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.

Thank you,it's a shame my scanner quit working,some came out pretty blurry but i'm taking pictures of pictures so it's hard to get them but so good,and some aren't too good to start with!

Hey Tom, you still work for the H.H. Moore don't you? Gotta be a gold watch in your near future.

Naw, I worked there over 25 years, been gone over 6 years. PGT later bought the company, so H.H.Moore Jr. Trucking Co. Inc. no longer exists. Jeff and Todd Moore, whom I work for now-Jeff (and his lovely wife Teresa) owns the Pete I drive-are H.H.'s grandsons so i've been driving for the Moore family for 32 years. Started working for H.H. in June,1979.

Tom, G/F came over the house this pm and carried me to her house to play on the computer. While seeing your scout I recall my g/f and her identical twin sister had a 1970 2 door scout they drove to school. I just now went out while she's mowing the yard to ask her what color it was. She said it was orange and white. Her dad owned a small International Truck dealership in Gallatin, TN duing that time and finally sold it to what is now Kyle International in Nashville.

I remember the glasses cause I had some of those myself. They were popular in the 60's and 70's. Everthing was rosy then. LOL

Figuered i better pull out my old pictures too, while i was home and had the time. the B-model is the very first truck i ever drove,thats a much younger version of me standing in front of my Grandfathers R-685,which was the first truck i actually ran for a living,i ran 5/6 nights a week (depending on the season)from south jersey to Binghampton,NY with boxed apples north,then empty glass bottles or new boxes back to White house vinegar Co. in Glassboro,NJ. these are about the earliest picture i have from my own career,starting right around 1978/9...................Mark

I'll look for that place next time I'm there. That exit is rt 17 to the east and old 17 (Court street) to the west. My early days riding in a truck with my father, I remember the truck stop known as "Hawks" before TA took it over.

Hey mark,

Some of us know how to do our homework better than others. It takes great skills and lots of patients and also need to know how to do plumbing.

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.

B52, here's a couple of teasers for you, these were taken at the Rolls-Royce Aviation Heritage Invitational at last year's air races. I'll try to post some more on the other thread I started as I get the chance,
