  1. Here is another picture of the ugly stepsister of the R model. That driver's door sure does look funny. The truck had belonged to Scout Trucking of Spring City, PA. Scout was an off-shoot of Jones Motors. Someone had posted a bunch of pictures of Jones Motors and Scout trucks last year sometime. It currently resides about 0.1 miles from my house at Stainless Corporation.
  2. Saw this truck down the road at the steel plant. It is their jocky truck. If anyone likes this kind of thing I can post some more pictures. Mike
  3. If you can't sell the truck whole I am interested in the cab. I have a H613 that i could.use some parts for. I would like.to.see the whole.truck saved, but i don't have room for another truck. If you are not in a hurry to sell it you should advertise it in double clutch. I am also interested in the parts manual, but only if you can't sell the whole truck. Thanks, Mike yarnallvmd@hotmail.com 610 764 8283
  4. It might be. My F715 has a naturally aspirated 864. Mike
  5. Does anyone know what size V8 a CF719 has in it. I am looking at a 1972 with an automatic. Thanks Mike
  6. I can't make it. Get me some good deals. This new A model is stripped. Mike
  7. Great story and great pictures. Glad it was a good birthday. I'll be 42 in July. I do like that cat. I've been trying.to buy a D2 for quite a few years now. Mike
  8. Thanks for the compliments. It is a really nice truck. Dean and Earl Feller are really good guys. They let me crawl all over their trucks and take pictures of everything. The nicest truck is that KB6. I'm surprised it fit in the trailer with the rear tires on it. I wasn't planning on putting a pump back on the A model. We are going to take the bumper and brackets of my A20 parts truck and put that on. It will shorten it up a foot. I already have the top of the tank cut out so I can put a hot tub in it and I am getting a keg system ready the for compartments on the tail board. It will make a great party truck. Ok, I'm just kidding about that. If it didn't have the body molded into the cab I would take the body off, shorten the frame and put a little flat bed on it, but I guess it will stay the way it is. Mike
  9. you'd need a mighty long garage for the B30. It says its 160 ft long.
  10. One more. A nice KB6 in a storage trailer.
  11. Thanks,and me too. Here's another one. A rough 4000 or 4070A.
  12. Even more IH's. There are a lot more if you want to see them. Mike
  13. My father and I set out in his Superliner at 3:30am on Saturday to pick up the A30 that a few bad eggs on here convinced me to buy. It was about 375 miles from Boyertown, PA to Dover, OH. We arrived just after 11am. The truck was already loaded on a step deck to transfer to my father's step deck. The sellers, Earl and Dean Feller, along with their helper, Chris, had gotten the truck running and ready to load. We looked it over and it looked pretty good. It is built on a commercial chassis, but has very nice body work done by American. The front mounted pump and much of the equipment was removed by the fire company when the Feller's bought it in 1996. The odometer reads 13035 miles. I don't know if the odometer works. There are a few spots of rust, but nothing severe. After the truck was loaded and chained down we got a tour of the International collection. I had be told they had a field full of trucks. None of the others were Macks, but I like other brands, too. More pictures to follow, Mike
  14. Welcome to the forum. My father bought a '75 RL712LST out of California a couple of years ago. He loves the thing. There are quite a few of the long nose lovers on the forum. It would be great to see some pictures. To post a picture go down to "more reply optionns" in the right lower corner. Then "choose files" in the left lower corner. Pick your picture from your files. Then "add reply" in the center on the bottom. The yellow and black truck is my father's RL. Mike
  15. I guess I should get my extinguishers tested. I sold a 707 out of a B85 to someone on this forum. He has a B70 that he wants to put it in. Maybe he will see this and change his mind. I have another complete 707, but I think I will keep it as a back-up. Mike
  16. Great truck. That is definitely too far away. Just brought that a model.home yesterday though. 700 miles round trip. I wouldn't have bought it if i knew it was that far. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Mike
  17. I have bought several B model manuals at the truck show in Macungie. They are big, thick books with green covers. You should make the pilgramage. Mike
  18. I told myself that I was not buying any more firetrucks unless they had some local connection. No chance I am driving that home. It is 500 miles and the brakes don't work.
