day 😂

Should’ve come down a ways and parked with the rest of the CFs, we even had an open spot for you! Although I suppose yours might feel a little strange seeing as it’s not a firetruck anymore...

What more do I need to say? Gerhart’s 2020!

Hoping to make it up that way tonight with the CF and be there all day tomorrow!

Well folks, I almost can’t believe I’m saying this, but the truck has truly been found! I hope to speak more on it in the future but right now I’m so thankful it’s still around!

Hagerstown regional, at the old Fairchild plant now turned museum.

I swung you an email, I’m all ears...

The local airport wanted to have a Wings and Wheels expo where people could bring their cool cars and maybe right in some antique airplanes. So what else would I do than take the old dog for a walk! And apparently I wasn’t the only one with that idea...

Yup, George certainly narrated the show, seems like someone went through the trouble of picking out the best moments for you! Just keep in mind Carlin had quite an interesting sense of humor and your kids may not be ready to hear his inside quite yet...
