Thanks Barry!

I was getting them on my computer, coming up from the bottom of the screen last week. So far this morning & tonight I haven't had any.

We have outside carriers come to our service center to drop off refused freight from grocery warehouses on a regular basis. They drop the product off to us to be returned to the shipper. This is not an exaggeration... 9 out of 10 of the OTR drivers are not American born. Of the 9 that are not 7 of those 9 have so little comprehension of the English language that they either have an interpreter app on their phone or have to call their company to have someone who speaks English speak to us.

GA Dave...  YOU WIN THE INTERNET tonight with that comment!

According to the information that Dan Bruno had years back when he was building his RD replica (technically became the restoration of one the actual movie RD700's) & researching the movie the Mack Cruiseliner was sold and then totaled in a severe jack-knife crash in California. I still haven't read his book even though it is setting next to me on my desk now to see if that info is in the book.

Old Age & Senility...  I wish I still had that calendar. IMO the best paint scheme ever.

Look up Mike Harbison (Jr) on FB.  Mikey was organizing his dad's collection after Mike got sick the 1st time around and long before he passed.  I know that he has some C's out there & I'm sure that he has the items you need in a parts bin/box someplace.

Happy Birthday Barry!

This is a picture that I took of the R&H Raider at ATHS Convention in Auburn, IN years back.

To me all three wreckers look like Weld Built units originally manufactured for any one of the litany of municipal users in the NYC boroughs. They all have that same look and come up sale quite often.

 

That DM definitely looks FDNY. I noticed that one right off.  Michael Martinelli probably has a picture of it as FDNY & the SN#!

This is an especially irritating topic to me. Back in the day, as I was working as a Federal Firefighter, I was trying desperately to get hired onto the Philadelphia Fire Department. Even bought a house in the city to have the necessary residency. But I was a white/male/non-veteran and because there was still a minority hiring clause in place errrrrrrr excuse me, "The Preferred Demographic" I was screwed. I took that fire test three times. Studied my ass off every time. The last time I made #480 on the list but they were reaching into the 5000s, 6000s, 7000s (to get enough of the preferred demographic that had drivers licenses, no criminal history, and could pass a drug test) to get enough candidates to form recruit classes. 

Affirmative Action.  That's what it was called in the late 70's until the end of the century in Indiana. I was a county volunteer in the late 80's & early 90's. My cousin was a city FD district chief (Now called Battalion Chief). I rode out of his house a few times with him & on the Engine, I wanted to get on but basically I was the wrong sex, color, etc. Norm couldn't even get his own son on and he would have been 3rd generation because of AA.  Today every FD & PD in the state is looking for recruits to fill classes and increasing pay to try to lure laterals from other departments.

Originally a Halliburton truck.  There was one near Garrett, IN many years ago, only a mile & a quarter from the Auburn ATHS convention. I tried to buy it but they had no interest in selling it then one day a few years later it was just gone.  I have a lot of pictures of it in a box someplace.

Late model's, Modifieds, Crown Vic's, Mini stocks. The usual Saturday night/regional type shows.  The Crown Vic's or Panthers have become EXTREMELY popular in the past couple years because of all the ex-cop cars & taxi's out there that could be bought for cheap. There was something like 50+ that requested to run on Thursday night so they went to a back up plan and made it invitational and only invited 16 to race.

Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola is a 1/2 mile asphalt circle track.  It's home to The Snowball Derby which is the largest short track race of the year in the U.S.

Happy Thanksgiving to all y'all.  May it be a safe & blessed weekend.

If you are on Facebook look up Mike Harbison. His dad amassed a huge collection of Mack trucks, a lot of B's during his life.  He just might have what you are looking for.  I don't think he is parting anything out but they had a massive collection of parts as well.

that map pisses me off !!   that would be the only way FEMA and our Gov. would have have a measly few million to use to help them.  How about all the small FEMA houses like the ones they had for Katrina..  Arent those still in stock?
