Congratulations! I guess you really didn't have a choice as to go or not. 

[HarryS]

Nice! That is the way to roll into a show.

Looks marvelous J. I would have opted for carrying the Winfall guls instead.

I had no idea that B was yours. I saw it last year, I think, at the Bolton show. WOW!

Thanks all!  Nice day at the show.  The dash plaque was just plain old luck.  My name was drawn out of a hat at our chapter's fall potluck meal and meeting.

Matt, I will send the WOW back to you because the B-73 is looking excellent in your restoration thread!

Thanks, I waited a long time to get to it. The thread keeps me motivated to get something done each week so even it's something minor.

Your Tandem B is really nice though, I'll have to track you down at one of the shows to see it up close.

Trolling around the web and found this green and rust milk truck.  It was listed as being in GA so it may be the one that Paul had seen previously.  The gray one on the trailer is the one I believe is now in NJ.  I thought I had a picture of the one in MA which had been owned by BMT member 39 Baby Mack family and then the one that I have.

All the trucks seem to have different brand bodies as common procedure in this time frame would have been to buy an incomplete cowl and chassis from a manufacturer and then have a separate body company finish it out to your specs.

Jim-Beautiful.  Do you know its original history?  

What was that Louisville parked next to you.  I've never been to that show but looking at Truckluvers video, its amazing the number of trucks that you see for first time. You would think in our small geography you would know them all

The milk truck was originally purchased by Manchester Dairy System in Manchester, NH.  They bought two at the same time but the other one does not exist anymore from what I have gathered.

The B75 was bought new by Crystal Motor Express in MA north of Boston as a tractor.  I got it as a basket case and stretched it out and made it into a tandem  It will never be done but I will get it close.  It also won't be perfect because than I wouldn't want to use it.

A 1986 LTL was next to the B75.  It had spent most of its life in VT but is now in MA.  The LTL was finished just a week or two before the show and is done very well.
