    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.
  13. 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

    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
  21. mowerman
    Again not surprised…. Thanks for that
  22. mowerman
    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????
  23. mowerman
    Also, I was wondering what year tow drivers started removing the driveshaft
  24. mowerman
    Forgot to mention, they were all painted Allied van lines, colors, and all in really good shape like they had been restored
  25. 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.
