Cool, I've been away from the computer since Wednesday..I'm adding some pics of the airshow today.

Real nice randyp! I really love those Transtars. I'm eyeing one down the road from my Inlaws house.. It's been sitting for at least six years.I see the guy tinkering around with it once in awhile. I may stop by on Sunday just to chat with him. It has the alluminum Buds on the front like yours in the first pic, I think it has Daytons on the rear.

Yeah that would be cool.. Wish I had some more property to keep one. I have just a half acre but you can't keep commercial vehicles in my development. I have a real good friend who owns a truck repair garage near me, I would probably see if he could keep one for me there I suppose... My two car garage isn't tall enough for a tractor, Plus I keep my Hot Rod in there. -
Wow!!! Love the pics mowerman was right!!! I will get a bunch on Saturday and post when I get a chance.. I love this stuff being an aircraft mechanic myself. Just meeting the heros they have there is a pleasure too. Lots of former Aces have been there.. My Hero Donald Strait will be there this year.. He was a double ace in the famous P-51D "Jersey Jerk" he was originally from East Orange NJ. Check Google images if you get a chance that P-51 has a really cool diamond pattern cowl

Cool, I can't wait for Saturday.. Going to Reading, Pa for the WW2 weekend. All kinds of cool stuff and WW2 fighter aces on hand signing autographs.. Dad and I make it a tradition.. He's a former B-47 Crew Chief 308th Bomb Wing and I'm a B-52 Crew Chief, 5th Bomb Wing, so besides us both being truck drivers, we both love planes too.

Yeah man, this trip down memory lane sure brought it out of alot of guys... This was fun, I love Bulldogs just like the rest of ya, but it's fun to look at all that older iron.....I think if you just love trucks or anything mechanical it's all fun.. I love WW2 airplanes.. but i'm not going to even get that ball rolling, we'll be here for five more days LOL!!!!
-
Real nice pics other dog, man that F-model is real nice!!!! all of them are sharp... I love that line-up at the end.

I seen her the other day sitting to wait to get clearance to go over the Outerbridge crossing into Staten Island. That truck is beautiful!
-
bullhusk I built this just for you lol.. I love those COE shakers toooo!
-
Yeah mowerman, you're right. Most of the drivers are Knuckleheads.. Try geeting someone to give you the lights when you pass them.. It's nearly impossible. Over here in Jersey half of them look like they drive for Taliban Transport.
-
Wow! great photos gentlemen, Thanks Terry T, yours were great too!... They were really cool trucks.
-
Your right! I actually got out of driving and I'm working in supervision now. I miss it some days, but not very often.. I still love trucks and that's why enjoy a site like this with people like yourself and other good guys, who remember the way it was.I keep my CDL cause sometimes I take some of my friends trucks for a little spin, just to stay sharp!I would love to pick up an old H-67 or a nice COE Transtar just to have fun with..Maybe even an Emeryville?
-
You're right Vision 386! Alot of memories indeed. Dad and I were just talking about that today, he came over after Church to see the kids. I always was proud of my Dad, he's my hero and I always tried to be like him. He was from the "old school" of driving. He said he always dressed clean and acted like a gentlemen. He use to say, just cause you've been on the road for 9 days doesn't mean you can't comb your hair and brush your teeth.. lol

I've been trying to dig up old pics when I get a chance to. This is one of my favorite's of my Dad. He had just pulled in on this summer afternoon with a new Transtar II. Needless to say I was the proudest kid on the Block!!!! I remember it was white with red interior 350 Cummins and 9 speed. I always loved these Transtars, they had such a cool look to them. His last run in this truck was to New Orleans out of Newark N.J. running flatbeds.. a long time ago. Sorry the picture is so worn out.. I've had it on every visor of every truck I drove.

That's great info Underdog! Thanks, I would love for someone to have assembly line photo's of some H's coming down the line. -
I hear ya mowerman, they were great for tank work in the tight city areas because of the tight turning radius. you could overshoot a gas stations' driveway to make more room for the trailer to clear the pump island or whatever. Out west the gasoline stations generally are more thought out and easier for deliveries. 2am in the morning on a city street in Newark is a pain in the you know what, with cars all parked all over the place, theirs no room for the tractor much less the trailer.LOL

I'll have to try to find the picture, I have it somewhere? you may be right! It may have been Plainfield. -
I've driven quite a few trucks like alot of you guys, been trying to dig out some old pics. Here's the 112 Freightliner I drove for Mobil Oil Corp. I have to find a few more around. I also have a real nice pic of an R model tanker special I think they called it. They were lightweight for gasoline hauling,I'll try to find it.You guys may have better knowledge than me on them. It had a 350/ mack 9-speed all alluminum package wheels/tanks etc.I also ran lime with that (freuhauf dry bulk) out of Armstrong tile in Reading,Pa. What a sweet riding truck.

I posted in introductions that I would post a cool pic of an H-67 tandem i found back in the 80's If anyone has seen this truck outside of Minot, N.D. Chime in please! I would love to hear whatever happened to it. I love these H-63's & 67's I also remember a Brown COE Emeryville sitting near it with a lowboy. The inside door of the H-67 said Mack Trucks Piscataway N.J. if I remember. I will try to find the pic of that also.

From what I can see, It does look like an electrical sending unit oil temp sensor. If I'm wrong someone please correct it!
