SOUTHBOUND01

Southbound,

I am not too far away in eastern PA if you want to take a Sunday ride! Always happy to show off my F model and talk trucks with friends old & new. I am at Macungie & Lititz PA shows every year too.

I don't want to give out too many details until it happens, but I am trying to "adopt" another F model as well...

Thanks for the invite, I want to get up to the Mack Museum oneday and any truck shows I can. That's a nice Mack you got there!

Hey Bob,i was a household mover for almost 20 years,so i spent a LOT of time up at Ft,Dix/Mcgiure AFB! Wrightstown,Pemberton etc. and also down at the Cape may Coastguard base. My dad ran produce out of the "block" in Vineland almost his entire career,so i know a great deal of people in that area in the trucking business.He loaded a lot of blueberries in Hammonton,he also ran a lot of Hunts point,Bronx etc. Believe it or not,my aunt and uncle live right across the street from the cairiones in Malaga! matts son Barry (i believe) had an R-model,pulled an end-dump around SJ,eastern PA. I believe he has something to do with schoolbus maintenence now. We moved down here almost 4 years ago now,i haul furniture/store fixtures out of Martinsville,VA so it made sense to live closer to my outbound freight,we kinda do miss jersey though! just not the taxes,BS,so-forth! just cant get a good Cheesesteak down here!,NO tastykakes! LOL! there is a few truck shows around,i will get in touch with some of my pals,see if i can get some particulars...............Mark

Where are you at in south jersey? i'm born and raised in Elmer (salem county) moved to virginia about 3 years ago...there is a South jersey shore chapter show (ATHS) at the salem county fairgrounds every spring,Philadelphis chapter up in burlington,NJ.....chances are i can put you in touch with someone around South jersey may be able to help you out. I grew up on a farm in Monroeville,NJ lived there almost all my adult life!..............Mark

Hey Mark, lucky you. I wanted to move to VA or NC but after giving up driving 3 years ago, due to back trouble I got a good job at McGuire AFB. I guess I'll stay here until I can retire then maybe head south. SOUTHBOUND was my handle and was on my R Model's bug shield so everyday when I walked up to my truck it reminded me of where I'd rather be. Oh well, I grew up in Hammonton on a farm and used to run produce up to Hunt's Point, and a couple other markets in PA and NY. I used to know a guy from Malaga, his name was Matt Cairone. He had a Brockway that he used to bachaul wood packing crates out of CT down to the farm. What a nice truck and man, I doubt if he still with us. I now live in Pemberton which is just outside of Ft. Dix. Even though I'm happy to have my job I still miss trucking and trucks. I have a buddy who lives in Estell Manor and he rebuilding a B-61 but last I heard he's "Taking a MONEY break" LOL. If you know any truck shows etc. that would be great! Thanks and have a great day.

Bob

Thanks for the feed back. I will check these out along with a couple local sightings. Where I am in NJ there are a lot of farms around and just like that show "Pickers" if you drive by slow and look in around the barns in the back you never know what you might find! I know of at least 2 fire companies in South Jersey that have F models to pull tanker trailers. I doubt if they'd wanna part with them. I'd like to find some truck shows in the NJ, PA, DE, MD area to at least see some even if I can't own one.

I would like to know if you can find an F Model out there for a resonable price. I'm not looking for a complete rebuild but not a pristine show truck either. I no longer drive trucks, but if I could I would love to find an old F Model like I drove back on the farm in the 70's. I'm new to this site so I just thought I'd throw this out there. I have friends who are into the B Models and there seems to be a lot more of them out there.

i know very little about the truck is it white gold do you want to sell it i love f models
