The Powerball

[1958 F.W.D.]

When I win, I will buy everyone an antique Mack of your choosing. Restored, unrestored, what have you. The only stipulation is that it may have zero electronic anything. 

[1965]

How many tickets have you bought?

[Red Horse]

[j hancock]

Excellent!   I have one picked out already for purchase!

Uhhh,  you didn't win....   Maybe next time.

Hopefully the winner has a good lawyer and accountant to properly manage that pot of gold!

Ahh!  Very interesting information!

Maybe with his new found wealth that high rise beach house from his summer vacation could become one of several vacation houses!  He probably will make a play on the "Breakers" in Newport so that he can have fresh lobsta everyday!  Plus, Jay Leno has his place just down the street.

Funny I  If he won, I saw him collecting all the Detroit Diesels in the U.S.

What would you do if ya won the Lottery?      Easy,   I'd just keep collecting & trucking until the money was gone.

I would build a ton more of houses to give to brother vets and their families in need, other than my wife passing,  I'm pretty happy with most of what life has dealt me.

In all seriousness, if I did win:

1. Go dark. Turn off all cell phones, emails etc. 
2. Lawyer
3. Claim cash option
4. Pay off all current debts
5. Establish portfolios and accounts for the four kids (with stipulations, they ain't just "gonna get it when they turn 18.)
6. Pay off all my close friend's mortgages. But thats all, I am not gonna "enable" everyone. 
7. Charitable Contributions: The Mack Museum, the Brockway Museum, ATCA (ATHS Can go scratch) and some animal-related charities. 
8. Establish and build my antique truck and firetruck restoration business
9. Buy my dream cars: 1969 429 Boss Mustang, 1968 Charger, 1970 Hemi-Cuda, 1960 Buick Invicta Convertible, and a few others.

Just curious because I do not know much about the distinction, why?

[1958 F.W.D.]

ATCA: Antique Truck Club of America 

ATHS: Antique Truck Historical Society. 

DISCLAIMER: Understand that this is completely my opinion, but I am sure there are others who may feel the same way. You have to know both groups for some time to understand that ATHS seems to be administrated by a bunch of stubborn old men, set in their ways and are completely incapable of flexibility or compromise. They do not care in any way to cater to the younger crowds who will someday be running their organization and in fact (again my opinion) do what they can to run off younger members. 

ATCA: The "Blue Collar" truck club
ATHS: The "White Collar" truck club.

I agree. The ATCA people are just as nice as they can be. The ATHS people on the other hand- remember the pictures that I took at the Winchester show, in 2006 I believe, that Old Bill put on his website, with a link to the ATHS website? The guy that did their website I believe, can't remember his name, or I would damn sure say it, contacted me and said they wanted me AND Old Bill to come to Winchester the following year, they would pay for everything, and they wanted me to take the pictures for them again. I said "great", but I never heard another word about it. I e-mailed what's-his-name back later to ask about it, and he said something like "and who the hell are you?'' and pretty much suggested that I go have sex with myself.

And when I sent truck show pictures to them for their website they would post them on the truck show page, but under that other guy's name, that I also can't remember, never giving the photographer credit. No big thing, but still, I took the pictures and took the time to send them, it just looked like they would mention that they were my pictures.

I'm still a member because I do like the magazine, but as a group the ATHS can pound sand...or go have sex with themselves.
