Mark, I have a picture of a 11 yd Rex concrete truck mount on special built 1962 Emeryville we had 15 of these built for Colonial Sand and Stone! The picture is on this site called "My first mixer" but I don't know how to transfer it over!!! I drove that truck for a couple a years, it was a good truck that pulled good and ran fast with a good old 238 Detroit an a 5+4 double over 89,000 with 11 yds 475 gal of water over head and 100 gal in the drumBULLHUSK

I think mine would say 'Keep calm he's only got 2 years and 7 months to go!'

bob, do you know what kind of tractor he was drivin? Could there be an issue with something on the tractor maybe? BULLHUSK

Yes we used to make a left after the gas station and go around some S turns and come out by the fire house, and when you went into there gate you better get it right cause if you went in the neighbors drive you had a fight on your hands and I do mean a fight! I don't miss the drive back BULLHUSK

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT IF CAT GOES BACK INTO THE TRUCK ENGINE BUSINESS THEN THEY SHOULD CLEAN UP ALL THE ACERT STUFF THAT THEY LEFT USE WITH! i STILL HAVE THREE LEFT THAT NO DEALER WANTS ON TRADE UNLESS THEY GIVE YOU NOTHIN FOR THEM! I ALREADY POWER GLIDERED ONE OUT AN THE OTHER 3 ARE ON THE DRAWING BOARD TO BE DONE NEXT YEAR. I AM SORRY I BOUGHT THOSE FARGON ENGINES BUT I LISTENED TO THE CAT SALES GUY TELLIN ME HOW BAD THE DETROIT IS GONNA BE WITH EGR AND HOW MUCH BETTER I WOULD BE WITH CATS TWO STAGE INJECTOR AND TWIN TURBOS WOULD BE, WHAT HE FORGOT TO TELL ME WAS THAT I WOULD BE GRTTIN 2-3 MPG AND THE TURBOS ARE 5 GRAND APIECE!! AND THE TOP END WOUND UP ON THE GROUND AFTER ABOUT 50,000 MI!! BULLHUSK

I used to deliver cement to a concrete plant in that pit I think it was called Apple Concrete. I think it was Springs Fireplace Rd or something like that BULLHUSK

Sounds to me like you need a nice V6-53 Detroit ?? BULLHUSK

INTERESTING! Ya know it gets even better when ya look up what Harry Reid (Who Was broke) has and how he got it! Now most of us would be il jail right now even if we thought about what these people have done and got away with!! BULLHUSK

That would be Dianne Frankenfeinstein as Mark Levin calls her

Does anyone know what her and her husband do for a living? Interesting

My uncle Nick was a dispatcher for them when they were in Secaucus years back! Local 560 when a guy named Jack Sheriaden ran the local, was not a good time BULLHUSK

I saw Nancy Polosi on the news tonight.......... Will someone in DC please take her for shock treatments or have her mentally evaluated?? I am dead serious here!! There is nobody home and the lights are on BULLHUSK

WOW, trip-lease I have not heard that term used in years! When I was a kid my dad did work for a guy in Harrison NJ that my uncle was the disp. for (Spiegel Trucking) They did all of Hartz Mountain's trucking (Trans-Pet) 90% of the work went through a broker @ the Jersey Truck Stop by the name of Tip O'Neil and his daughter. Things got so B/Z back in the day that Izzy the owner bought a Dodge Van and put a guy with a desk and Type wrighter and a check book and did the lease's right at the W-House that they loaded from! But as a kid gust sittin there, I heard and saw things that will forever be branded in my memory (all good) heres a couple, the first time I saw a CB radio was back around 1965? in an O-O's truck with about 5 ant. whips on his tractor, saw an A-C purple engine in a International I think it was? saw my first V-12 in a CO Freightliner and the same guys brother had one with a V-8 turbo Cat that would not stay together! (had a 1693 put in by Cat after the third time) First saw an Automatic in a truck was a Monford Circus Wagon with a load going back west! Also for the first time saw a guy and his wife with a day cab Freightliner V8 71 350 hp Detroit witha big ass body on back witha hitchen an shower an gen set ! This was there home! WOW! but the best was I guess I was about 9 or 10 when this guy was cuttin up this big round pill (4 way cut) and I asked my uncle what kinda candy the guy had?? Thanks for the memories Mark! I'm commin up to the big 60 soon so It's nice to get the old brain stimulated once in a while! Ernie DS BULLHUSK

If I remember the early model gas motor had a expansion tank on top of the radiator an when you shut the truck off the cooler water would run down into the hot motor an crack the head BULLHUSK

Follow the money! I'll bet this crooked POS is on the take some place! The only thing the guy has ever planted was his ass in a chair in DC ya know the one we pay 4 BULLHUSK

Are u sure that wasn't that small Mack Motor I think it was a 465 ci with a TRQ 77? Couldn't pull the skin off a hot dog!! We had one in a MB 400 TRD 77 trans. BULLHUSK

Holy Mack truckaronie when they put that white X on houses out here in the Newark NJ area they wreck em!! Bullhusk

We had some Head gasket prob's when they got older but not a bad engine in a city or small dump truck, they started with trouble when they started puttin em in big 25yd tandem garbage trucks and big dumps! and it wasn't the motors fault just to much for the motor! BULLHUSK

When they forced us to bring 12,000 up to the front axle all the black top started to groove, sometimes on the NJTP you had to fight to get your truck outta the lane! All there base mix had to be redesigned for the single tire weight! Buy they know better now don't they???? BULLHUSK

Boy this has gotta be pissin off the Volvo crew!! BULLHUSK

Paul, I posted a shoot load a pictures of Colonial's older mixers on here some place? But so i've been told by the man himself Mr. Dave (Dave Pascerelli) the guy who had a hand in building that truck, they used a Diamond T or Federal cab and in the front they had there Italian fab. guys hand build the front rad. guard that said 'Colonial Special' across the front then they took the largest Horizontal mxer that Jager had to offer, cut it in half and added a section in the center to haul more concrete (I was told later on down the road Jager took them to court and they had to stop doing that). The rear tandems were wider then the front axle a lot wider! the first one had a small Cummins pony motor to run the mixer! I myself have been looking for this truck right after leaving the Astoria shop back in 1971!! I sometimes feel like Indiana Jones lookin for the lost Colonial Special! But any pictures I look at do not have that grill or the tandems, I just hope someone saved one! On one of my posts it says 'My first Mixer' and it's a picture of my 1962 International Emeryville Cab Over with a 11yd Rex horizontal mixer BULLHUSK

I Love dogs esp. the ones on a Brockway! good luck with Pete BULLHUSK

Coors transport (Coors Beer) had those with the KTA Cummins and the N-400 hp Cummins, does anyone know if they still haul there own beer? I think it was OD or one a the mag. that had a big art about when they never let the beer get warm, cold from the vat to the store even the city trucks had to be ref. BULLHUSK

What I don't get is why the hell nobody has started impeachment and nobody has gone to jail yet? And I'm serious here what the hell is there a free for all goin on over there! Harry Nancy Eric Barry his wife the world traveler (on our dime) and the dumb ass people in this country put him back in!! And you just wait an see Billery Clinton is gonna be our next pres. if she runs!! and the people will eat up all the bullshit that the Dem. party throws at them and they will love it and vote for her! God help Us BULLHUSK
