Yep. I was told if I wanted to find him I need to go to the VFW in Slatington. The light blue trucks are from Alpo. . Mike

I found the place. Everything down by the turnpike was cut up except this Diamond Reo.. Several interesting trucks up the hill though. It is hard to find off of Schoolhouse Rd. Mike

Brocky, Thanks for the info. I'm going to try it tomorrow. Mike D, If you get to talk to anyone see if they will sell parts or whole trucks. I would really like some parts off the Autocar. There is a very short dump trailer there that would be worth saving, maybe 20 feet long. And I could get that air filter for Maddog. Mike

That's the place. My father was by last week and said they were cleaning up the brush like they were getting ready to clean up the trucks. We were in there years ago and there were a hundred or more trucks. When I was in 4 years ago there were about twenty. I need to dig up the old pictures because there was some good stuff. Mike

Do you have a picture of the seat? I need one for my MH if it is the right thing. Could you bring it to Macungie? Mike

That black and white looks very similar to the one above. I thought I could get FWD to check this place out but I guess he has other things on his mind. Hopefully I can save some stuff. Mike

Yahoo. Way to go. Glad everyone is healthy now. Those little parasites can be hard on the host. Mike.

I had been wanting to go in this junk yard along the PA Turnpike Northeast extension for a long time. I stopped a few years ago in the snow on my way to Toronto. There were not a ton of trucks, but there were some neat things. Only parts of two Macks: a B model and an A model with a Mono-shift. Two Autocars, a DC75 that I would love the bumper and grill guard off of and a four-door utility truck. Several Internationals, Chevys and Whites. My father was by the other day and said they are cleaning it up. If any of you Lehigh Valley guys can get up there and find out what is happening I would appreciate it. I really would like the DC75 as a parts truck. It might have been cut up already. I will be in Easton on Sunday and might stop by in the afternoon, but don't know how to get there other than jumping the fence along the Turnpike. Mike

I hate to see anything get scrapped. It is too far from me. You should post it on the Brockway web site. Most of those guys are in New York but maybe someone will ant it. Good Luck. Mike

Jesse Baro Inc. My father has worked for them for about 15 years now.

Looks like an impressionist painting to me. Or maybe I need new glasses.

Nice. I found pictures here http://rescue37.com/apparatus/retired-apparatus/. Maybe I'll call them and see what they know. Mike

You can call it in too. Rose will answer the phone.

I had a good day. I drove my GMC/E-One just for fun. I considered not going but I had committed to a Mack extinguisher from Paul. So I got that and he gave me a great deal on a B model bell and bracket. I had a good time talking to Paul, his wife and his buddy. I bought a portable pump to fill up a compartment on a truck, a chain saw to use around the house, two PA300's and speakers and some 3" hard suction. The best deal was a box of Mack manuals. B and CF for $50. I only saw Yardo briefly and I missed the nunnery. I would have liked to catch up with more of you. It will have to wait till Macungie. Only two months away. Mike

Paul. I would like to buy the Mack extinguisher if it is not spoken for. I'll be there on Sunday. Mike

They were for sale for a while. I wish I would have bought them. They look like two nice trucks. Mike

I called ATHS and talked to the director before the auction. He said the decision was made several years previous to sell all the vehicles. They had already sold a bunch. I told him It was stupid to have that big building and not have any trucks in it. People expect to see trucks. He gave the answer that they can't keep everything that is donated and the donor got a tax write off which is what they were looking for. He said they pix to have it in the museum. I mentioned preserving history and there was not a truck with more history than that one. I suspect they got a lot of calls like mine before they made the decision. There was a huge uproar on the ATHS forum which led to a lot more lost members and hurt feelings. There was an effort to overthrow the board. I overheard Stormy Wilde talking about it after the election at that convention that most members were never on the forum and did not know anything about it . I stopped and visited Dennis Yaworsky 18 months ago. That truck as not the reason he doesn't take as many trucks to shows. But that is another story. Mike

Happy belated birthday. That is great birthday present.

The serial number on the L model is 85LS1341. Where was it before Barto? The Seagrave was from Spring City. I don't know where it went but was told it went to a collector. It definitely suffered from being outside. I hope I am not steeling the thread. Mike.

I'll be there. I might even drive a fire truck. Only if it doesn't rain. I'd be up for supporting some nuns in training. Is it tax deductible ? Yarnall.

It could be bought if anyone is interested. The doors are rough. There used to be an old Seagrave next to it that he sold. He has three other fire trucks inside.

That looks great. This truck sits out near me. It still has the antique tag on but no roof over it. You see how important it is. You need a building. One of those car ports is not good enough. That is what I had at first. It ruined he paint on the truck I kept in there. Mike Hard to read unless it is enlarged, but it is also from Barto.

Good work on finding the C model. I hope it works out. My CF719 had a 2 speed spicer in when it was new. They considered scrapping the truck because the the spicer gave them so much trouble. They finally replaced it with an Allison. Let see some pictures. Mike

I don't get that. I'll have to see if they sell it anywhere. Thanks, Mike

Nice truck. Is that your pole barn in the background? Let's see some pictures of the inside. Mike
