  1. I stopped and looked at this truck quite a few years ago. There were two there but I couldn't find anyone to talk to the other disappeared a couple years ago. Mike
  2. Your be looks great and the new one is neat too. Looks like you need another ash tray though. Keep the pictures coming.
  3. Good work. I thought that truck was done.
  4. My Chicago layover went well. The train system was easy to navigate. A friend put me in contact with Jack Conners from the Fire Museum. He is a 39 year veteran of the fire department. He picked me up at the train station and took me to the museum. The had three trucks on display and a lot of memorabilia. Next he took me to their shop where they had 12 more trucks and a lot of equipment. A 1919 AC that was a originally a tractor for an aerial. And several off brands. Three more Foxes. Two more whites. Three more Fords. Which I couldn't post a picture of. Two of these ugly things and a Seagrave Mike
  5. Tim. I am close to your time zone. Was drinking with some kiwi's and some Aussies. Kmeitz. I might try to find ladder 10. Not into baseball but am into food. Mike
  6. So I'm flying home from vacation on Thursday and I have a layover in Chicago. Some how in my stupidity I bought the wrong ticket and have a 10 hour layover. I land at 8:25am and depart at 6:21pm. Is there anything to do that is not too much hassle? Are the buses or trains easy to navigate? I don't want to lose a whole day at Ohare. Thanks. Mike
  7. Welcome to he forum. I have friends who live in Turrialba. I have been there twice. I saw several B models when I was there and a superliner. I'll have to dig out the pictures and post them. Mike
  8. My F715 got re-cabbed in 1984 then was put back to work. It is not perfect but much better than it would be otherwise. You have a great truck Erick. I hope you find someone interested in it. Mike.
  9. 39minimack looks so old in that picture.
  10. Anybody know the serial number on either of these?
  11. We were there. Saw some good friends. Didn't see many of you guys. I was glad I went. I planned my vacation around Mack Day. I leave for Tokyo at 6am. I wore long johns and insulated boots. I was plenty warm. Mike.
  12. Neat trucks. Nice purchases. Certainly worth a couple thousand a piece.
  13. The R model and the B613 look neat. Which two did you buy? I'm sure you really did need them.
  14. In that case I'm glad you didn't come. There wouldn't have been any deals.
  15. Should have come to the auction last weekend in Germansville PA. Doors sold cheap. I didn't buy any though. They are out there someone will sell you one or two.
  16. Welcome to the forum. Where are you from? Mike
  17. This truck appears to be owned by Mike Kitsock who is the new curator of the Mack Museum. At least the add appears to have been posted by him. Mike http://m.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-fire-truck-original-/291574792999?nav=SEARCH
  18. Beatiful weather, lots of nice trucks, great company and pig stomach for supper. Looks like you are having a great time Leslie. See you on Saturday.
  19. My father and i will be there Saturday. Is anyone coming from the Homer City area? I bought a pair of White fenders that need a ride east. Thanks. Mike
  20. Unfortunately I am not in the market for a Crackerbox at the moment. I am spending all my money on a run-down farm. I only saw that green Crackerbox once 10 or more years ago on Rt 100 in Gilbersville PA, but when I mentioned it to my father he had he saw him all over. There also used to be a old-school green and white freightliner cabover that I would see frequently on 422 around Pottstown, but that was at least 7 years ago. Mike
  21. The B42 had a not so nice frame splice. The B71 wasn't a bad deal for a rare truck. I know I would not have sold my parts for what these brought. The fuel tanks brought maybe $150. That was the only fuel tanks. No air tanks. I didn't stay to see the Z28 sell.
  22. I think only a little over $100, maybe $130. A B61 hood with all the trim including two Thermodyne emblems sold for $130 or so. Part of it was we knew each other so people would hold back a lite if their buddy was bidding.
  23. Not much. Doors $50-80 each. Rough fenders only $20 or so. I bought the B75 cast radiator for $45 and only $5 or so for the shutters. Most of the parts weren't great though. I compete MH seat and another set of cushions went for $180. I could have used them but not at that price. The B71 had 11.00x24 rubber. Mike
  24. B42 w/673 $6100 B71 $8200 1949 Freuhauf $1800 1957 Freuhauf $3200 1979 Great Dane $2900 Snow Runners $700 each I didn't buy any of them. Mike.
  25. Nice work. I hope the other door is higher or your stack won't fit out. (Or is it just an illusion?)
