vision386 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I wish i had known of Mike (or BMT) back some years ago when i passed his place,i came close to wrecking my truck when i went by,just "rubbernecking"! sure is some collection! if my backyard looked like that,i'd never leave home! some really neat iron thats for sure! i would imagine an MB is something of a rarity in Iowa? thanks so much for sharing the pictures!...........................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

JTFormula Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 As a new comer here and still learning about the older Mack's, I have today that is one awesome collection. I love this old crusty stuff. I want to save every single one of them. I dig all the old wreckers, especially the twin screw black B (61?) 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgil Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks for the pictures I had no dought that Mike had a lot of trucks I just wise he was able to do more with them. But like most of us funds and time has us at a disavantage. Hope some one is able to fix them up some day. At least Mike has saved them from going to china for scrap.

burnstransport Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 What a magnificant pictorial! Those photos could easily make a couple of years worth of calendars, I for one would buy a few copies! And Mike you certainly have gone "above and beyond the call of duty" when it comes to saving those beautiful trucks from insatiable iron shredder's appetite!BRAVO!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
