RFCDrum Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Was driving the Granite for Joe a couple of days a week in the early Spring. This truck caught fire on the NYS Thruway before I was driving it. The plow pump inside on the passenger floor got loose and sparked resulting in melting everything rather quickly. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chuck P Posted August 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2014 I figured I would resurrect an old thread. Caught these fine specimens at the 2014 White Bash in South Brunswick, NJ just this morning. It was a nice little White-theme show with a few other brands sprinkled in. Enjoy!'66 U609T on the hook and an '85 DM with worn out Bristol-Donald body. Plus two local firetrucks. 9 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

That's what attracted me to Shuster's at the time.That's what we try to accomplish, problem being new and old is parts availability. Granted we try to source good used, and aftermarket parts from credible sources. There are times when those sources and the dealers will have you out 2-3 days to a week on things that seem mundane. Before you know it a truck has been down for damn near 2 weeks. Thank goodness for extra trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in a perfect world old truck parts would continue to be made long after the models are discontinued. Then again in a perfect world we would have all this emissions crap turning good trucks into bad ones. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck P Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Did the weather hold off Chuck? RobHey Rob! Weather was overcast all morning and lots of trucks coming in all day until the rain hit at 2:00 pm. It rained steady from there on out and they never finished the racing portion. At 7:00 pm it started to mist and they let the monster trucks do their show as planned. Such a shame because there was a lot of nice equipment there. Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

I remember Pomponio's trucks running sand trailers. Mostly all black Macks but I don't recall seeing the R-700. His son Skip had some beautiful needlenose Pete show trucks but I haven't seen them recently. This pair was taken in '08. 5 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...
