Urbano = another I forgot. red cabs with gray/black circular logo on door .

you must have a strong retirement union !! a break is usually defined as 10-15 minutes , 1 hr is called office workers LUNCH time < "turn into an hour OR SO !!" sit around gain a pound. I'm 14 lbs over month ago. NOT GOOD. having a gym is helpful. I lost my gym routine at the farm == not allowed to throw hay bales anymore. they are over 40lbs.

I don't think anyone is going to "slap your hand " for being in wrong category !LOL most important idea is to keep progress on the BMT site.

a little bit of work ,BUT the possibility's are endless. without imagination ,willingness to try ; there would be no airplanes (orvill &wilber); phones (mr bell) == you got the idea. GO for it. just keep BMT updated -for positives and set backs.

much as I can't stand these cellphones , would have been good thing to have (or at least a camera) back then to photo the brand new DM 611 SX after the 100ton concrete I beam swung tooo much when being loaded and went through back of cab . what a mess it was.

they are more interested in obtaining info on spy satellites and new phones betcha.

would be interesting to see some pictures of the Blakeslee DM's ; twinscrew/ single axles from the mid 70's. believe they actually went through New Haven Truck Rental . not owned by Blakeslee ,

had to stop at page 10. actually logged off before ; went online to find some Blakeslee DM's = sent me back to B M T , page 10 of 103:: that's a rainy day reading . the sun is shining in CT at the moment, outside I must go LOL

went back a few years and lot of pages to find these pictures

I'm likin the red R-model - western. a Rubber Duck truck for me would be a Mack R-700 western. either RL700L or RS700L . personal preference only. a Superliner excellent choice also. with a superliner might eliminate the legal stuff from someone saying you copied a R model without permission ???

possibly. but I'm sure Joey will get royalty compensation !! 🙃 NOPE

best part of retirement goes with what you stated : glad I don't HAVE to work anymore". going to work (on farm) based on I choose to makes the projects more fun. I take lot of sit down breaks now only due to have no choice when knees let me know it's break time. so a project which should be an hr may take two or more. what can happen ; I'm fired !!LOL

notice lower right corner :: winter 1974,, at this rate . You can have a volume #2 . keep up the pictures /memories. Thanks

another memory maker, along with L G Deflice , I figured Ryan / L G same company different names for insurance etc. L G Deflice yellow/ green units, they had a driver "Barney" .one of the best. could back up the lowbed/ with jeep better then some could drive truck/trailer forwards. Sadly he was on highway (95) came to a toll booth (yes while back) , toll taker refused to let him go saying he was too high = had large off highway Euclid on lowbed. he wasn't too high. climbing up to measure; slipped fell from top hit concrete and died.

not that I remember were there any plugs
