Red Horse Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 On 9/25/2016 at 9:40 AM, Red Horse said: A few shots from great show this weekend at Saratoga County Fairgrounds: Maddog's B-61 Long time Mobil employee Lee Cook and his B and LJ painted in Socony Red colors from "back in the day" when he started with Mobil Andy Henderson's beautiful B-73 with a couple of young admirers Well sad news to report. Lee Cook, shown with his B and LJ Macks in these shots passed away on Saturday at age 80 following a 3 year battle with cancer. Lee was always an active participant in this show as well as his other club activities. A long time Mobil Oil employee, Lee started as a driver with Mobil in Ithaca NY back when a tandem axle tank carrying 6700 gallons pulled by a single axle Brockway was considered "big time". His career advanced over the years to include stints as terminal manager in Syracuse, Brooklyn (North Henry St.) and Albany New York. (He was undergoing chemo when these pictures were taken and didn't think he could drive the LJ to the show but one of his sons drove the B and he drove the LJ and held up for both days of the show. Good therapy!) He retired in 1994 following a 4 year assignment for Mobil Saudi Arabia as Manager, Operations and Supply. An old school guy who learned the business from the ground up. He will be missed by many. Rest in Peace old friend! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyB73 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Sorry not to respond sooner. I picked up the B73 back in 1994 and took me 17 years to restore. During the mid 90's I happened on the 4 drive tires in Syracuse and was able to find 2 steer tires thru a Goodyear dealer who pulled them out of NJ. Yes 20 plus years since 22" are becoming extinct for sure. Edited April 13, 2017 by BuddyB73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I think someone needs to start reproducting the Goodyear Diamond tread and drive tires. they have such a good look to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
