    Larry - been able to do it that way a few times but have better luck double clutching. Usually don't have a problem getting it out of gear, it is getting into the next gear. I think the linkage is the reason. There is no linkage in conventional trucks.

    Video of a Peterbilt with runaway engine. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3e2_1366330989

    Mike, I think you need to visit your other brother Mike and make a deal on an F.

    If you don't have insurance, you may get away without a plate. I cancelled the insurance on my brother's car (when he passed away) and on my mother's car (when she went to the Home). I was told to send in the plates otherwise I would be subject to a fine - licensed vehicle with no insurance. I am finding PA has some dumb laws. Seems "local government" makes their own rules.

    Double clutching is the only way I can shift my MH. Can't get the hang of shifting without a clutch.

    Mike - not a problem. I saw them when I drove by last week and knew you lived close. They looked in good condition. You don't see many single axle dumps. Look at it this way...you just saved me about $20K. I will buy you breakfast next time for your efforts. Thanks!!

    I was good friends with a Plymouth dealer when I lived in Illinois. The Sales Manager told me a similar story about the Superbird. He had them lined up in a circle around the dealership....almost couldn't give them away. Roll back the clock and I would take the money I spent on a college education and buy as many as I could.

    Nice looking truck. Are the knobs missing from the top 2 rows of the RH panel or are they toggle switches? Hope you get it at a good price.

    Brown is good! Wonder what UPS would think if they saw it? From what little I know about UPS, they rebuild and keep everything to get 500% from everything. I heard some of their package cars are over 40 years old. P.S. If you plan to part it out...give me a call.

    Really like the International tractor and Dodge Daytona pics. Only made the winged Daytona in 1969 (replaced by Plymouth Superbird for 1970). Again, thanks for posting these old pics.

    Mike - Nice bunch of F's.

    It would be helpful to be more specific...make, model, year, location, etc.

    Fleabay?

    Dave, Nice pics. I am guessing that the "kid standing on the ground" next to the Matlack is you.

    Thanks Ron! I hope it will help "tame" those bumps. Likely will not get any mods done this year but maybe next year I can get a "sleeping" area built over the fifth wheel. First I need to install a curbside "walkin" door. Of course an air mattress and sleeping bag will make it a "sleeping" area.

    Just a quick update...check sent to dealer in Phoenix. Once the check clears the bank, ODFL will pickup the trailer and deliver it to Altoona, PA. I should have the trailer by mid-May. Thanks for all the suggestions. P.S. The trailer only has about 55K miles and was used by a "high end" furniture store that went out of business.

    Like the last one - the rebuilt F model with the babe on the front. The only way to improve a Mack is with a good looking babe. Actually I like all the posts....THANKS!

    Would love to hear it run. I hope the driver wears ear plugs.

    Nice work! Keep posting those pics. Very interesting.

    But it has a Cummins engine.

    That is called printing...not DEVELOPING.
  22. farmer52
    Store the images on memory cards and have electronic albums. That is what I do (and I'm an old fart without a new fangled i-phone or whatever these new gizmos are called these days). I seldom print images, only the ones I want to frame or display. How do you develop electronic images? You develop film and print pictures.

    Keep posting...enjoy seeing all the old articles and ads.
  24. farmer52
    $70!!!!! WTF, I thought you have a new fangled electronic gizmo that takes digital pics.

    Vinny, when you get old like me, you will kick yourself for not taking pictures of today's new trucks.
