Chain Drives. First one is an unrestored Hahn. I saw it running through the show, sounded good. Couldn't hardly hear it. Then Mack, then Autocar. That's it till later. More yet to come

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

A lot of impressive big Dodges showed up.

No 9500's again?

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Thanks for sharing the truck show photo's special K. I especially like the modern version of the old 5 hole Alcoa's on the Ford Louisville ( post 23 ), a must for the old school look!

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Tyhank you very much for the pics, fantastic coverage of a big show!

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

No Bill, not a single 9500 of any configuration. I think there were 6 Big Horns

Yeah, I really like those alloy Budds, at least that's what I call them since they look just like steel Budds. That first Mack B I showed I thought had them, but those are steel with chrome-look paint. It seems the working trucks I have seen wearing those wheels were always Internationals, not lately but not so long ago. Maybe 15-20 year old models. I assumed they were an International wheel. They look just right on the Louisville. They'd look great on a GMC 9500.

I have more to show now. I'll start off with Internationals, then Freightliner

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

I'm going to stop segregating the makes and roll on through the rest. My eyes aren't good enough to tell looking at small tiles and it's time consuming. Let's get this done!

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

I love this needlenose dump truck just as it is. But boy would it look sharp restored! I think this is my favorite heavy truck from the show. The second year I've seen it there

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

How about that doubled up double bunk? Last picture. Nice truck! Harrisonburg Motor Express has a handsome fleet. They still run that paint

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

My bud ray Slagle owns that Brockway rollback. Last year his freshly restored '59 Autocar tractor was picked for the dash plaque this year. He didn't bring it because of the rain. I don't blame him. Ray is a man about details and it shows on every inch of that truck.

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

My friend, the one I rode to the show with, recently did that mural work on this Peterbilt. I should have gotten a picture across the back. The owner hauls a dairy tanker to supply a local creamery that got started up not so many years ago. They have brought back door to door delivery and are doing well. That creamery is the subject of the mural... www.southmountaincreamery.com

The "other" Reo. He is a faithful attendee of this show

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Last pictures. I saved one of the finest for last, Ancient Iron is it's name. I hope you enjoyed the trucks. I like to look back at these show threads over the winter to fight boredom. I hope others might find that a good thing, too

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Looks like everything but showed up, lol. Me and you will have to buy one to have some there.

Nice group of Mack's, Brockway's, Pete's and KW's as well.

I am on the lookout for a 9500. Needs to be local though.

Great pictures as mentioned.

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Thanks Tim, people are going to regret missing this show, Pat. Hopefully good turnout for ATHS Harrisonburg in June.

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Pat, Your trucks look great. Is your Red C-60 sporting that new drivers side fender?

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Great show. A bunch of rare Dodge trucks, 3 Big Horns and a stunning Detroit powered CNT-900.

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Yes Bill, passengers side new old stock as well, wasn't going to replace this winter but covid slow down made it easier to fit in shop. Hope to meet you at Harrisonburg. Pat

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Hey Pat, I love your 66. My 63 c10 was the same color way back when, so I always enjoy seeing factory examples. It gives me motivation to keep going with mine. Eventually, it will look like a factory paint job again

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

CW, wait till you hear about the other LCF Pat acquired earlier this year. It's up to him to tell and I'll leave it at that!

I have owned a few GM Trucks in that timeless green. From '40s to the '92 GMC I ordered. Woodland Green is what it was most commonly called. GM hasn't offered it since maybe '84 in it's selection after being consistently offered all through the years. It remains a fleet selection and when I ordered my '92 I was fortunate to have them make an exception for me... if I'd be willing to wait until at least five orders for it came in. All in all it took 6 months to get that truck, Jan-June. But not only due to paint. I think it took a 6 week wait on that to begin my order.

Boy I will say that Louisville w/Detroit was a meticulous and tastefully done truck for sure.

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

It's a green that's so good, and I like it a lot, that I can't paint my truck any other color once I get to that point. Sounds like it should be fairly easy to get that color in a modern paint since it was used for so long

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

Christian, that color is available, any quality paint jobber can mix it for you. Base coat clear coat turns it a different shade but looks amazing. The green lcf 60 I have owned for twelve years, but recently acquired a Napco 4wd package for and am leaning towards installing on that truck, what's your thoughts on that.

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

How does one acquire a napco 4x4 package in 2020? More pics and a little back story would be greatly appreciated :D

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

I bought used unit, the rears are same ratio so only front end needs going through. Considering for winter project. My garage is nearly full. Pat

Re: 16th Annual Tri-state Antique truck Show.
 

That's great to hear. I think that will make my decision about giving it a paint job much easier, but first, I've got to fix all the holes :lol:

Hmm, considering the Napco stuff was added on to trucks, and that you have had it is stock form for so long, why not go ahead with it? Change it up for a little, and if you end up not liking it as much, you could always put it back to stock. Also, that is one BEEFY sway bar on the front

I have zero experience with the big trucks though, but I've wanted one for awhile now. Hopefully someday I'll have my 63 as my nice cruiser, a 60-66 suburban as my family hauler, a 40 series or higher with either a roll back or ramp body on the back, and maybe add a short bed truck in there for all the go fast parts. Good thing I've probably got plenty of years to do all that!
