Museums are a labor of love. I have the VA tractor museum on my list of stops (someday?) because the photos of tractors and trucks is pretty mind blowing. The owners have made some excellent selections to spend their money.

Guerrera was putting together a superb collection before his passing. No doubt in my mind it would have been always kept up but would have required continued cash infusion from him. That was his passion so it was going to happen.

I can barely keep my stuff together and you can count it on one hand. Can't imagine the money and hours keeping 20,30 40, 50 etc of trucks, tractor, machines up and running and looking good for display or shows.

See them every so often on ebay.

Maybe Iowa 80 truck stop has them new?

The Diamond T rack body truck had been at Guerrera's Golden Age of Trucking museum before it disbanded. The Diamond T had been purchased by Guerrera from someone in the midwest back in the late 1990's.

Harry M (Jevic/New Cent.) sold his green single axle B model and a curtain side hobby truck hauling trailer to George Tackaberry in Canada.

Looks Great!

There sure have been some design changes to packer bodies since the little one was in action. It is amazing you had one to restore because so many rusted out or vanished when scrap prices went through the roof a few years ago.

In the picture it looks pretty straight so it could be $100-125.

Haven't seen too many for sale out there lately. Also, haven't heard of too many people screaming to get one.

There was a company that was pulling Heil pneumatic bulks for plastic pellets that was sold on (suckered into) a single drive axle and dummy second axle both on air. Second axle did NOT lift. After the first snow storm, the truck was in the shop and had a lift installed. It survived the winter barely. That spring, it was on two drive axles.

I sort of think a non steer, lift pusher on a single drive 2nd axle would be better.

Speaking of females...what happened Eastcoastdiesel Katie? Did we scare her away?

Says she was logged on a couple of days ago for a visit.

Plus, we aren't that nasty to scare her away...?

That is an accessory grille guard for Mack E model, for example. I suppose it could have been used on an Mack A model also.

I like that!

The word of the day is legs.

Spread the word.

Excellent pic!

Wise man your father.

Hmmm, but a little twisted to see what would happen and not say anything.

Yup, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree!

I agree with Honda gens. being pretty quiet. If you did go with the generator and make it work with some quick diconnects. Then you could use it for other projects when not in use with the mobile pole dancing studio.....ooops, pup trailer.

That is Daisy Duke's cousin Bouncin' Betty.

Must have been to Meadowood then.

Plenty of Mack powered fire trucks with automatics.

Have a happy Happy!

The exhaust tip is just the right height for messing with people in Honda's and Toyota's.

I thought that was their party mascot?

Nah, Ken is eating plenty "Martian" Potato Rolls to calm his nerves.

I like the bumper mounted weed burner exhaust but the wheelbase makes it hard to get in and out of the 7-11 store for my daily Big Gulp.

Saw this while window shopping.
