As per other shows, all the BMT members meet at the Watts tent at high noon. That is if Barry is having a tent.

Yes I agree! I plan to attend with my MH. Let's see how many Macks and BMT members we can get there.

My guess is it is a pusher and the engine is in the rear.

If only they were closer to PA.

I plan to be there early Saturday morning. Barry where is the show location (I know it is not at the store)?

I like it!!

I think the R models (and Superliners) were the best looking Macks of all time. Of course the MH is a close second! There is a R model dump that goes by the farm almost every day. The next time I "hear" it coming I will try to get a pic.

Great pic. Thanks for posting. Gotta love it! At least one of everything, even a U model in front for our Vinny

Only Vinny would notice the other people!

Saw this listing in VA... http://www.tractorsh...query=retrieval

In his pocket?

Or playing klablwowie!

Vinny, wait until you get older then you will understand. Actually if I was that boy I would rest my head on the right. But he needs to be careful, the left one could break free and smack him in the face.

I like the yellow one. I may have to inquire about it. Not sure if I can drive a truck with a hood.

But you know they are both not the same size in real life. How do I know? Years of "hands on research"!

I still plan to be there on the 18th.

Cars, trucks, tractors, and females (not necessarily in that order). Is there anything else?

Thanks Doug for posting the vid from Macungie. Seems like you are always around when videographers and attractive ladies show-up. You are a babe magnet! Don is getting a lot of face time too! Keep up the good work guys!

My all time favorite year and make is 1970 MOPAR - Plymouth and Dodge (Cuda, Cuda AAR, GTX, Road Runner, Superbird, Challenger RT, Challenger TA, R/T, and Super Bee). Favorite engnes - 440+6, HEMI, 340+6. Of course transmission would be 4-speed with pistol grip Hurst shifter. I HAVE owned a 1970 RR 383, 1970 Superbird 440+6, 1970 Cuda 383 Convertible, 1973 Duster 340, 1973 Cuda 340, 1974 Road Runner GTX 440-4, and several others. I never owned a 426 HEMI car. Wish I still had the 1970 cars. Of course the ladies during that time were choice too - mini skirts, hot pants, hose, and boots (and NO tattoos or body piercings). I don't think the braless look was until a few years later.

UPDATE: My friend's reply: Matlack DID NOT have U-models. There was a leased operator (Meyers) that had the U-models, painted the same color so it would be hard to tell them from the company trucks. They were mostly 711 engines, one with a Cat engine. Matlack did have a lot of R & F models with the V8 Mack engine. I rebuilt a lot of them when I was in the Machine shop. I also rebuilt the fuel pumps for the V8 engine. They didn't last over 300,000 miles. Hope this helps.

And we all thought Doug had the answers. Dr. RandyP is in and open for questions!

Vinny - looks good! At this rate, you may have it ready for Gerhart's.

A good friend of mine used to work in the shop at Matlack. I sent him an email asking for information (and pics if possible).

Mark, I heard the doors from a KW would fit on the G. Mark - I heard someone say the doors from the KW would fit the G.

And don't forget MH! shezaus - welcome to BMT.
