wow,,,that was way cool,,,,,i was just checking out AC mack the other day,,,,and brought me back,to when i broke into trucks,,,all most everyone around me started on solid rubber tires and chain drives,seems back around 75,,i was the only kid,everyone around me was old,,,,seems now thier all kids,,lol.,,bob

oh ya the gps is god sent,,,i never could have found my way around macungie and where do you find maps nowdays i was just in verizen store a few weeks ago and they offered a couple of flips i think for a while they were trying to force the stupid phones to everyone even if you didnt want one..bob

there is only so much we can do with keeping everything original,i think mine are also brass tubing,,,its been 30 years since i messed with it,,bob

my god that burger is huge,,,,we had a place in las vegas,,,Barcelona casino with oversized burgers,,,but no where near that big,,,wow

heh you know tj,,,i kicked and screamed when my wife forced me to get the first one but,,,they do come in right handy sometimes especially when we need to call dispatch for some reason ,,,i remember freezing my ass off one night 101 just north of santa maria ca,,payphone just to give them a dolly number,exceptionally handy with airplane flights,bob

oh by the way,,,the only thing i didnt care for was the bubbled windshield and the new grille,,looking at it with an open mind,,,i wanted to see the inside but the doors were locked

well thanks for all your input,,,,mack trucks have most of us very impressed for many years,,with very appealing,,body styles,,,many thanks for many years of eye candy,i understand they are trying to compete,,,with new and exciting ideas,,,and the new body,is not the worse thing ive ever seen,,,,so best of luck to them,,,and hope they make a great impression on the younger generation,,,and catch on to big fleets and sell many of them,,,i took a good look at a pioneer at the museum saturday and i think they will catch on soon,,,as i mentioned...best of luck to the cooperation,,,,afterall they put out the new volvo ,that i thought was the ugliest thing i ever saw,,,and thier still selling tons of them to this day,,,,bob

pm double clutching weasel,,,i think he might be able to help he atleast has many info sheets on macks good luck,,bob

those of you that know him,,i talked to him on the phone yesterday,,,he is doing fine ,,85,and still plugging along...he doesnt have much left for parts,,,and he doesnt really sell anymore,,,,his wife died,,christmas eve and he is still having trouble getting over this,,,but he still has the restored R model...and his N model and an AC chain drive he messes with,,,strangest thing,,i was gassing up my rental car yesterday and my cellphone battery was dying,and raining all over me,,when his contact started ringing me,,,i just ignored it,ill call him when i get it plugged in at the airport,,,,and when i reached him,he said he never called me,,,these phones do wierd stuff sometimes,,,bob

Wow, excellent job on the floor. Thanks for that Matt. Sorry I missed you. There was also a guy with an R model. green one all chopped down, nice and neat last I saw the information booth said there was 960 trucks showed up this year. Last year was a record well over 1000.

Oh by the way Matt 73 was there for sure hippy actually saw his truck like wow man

Tom we found our house legal information on line and it actually says my ex wife lived here a couple of years I don’t know how they come up with this stuff we split up in 1990 and I bought this house in 2005 and she lives 400 miles from here in art bells town parump Nevada… bob

OK, who change the subject this time ha ha ha it wasn’t me. I just continued with the new conversation you hear me Joey. Tj ???

Ya right you know all this jazz about protecting your transactions I don’t think anything is really safe. McAfee, for example, can notify you if there’s an issue but they can’t really prevent it. What’s scary I am hearing people can go in there and take your property without you even knowing it that’s scary.

I think this is the first I’ve heard of it

That mostly happens in the winter time when it’s too cold

Yes, he’s definitely working a lot faster than I do

Best wishes bud and have a swinging time not sure if it’s today or tomorrow … bob

I never did see Matt. I looked for him all day Friday as far as the photo goes I don’t know. I think the rain just drove everybody out. It certainly screwed up a lot of stuff. I was going to be watching for you, Dave for one. And 67 R model I don’t know his name. I figured both of you guys would be there, but I did probably talk to a handful that did show up. Oh well it rains a lot here in the East Coast. It happens that’s why it’s gorgeous and green everywhere. Maybe see you next year Dave… bob

That’s really weird because I just read a couple of weeks ago. They were not going to do anything with the anthem. I saw a brand new pioneer at the show. It wasn’t the ugliest thing I ever seen. I think the worst thing about it was the windshield I didn’t care for it was too bubbly, but you fellas are right. There is too much Volvo in it. Best of luck to them.

Ha ha I noticed that I was surprised he did not tape it off or at least it looks like there’s paint on it
