    lol ya nice work on the white… but I didn’t care for the wheels either…. Same thing in my area … they are very hard to find … but I did find one shop that deals with it all real close.. tube type tires, split rims, spacers , tubeless spoke rims … southern tire mart,,, I believe they are a chain store… bob

    I’ve tried to search for my dad‘s old company photos. I can’t find anything on it except for patches which I have bought and a B model ,, model with their logo. I guess there was probably nothing interesting at the time… they had U model Mack’s for the road and most of their city rigs were load stars really nothing unusual about anything they had. Beacon fast freight I’m sure you remember them TJ they had a yard in Kearney.

    There used to be a couple of websites you could go to for all of that old stuff. Some of your fellows might remember them or how to get on them.
  4. mowerman
    Yes, I found that one myself… and thanks for that TJ but these were a different color than that. I think they were darker orange with maybe black fenders as I mentioned it I really can’t remember but they were all in really mint condition. That one looks very tired ha ha

    You know that thing just looks really clean to me. Looks like all you Gotta do is scratch it up and shoot it and reupholster a seat. It would be ready to go.

    Oh, I remember as they were very, very clean like they had been completely restored… bob

    I don’t quite remember you’re talking 40 years ago. I just remembered they were painted the same as the rest of their trucks all running around the bay area. You probably don’t even know where I’m talking about. Whatever Allied was using back then that’s the scheme they had. Somebody has got to have photos of them somewhere.

    This is what I’m worried about with this Utuber trying to expose the California hospice fraud… bob
  12. mowerman
    Again not surprised…. Thanks for that

    Excellent… my god that thing fights you all the way …. It must be some how related to my DM … excellent progress … where did you find the correct exhaust clamp????
  14. mowerman
    Also, I was wondering what year tow drivers started removing the driveshaft
  15. mowerman
    Forgot to mention, they were all painted Allied van lines, colors, and all in really good shape like they had been restored
  16. mowerman
    I don’t even recall ever seeing one on the road when I was a kid I’m sure I did, but when I moved to California and used to go to the Bay Area quite a bit I believe it was Allied. Van lines had a bunch of them running around the bay area all cleaned up middle 80s. I don’t know what was up with that and I don’t know how many they actually had, but I used to see at least one of them all the time around Oakland. Still working… Aaaaahhhhh good old days.
  17. mowerman
    lol beats me I don’t know anything about them. I’m sure somebody else will chime in
  18. mowerman
    That was very interesting thanks for that … don’t get the so called 25 billion spent so far ,,, military already paid and ready equipment already owned … but I expect they probably had to buy more high priced fighters that adds up quickly
  19. mowerman
    My god you said it… that’s absolutely horrible… Bob

    Well, I’ve made a lot of mistakes of my time if I could go back and do it all over and pick the right routes I would be signing up for it now I used to hear older fellows when I was a real young guy saying the same thing. I wish we could start over and know what we know now didn’t quite know if they were talking about now that I’m old. I see what they were talking about. sorry Larry it seems to keep going off rail ha ha ha I know you probably don’t care that’s all interesting conversation.
  21. mowerman
    Excellent,, thanks for that ,,, lately around here people are air b and b ing thier campers as little as 85 bucks a day off season… I told Mrs mower if you could find a freight liner,,, I would drive it all over the place without crying
  22. mowerman
    Haven’t been over here in a while thanks for that. The whole thing sucks. I feel sorry for lots of people that have to use a lot of it especially especially independent truc truckers ….his go around. It doesn’t really affect me much at all. I usually only drive 30 miles a week. and my car is not a gas hog. Let’s hope this mess ends shortly… bob

    Well, I retired a year and a half ago. I was glad I called it quits in a Peterbilt instead of that Volvo I was stuck in for a year or so ha ha that was a real nice looking rig you had there Tom thanks for the post Tell Xena I said hi…. Bob
  24. mowerman
    Oh, one more thing it usually takes me way longer than I figured to do anything. It doesn’t have to be truck repairs. Also home repairs that’s it ….back to Larry.
