Hope everyone can attend.I saw a nice looking crackerbox GMC with a single axle flatbed on a trailer today headed south on 81 in Pa. I assumed it was headed to Huntsville, but I don't know who it was Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Just getting back from the Huntsville, AL show. Got to meet up with the bumblebee from this site, we both had a great time talking and walking trucks. I bet we walked 20 miles and didn't go far at all. I believe the oldest truck was a 1917 FWD Army Truck, we talked to the owner and he showed us things about his truck that was really impressive. We talked to a Mr. Wendle Curry of Athens, AL and he was truly a interesting individual. He was on a heart pump with filter. You would not have thought anything was wrong with him just by looking and talking with him but he is very lucky to be alive. He is one of the old veterans of trucking. We told him about our B Model Macks and he got very excited about them and told us old stories of when he drove and owned several B's. I now feel better about my B Model since I met Mr. Curry and him telling me some do's and don'ts about that model. I now know that I need a 4.65 ratio rears for mine and not the 5.39 that I have now. If you can think of Mr. Curry say a prayer for him to be well enough to enjoy trucks for a long time to come. And thanks to Bobby the Bumblebee for meeting me at the show, we were hoping to find some more of our friends from the BIG MACK TRUCKS web-site.Regardsmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Ya, this was the meeting place for the photo op. I did get to talk to Dr. Bill shorty as I was crawling around his W model as he walked up. He graciously told you to get in and take a look around. Told him I hadn't seen the little GMC since the ATHS video. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Bobby Covert Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Not exactly a garden spot in Lexington either. I used to be their delivery man(UPS) many years ago . They were good to me though.In case you didn't know that part of town was Davistown. Many people think of it as Irishtown, but it is not.
