ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

Last weekend, Fathers Day, was a great show once again. It was 100% better than last year (no show :rolleyes:). Between 800-900 trucks in all. I didn't get them all, but I hope I got a good sample of what there was to see

First two pictures I took from the truck, '58 REO, while Chuck was registering

B model Mack to Needlenose Pete, I walked enough to hurt my feet

REd, yellow, green, or blue, they were all brought for you to view

I know I said these trucks are best, but it's come the time for me to rest.

If you liked these and want to see more, you better come for another look for sure.

My poke and peckin' finger is achin' and my gut says it's time for bacon.

If these rhymes are getting to be too much, remember I could try singing and such.

To be honest I don't think I can stop. Lord when I go to town I hope I don't get stopped by a cop.

Can you imagine how that might go, trying to explain in rhyme why I wasn't going slow?

Finally, some 9500's !!

Great pictures as usual Tim.

Thanks Tim!

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

You're welcome and much more to come... hopefully this evening.

Yeah Bill, I was glad to see there were some at this one. Stay tuned. I have a full side shot of that dark blue one, sexy profile it is.

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

Just amazing to me. They fired that Caterpillar up. Took a while. Operator starts it by inserting a rod into one of the holes in the exposed flywheel and giving it all he has... a lot of times. He was saying it was starting hard due to the heat. I wonder how it does in the cold. That was a real man's job operating one of those back then

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

Lots of really cool stuff. Thanks for posting Tim.

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

You're welcome. I'm glad to know you appreciate the trucks. I have a lot more pictures but I pooped out. Maybe later :)

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

You're welcome. I hope you can check a show out one year. This one's in PA but the ATHS's show migrates around the country year to year, bouncing from region to region. I was able to catch their show in York, PA in '15 and this year I got to go because it was in Harrisonburg, VA

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

5 more. That last truck is one of my all time favorites. He has had that truck and trailer a long time. I think he's retired now but he used to come in from a haul.

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

Perkins diesel from factory in that Jeep

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

Thanks for sharing. Some rare stuff in there. I spotted a W9000 Ford in one of the pictures next to the A-Car! Beasts...

P.s Like the first photo of the thread. There is a GMC DF860 Cannonball actually local to me. Sitting in the weeds since late 1997 or 98. I got a tip from a friend about it. It's rough But supposedly all complete. I'm just wondering if the $5000 he is asking is a "Fair price or up-to-date price?". I know they're hard to find nowadays.

Re: ATCA National Show/Macungie, PA '21
 

Truck prices have begun rising due to more interest. I guess that's not a crazy price these days. It has sat, most likely, because the big trucks are not so easy to dispose of. They don't even bring as much at the scrap yard as light vehicles and not as easy to drag in. Many of the beautiful restorations in this thread could have been given to the owners for the taking. But I believe those days are gone
