Send a note to Barry at Watt's with your VIN and he may be able to help.

It's too early to voice my politically "incorrect" opinion.

Happy Birthday Fred!

It might have been Union 76 but I think it is Pilot now. Post House sits on the hill on the south side of 30 just east of 70. Can't remember where TA is located. This is the only pic I could find.

Get someone to document the information for you. Would be a great book and include a bunch of pics.

Neat video. I like it.

Thanks!!

Happy Birthday!

Mike - been thru your town several times. For 7 or 8 years the wifey and I stayed at a B&B in Stoughstown. Got off the PA greenstamp at Blue Mtn exit and went cross country (Newburg and Oakville) to the B&B. BTW, my brother-out-law used to live between Green Spring and Newville.

As a kid living in south central PA, I remember a few real truck stops. One was on the west side of Duncansville at the foot of Cresson mountain, one at the top of Cresson mountain (Cresson Ridge Truck Stop if I remember correctly), and Peggy's Diner (not really a truck stop but a restaurant) just south of Claysburg. Peggy's Diner is still in business today at the same location. The others have closed. Wish I had a camera then and took lots of pictures. The Post House (Greyhound bus station) in Breezywood was a neat place (closed too). Of course Breezywood itself was a neat place "back in the day". Routes 22, 30, and 220 were the major highways. Love seeing pics of old truck stops, trucks, and restaurants/businesses. You could always tell where there was good food....lots of trucks in the parking lot. Keep posting those old pics!

Very few if any C bodies were made with a manual tranny. Maybe the only model was the Sport Fury.

I think like that 24/7. Perhaps I should wait till later and be more "politically correct".

The B had the "stepped" muffler (small diameter outlet pipe - upper pic). The A used a large diameter muffler (large the whole length - lower pic). And I believe the air stack was larger on the A.

Maybe Larry now has a collection...

Speaking of waitresses....that is the subject....right? Seems most waitresses these days are "less than attractive mature or young" females or girls with tattoos and nose, lip, or eyebrow rings. And they all wear black tops and pants. Oh, never mind my comment about wearing black. Considering how they look...black may be best. Then there are the male waiters...tattoos and piercings too. I am very tempted at times to "refuse" service from these "freeks". Just sayin'. Bring back the 70s when women (and guys) took pride in how they dressed and looked. Long live mini-skirts and hot pants. The person who invented stretch pants in "plus" sizes should be "shot". Okay, I feel better now! Hmmm, wonder how many I PO'd with this post rant?

Nice looking Fury. If it had a 440 and 727...I might be interested. I like the Power Wagon in the background.

I thought the car and truck on the poles looked familiar....actually between C'burg and Shippensburg.

Larry, Did you go to the auction today? What was the final bid?

Dang...out of likes but I do like these.

Yes, thanks again to EPA. Paint additive is one of the reasons CAT changed from bright yellow to dull yellow. BTW, do you know how much ground pollution comes from new asphalt or tar/gravel pavement runoff? We put used oil on dirt roads to prevent dust (township/state sprayed oil too).

As always, nice pics. Thanks for posting!

That is what I want to do...buy a pup trailer, put living quarters over the fifth wheel, and haul a tractor, bike, etc. in the back. I know of two (2) pups in Arizona that are for sale.

Any pics?

I was referring to the automotive industry. Trucks seem to have an endless array of colors and color schemes. Probably more so today than in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. I just wish the automotive industry would offer the more choices. Afterall, a new car/truck is in the $50K range. I should have the freedom to choose both exterior and interior color and options. Trucks OEs are getting less fexible in the "hardware" side.

Happy Birthday Hat!
