 Horrible!

Kenyon Pipeline Inspection @ Carrier UTC Dewitt campus.

I'm thinking about it. Figure I might as well see the spectacle once in my life.

Actually just saw one like that the other day and it was a town of Leyden truck thats up by me. Whered you take this picture?

Same truck. In for service at Tracey Road Equipment. Probably something to do with dump body/plow gear.

Ok, so we all agree that that U is not a U and maybe not even a DM....but what do we make of this setup?

Sounds like we have the making for a good book here!

Good looking truck IMO.

Here is the HX520 of the Tackaberry fleet.

Started at Brockway and finished at Mack.  Never heard any specific names or group of names for designers and engineers.

Correct.

"Grandpa's Girl" as she was three years ago.

Geez, I had no idea I was looking at such a Frankenstein rig or I would have paid closer attention. Sadly, I think we may never know the answer.

Door tag read U. As of two weeks ago it was still in Adams, they had another auction and this truck was supposed to be in it. I didn't hang around but I doubt it was sold, they pushed this truck into the furthest corner of the property.

You missed a good one if you didn't go...

It's interesting that both foreign owned US truck builders (Freightliner, Mack) seem to be having problems with sales and have been forced to slash their work forces while the two domestics are somehow making due.

There was a nice profile of the man and company in one the most recent Wheels of Times. Rest in Peace!

Daily are you guys heading out to the show? And where in upstate are you located?

I won't be able to make the show this year so take a few pics for me! I'm from the Syracuse area.

It will stand out that's for sure!

Can you just imagine a the Peterbilt red oval being replaced by the VW?

Stafford, NY, August 6 & 7th, held on the grounds of the Volunteer Fire Department. Some of my favs from years gone by.
