Great story. Maybe we can get more trucks headed to needy departments.

I'm am interested in the extinguisher if load star passes on it.

Congratulations. What's the story? Where is Palm Coast? Don, how did you play into this? I often wonder why more trucks are not donated to needy companies. Three of my local companies consolidated and they have a 1988 Pierce sitting in the unused house. They tried to sell it to me but I only offered $3000. I don't want it and I don't need it, but they could donated it to a company that both wants it and needs it. It would be doing what it was made to do rather than sitting unused and unneeded. I only paid $2900 for my CF just out of service. I doubt that money made a big difference to the company I bought it from but the truck could have made a big difference to a needy community. Anyway, congratulations again. I hope it serves the community well. Mike

The first picture on the Hank's thread is my father's B85.

Not much left on your list anymore.

Where do I order one of those new F models?

On a different subject, did you sell the F model? I saw it listed on Craigslist.

Your barn looks great. It's nice to make a piece of history useful (just like old trucks).

Buy it now is $500 more.

You're still working on that truck? I would have quit on it long ago and torn something else apart that I would never put back together. I would have put rainex on the windshield. It's way easier than fixing the wipers. Or maybe just hoped it wouldn't rain. Mike.

You were right. Looks like someone took the 'buy it now'. I would have if I had any money.

Sorry he hear about your loss, but the money is nice. The White looks great in pictures. If it were closer and I wasn't out of money I would be interested. Mike

Happy new year. I have a headache.

ekennedy21: are they your trucks? if not, whose are they? they are awesome.

Do you have a pre-restoration picture of this truck?

So where are they? Did Gary Mahan get the EHU also? the BM looks like the one that Bala has, but maybe that is not a sleeper.

Bob Theimer also had a beautifully restored EHU or similar model. I only saw it once at Macungie next to his CH the year before his auction. Where did that end up? I love that Dunn CH. I wish I had had the money for the Dunn AC when it sold last. It was only 10 miles from me, but he was asking $40,000 for it. (Actually I wish it was cheaper.) Now it is in Florida. I finally got a copy of the July 30 issue of Old Cars Weekly that has a story about Macungie and mentions my H613. Maybe someone else can make it look less like a U model. Mike.

This will change. One last year. One this year. We will see what next year brings. Nice purchase. Have fun with it(and the next one).

That gives me two years to park my junk there.

Great idea. I would gladly loan the new non-profit a few trucks: 1964 Hahn, 1972 Mack CF719, 1972 Ward LaFrance, 1976 Hamerly. I could bring more if there is more room.

That is way more work than I would ever do. It will be beautiful when it is done.

Yep. At the Watt's tent at 1 pm on Saturday. Maybe noon but I think 1. Also one at Mack Day.

Holy shit. I'm listening now. That Hahn looks very lonely. I think I need to bring it some friends to hang out with.

This truck belongs to a buddy of mine. He has had it a few years and has done a bunch of cosmetic work. It is a nice, solid truck. I hate the bumper though. I offered him a steel bumper for free but he bought this one. He bought the chrome grill at. Macungie and put it on on the show field. Here it is at Trucktoberfest with 3 other F700's. Sorry for the fog. It was not the best weather this year. As for Macungie. It is definitely worth the 18 mile trip I have to make. I've only missed one year since about 1990.

Neat stories. Do you have any pictures of the wrecker? The first looks like an L model with a hard nose. Mike
