That's no jalopy. Best truck there!!!!

You guys must have strong backs,I used to,but too many years in a F model.

Reminds me of a story I used to tell.

Years ago I went to Gilley's in Texas.After watching several "cowboys" get bucked off the mechanical bull,I decided to give it a try.I jumped up in the saddle,and they started winding it up,I just sat there,took a can of Skoal out of my pocket and took a dip,Asked someone to throw me a can of beer,popped it open and drank it,by then they had it cranked as hard as it would go and I was still in the saddle.After they shut it down and I climbed off,Mickey Gilley came up to me and said "that beats anything I ever seen,nobody's ever hung on that long,let alone drink a beer and take a dip of snuff like nothing was going on,you must be a pro bull rider."

I said " heck,that ain't nothing,try driving a F model Mack with a 144" wheelbase and Camelback suspension across Highway 78 in Iowa"

That truck is awesome. I just love it. You guys are V8 mania!!!! This gonna be at Macungie?

Your apparent man crush on Rob and some other members is becoming troubling. I think as Rob told Vinny ...

That is amazing!!!! Love it. Have you tried to fire it up yet?

Somebody won it in Florida it said on the news.

U model.

Looking Good Vinny, you need to spend more time out at your Grand Parents working on your truck. When do you think it will be ready to roll?

ok i get it, anything with with an offset cab and steel nose is a DM, anything with a centered cab and steel nose is a RD, anything with an offset cab and fiberglass nose is a U and anything with a centered cab and fiberglass nose is an R Model

NICER? Shoot I'll take that ol K Whopper if your not interested those old A models are sweet trucks. I always thought the ultimate collection

would be an E9 Superliner, 3408 W900A ext.

hood, KT600 359 ext. Hood, 8V92 GMC General and a Big Cam Dodge Big Horn.

I was going to use your truck Vinny but it said it was too big?

U model.

You an Papa did a really great job so far, you should both be proud!! Paul

We won't have a trailer for awhile.

I like the Mack billiard ball shift knob.

Nice!!!

I was going to guess it was your Papa but you don't seem very excited.

Happy birthday.

Well, I guess I learned something new today.

I would like to find another engine, maybe a 300 or 350 to build as I get the money, you know a little at a time and then I will be ready if something ever happens to this one, I have found a truck with a 350 in it 2 vavle like mine but someone has put a tipturbine set up on it and I thank the 350 were all air to air, but the engine plate clearly says it a 350 hp, and it has a 13 speed eaton with it, would this be a good engine to get and swap out latter on

You?
