He would be still alive and kicking if he had not run,fight with the officers.Now let’s move on.Do the police need more training,100%.What I want to know is we have black history month,miss black America beauty pageant,and some other black only events.Now I have nothing against these events,but when can we have the same for white people.We have to stop giving in on everything they want.What’s next,can’t fly the confederate flag,take down various statures.Why don’t someone just make a list of all the things that has to be taken down,done away with and so on so life can resume.

Randy,what are you looking for?I did a google search and came up with lots.

How about a truck dealer,most of the ones I know don’t do that heavy suspension work any more.

I go back to the fact that 1% of black men get killed in this country by a white police officer,but 97% of black men that get killed are by a fellow black man. Here’s the best part of that stat,is that something like 70-80% of blacks killed by blacks know the person that kills them.If I was a black man I find the whitest neighborhood and move in as fast as I could.

Tks.

What’s the difference between the e models?I found a eq,how many were made?How rare is it?What about parts.

Captain Crutch,I finally made out to this bone yard,the gentleman I talked to was just that a complete gentleman.He pointed me in the right direction and said have at it.He had to go out on a job so I didn’t stay that long.Will be back.I’m not into the fire trucks like you but did you ever see the place at rt81 and pa 916,it’s on the right side heading south on 81.

Philadelphia,what can I say other then it’s f up.Our wonderful governor declared back on about March 16 that all non essential businesses will shut down.Then he comes up with his plan to reopen sometime in May.The whole state was in the red zone,to enter the yellow zone the county had to have less than 50 new cases per day for 2 weeks.Ok great the western end of the state started first going to yellow then green.Now we come to Philadelphia,our governor has said that Philadelphia and the surrounding counties will move to the yellow zone.Great you would say, well Philadelphia and surrounding counties have not meet his own requirements to move to yellow.So I must ask why in the hell did he ever shut us down in the first place?As I said earlier Philadelphia is f up. Now let’s move onto the riots,looting.There is a man that owns,I think 5 or so Shop-Rite supermarkets.Now most of them are in poverty area’s of the city.His employees are from the area,and he even hires paroles .I see this as a win win for everyone.Well 2 of his stores were completely destroyed.I ask you where are these good hardworking folks going to work at now,let alone buy groceries.Philadelphia has become a cesspool.Just my 2 cents worth.

There’s a saying back east here about their carpenter skills.If you can’t cut it with a chain saw or bang it with a sledgehammer you don’t want them.I have seen their skills first hand,and believe me they are either some of the best carpenters around or are about the worst.

How about the red or burgundy color on a 79 r model engine?

I had one just the your brown one.They look great.

You should be proud of yourself.It looks absolutely fabulous.Better then new.,your time and effort shows in the quality of the work done.

Beautiful truck,can’t wait to I have my b87 like yours.

Where is it?

Red Horse,both of those models were custom built by a fellow by the name RonKetron out of Indiana.They were built about 25 years ago.All made out of wood.Very nicely done.

I said to my wife I had nothing to do,she handed me a bottle of windex and a roll of paper towels and said follow me.Down the basement we go she turns and says start dusting.I started with the 2 shelves with the small ones,next will be the case with the Mack trucks,then the case with the Caterpillars,then the cranes they will be a bitch,last will be the rest of the Cats.I think I will keep my big mouth shut next time and just go out in my shop.

Did miss something,I didn’t hear it rev up? What year is the CL,I had a 98 with the e9 pulled my lowboy.We had the pump turn all the way up and it did smoke like a loaded fright train coming down the tracks.I sold it to a fellow in no,he had to get rid of it just for what you talked about the smoking.

Eriksf250,are you looking for a junk r model,if so I am trying to buy the hoods off of 2 from a scrapyard here in Philadelphia.Will check on the dash panels when I get back down there.

Tim,by the looks of your photos it’s been a change for the better.Hope all stays well,keep the great photos coming.

Great pictures Tim.If you don’t mind me asking what took you from NH to NZ?

Is that old building in Seneca Rocks the one on 33?I’m always amazed at what you find on the backroads in the country.Would rather travel the off the beaten path anytime.Great pictures always enjoy them.

Miss type,b42.

Da cut,we had over 150 trucks running on that job every day.Had to buy those trucks cause the jersey independent truckers tried to hold dad hostage for more money,after we started the job and they agreed on the price per ton going into the job.You can stop in any time and see my trucks,I have them in our old shop,it in Philadelphia.Here a few pictures of them.

No sweeter sound then a Mack V8.Had a few in my day the last was in a 98 CL700,one of the last mechanical ones Mack built.Had that pump turn all the way up,pulled like a bitch and smoke like a locomotive.
