    [QUOTE="semi" retired;4473702]Hi truckdad, thanks, just love the old iron. I was a member of ATHS for many years. I had a 1949 Diamond T pickup like this for many years. Had to sell it (stupid ex-wife) and my '72 Pete in my signature pic. I ran RR trailers out of Chicago with it for a while, but again, had to sell (stupid ex-wife). Never should have sold the Pete. Had a dash very similar to yours. I also had a 1985 359 daycab, I was going to make a motorhome out of, but ran out of steam (and money) Also, my '82 Western Star. That was a good old truck.Thanks again.

    Hi OLDSKOOLER, oh, you know how it is. Everything starts out sunshine and smiles, and goes downhill from there. Looking back , as an old fart, there were plenty of signs, but I was blinded by her good looks.( thinking with the "little 'semi' retired) I did get 2 wonderful kids out of the deal, and don't have to listen to her "chainsawing", so it all came out in the wash.

    Here is a 1952 KW I saw at the 09 show in Huntsville. This type of rig was used by many of the cross-country heavyhaulers back in the day.. Inside that sleeper is a wood stove, 1/2 cord of wood, 2 chickens, a goat, washtub & a banjo hangin on the wall, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a butter churn in there somewhere............. All useful stuff while waiting for a permit, curfew to lift, snowstorm,or a 34 restart. Probably could have seen some NWT roads?? IMG_0096.jpg

    "Semi" I took a close look at the original with a mag glass & there is a stack there, it must be painted silver as it blends in with the background. No idea what that badge under the Mack emblem is??Note the fuel tank, it is for diesel or gas but I assume diesel. Later today I will put up a pic of one with a butane tank on the side...Hall-Scott for sure![QUOTE="semi" retired;4484288]I don't see a stack, this could have been a gas job. I see a badge under the word Mack, but can't make it out. Hall-Scott maybe?[/QUOTE]

    Thanks, truckdad, I've seen this truck before, but can't find any info on it. I thought, something about an older couple that just drove around in it, like a motorhome. It also has a 3 lane bowling alley.:biggrin_2559:
