Bhigdog Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) ThisFriday Saturday and Sunday at Macungie, PA.... Free admission, flea market, and the most impressive collection of antique big iron imaginable. Forecast is clear skies, 75 deg. Trucks from Canada to Florida make the show every Fathers Day weekend. Some of the restorations are mind boggling in size, work required and quality. I'll have my pip squeek 39 Chevy JC pick up there..................Bob Edited June 12 by Bhigdog (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenie Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 We will see you there, Friday. I hope your weather forecast holds true, but my phone says 86. Always a huge and impressive display of trucks from small to huge. The swap meet, like DAF held here later on, is shrinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 We,re here now. Scored a shady spot. Beautiful weather. Just played the anthem. Could have heard a pin drop. All talking stopped. All hats removed. Every body respectfully standing facing the flag. What a great assembly of iron and people.......bob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I see kids in the background. Kids naturally love trucks and big machines. Let's hope they don't lose the magic. If they don't, our hobby will live on. Thanks fer the pics Bob! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 That's a Rampside. Innovative with that midships loading ramp. There were also Loadside versions with only the rear tailgate, which was inconvenient to get stuff in and out of the forward section of the load floor. Cool then and cool now.

I really liked it. It was fun invoking Ralph Nader's name to the owner. Went from 0 to 60 on the pissed off scale in no time flat.............Bob 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
