ATCA National Show '17-Macungie, PA - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 06-20-2017, 10:35 PM

Here's another interesting truck that was for sale. It was probably a former fire truck. It had the 347/Hydraglide w/2spd rear!

**special-K** · 06-21-2017, 07:03 AM

This Studebaker was rally cool. I caught the guys unloading it andgot the story of it. It was owned by a Stude dealership and started off being a flatbed till '47. They needed a wrecker so they took the bed off a new 47 pickup and put the flatbed on that to sell. '47s are wider so they had to narrow the bed. Rear wheel track is the same so they added spacers between the bed and fenders. Custom-built out of necessity from Studebakers by a Studebaker dealer to haul Studebakers.

**special-K** · 06-21-2017, 07:09 AM

More pickups. There's a 6BT in that last IH:

Last 1. A Beiderman!

regan wilson · 06-21-2017, 08:23 AM

Great pics. That Biederman looks like the truck MP&C built the fenders for.

68panelman · 06-21-2017, 09:28 AM

[QUOTE=special-K;7972448]Oh ok, that was your truck! I regret never walking over there, now. My friend, Chuck, and I talked to your buddies last year on Friday night. Had a couple beers with them. So they've been into those a long time and are friends from way way back? The show passes so fast and this year on Friday we had people stopping by us so we never left the truck. Always great no matter what

I worked with Tommy, the owner of the command car, he's had it since 85. Last year I came early on Saturday. He ended up buying a 36 1 ton flatbed that was for sale in the loading area, handsome little truck. Wish it was a longer show.

I don't know who MP&C are, but they very well may have built those. Tell me more. All I know is the owner John Vanetta is from here in MD and has been working on that truck for years. I've heard about it and this is the first time it's been out, that I know of.

It really is too short to fully enjoy it all. It's a lot of trucks to see and you need to go over them several times to fully appreciate the one next to the one that grabbed your eye last time. Then there are the people. The friendliest happiest bunch of people gathered in one place. You make friends with those people and some you only see there. Te swap meet, swimming pool, and they offer tours of the Mack plant. We talk about taking that tour, but that's a big whole out of the short day. The show starts on Thursday I think. But 1/2 the trucks are there till Saturday when it seems no sooner has the last one shown, the first one is leaving

regan wilson · 06-23-2017, 07:45 AM

You can look way down in our forums in Alternate Tinkerings. They have a thread called (55 wagon progress). If you want to see some real metal working skills. Look far enough into the thread and you will see the truck.

**special-K** · 06-23-2017, 08:12 AM

Thanks. I started going through the thread but computer's moving sluggish. I'll look later. But I see MP&C is in the same town as John. I think that's a BINGO! Definitely some top metal working skills going on there. Good to know of him

flashed · 06-27-2017, 07:12 AM

Great pics as usual ,love them all.

CG · 06-27-2017, 08:43 AM

I know zero about the big trucks, but I do know they are cool. Love to see this show in person.

We have a tractor show out here every year, another thing I know zero about, but love going when I can just to wander round the show. Problem is its often the same time as Bonneville.

hewittca · 06-27-2017, 09:45 AM

What an awesome show! My son would be in absolute heaven here. I may have to consider making a ride up to it next year.

**robs71** · 06-27-2017, 04:52 PM

I missed 68panelman again!! oh well I got to check out his truck anyway..very nice piece.That yellow ford flat bed in post #26 sure sounded nasty.Great coverage as always Tim..thanks for taking time to share pics..Had a good time hanging out Saturday with you and Jim plus his family...see you in August...Rob

**Palf70Step** · 06-27-2017, 05:10 PM

Lots of great looking rides!

Thanks for the photo run K!

**jimer1964** · 06-27-2017, 05:37 PM

I love Trucks! Tim you did great on pictures. I was in amazement looking at all the Trucks to remember to take pictures!. It's great how many different big rigs people restore! Always good to see my Truck Friends Rob,Theresa and Tim!

alsriv2 · 06-27-2017, 06:08 PM

Thanks for sharing those pics Tim. Seeing the summer in full bloom almost makes me miss living there in Maryland, but enjoying SE Arizona too much now.

**davischevy** · 06-27-2017, 09:29 PM

I ALMOST feel guilty for sitting on my butt and drinking a beer while taking advantage of all your walking then posting.

Thanks for the tour.

**mongocanfly** · 06-27-2017, 10:26 PM

LOTS of nice trucks..
