umodelnut Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 This is a very interesting video. Lots of Mack information and history. They even show a guy demonstrating how to drive an AC, and he says its the first one built!! it also shows this guy with like a whole flipping lot full of Macks, and some good ones too. It reminds me of my friend Mike Harbisons place!!! I see his got a offset cab L model, and I love those and hope to have one someday. The guys name is Tom Spencer. Does anybody know about him? Does he have any U models? Thanks,,, Vinny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I haven't watched the video, but Tom Spencer made a lot of videos in the nineties. He used to make a video at macungie every year. We have a bunch of them on VCR tape. He had a beautiful Mack BX rigging truck that is one of my favorite trucks ever. He sold that to Iowa 80. He sold everything including his farm in New Ringold, PA and moved to Florida about 6 or 8 years ago. He also had a 1930's GMC truck tractor that was one of a kind that he sold to Iowa 80. There was an article in double clutch about the company it came from a few years back. My parents saw him at Gary Mahan's open house two weeks ago. Hopefully he will be around for Macungie.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I just watched the video. That was pretty good. You can see Tom Spencer's BX behind him when he is talking about the LTL and going down the road at the end of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 If it is the same Tom Spencer he had a truck restoration shop in Penna. near the Panther Creek Power Plant. About 10 years ago I was hauling coal to power plant there and saw old Macks and some other makes in his yard at end of the day I stopped in to look around and he invited me into his shop to see restoration projects. I asked about him a few years ago and was told he retired.Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
