Popular Post mackdaddy Posted August 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would assume many of you either knew or met Bob Brown over the years. He was a truck collector before it was a hobby and also worked for Mack trucks for many years. He was a mechanical genius and could do anything. I was fortunate to end up with his Mack AP conversion. I put this on the hood today. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have many pics of his yard full of antiques,taken just before I got out of the ARMY (Feb.'86).I'll have to scan them for all to enjoy!
