    HA! I drive by the replica truck on a daily basis, those guys run the Ace store about a half mile from my house here in Sparta, WI. Actually seen the old rig on a flatbed back when they got it. I was wondering what they were up to. Cool find.

    They sure did a beautiful job on that original truck. Word has it that they sold the 1984 replica K100 Aerodyne they have had for some time, and it lives out east now. So if you see a BJ truck around, it is probably the original from the show, out working for a living all these years later!

    It wasn't the Sagehorn's rig, that's for sure.

    I know they were driving the Movin' On Kenworth they also own back and forth across the country over that weekend.

    How was the Englishtown show? I had military duty that weekend and couldn't make it - the weather probably was a bit of a downer.

    Don't happen to have any pictures of the BJ replica you saw at Englishtown, do you?

    I was in central PA that day, weather was lousy - thought it would be back in NJ too, but glad to hear it was a good day!

    Definately appreciate it if you can find the pics of that BJ replica truck elsewhere - I have a soft spot for KW100 Aerodynes painted like that...must be a strong imprint from childhood (the good lookin' girls that were on the show had NOTHING to do with it! :biggrin_255:)

    Of course, I had always wanted to fly fighters when I was little, too, and look where it got me...
