MyClassicCarTV , tell us that this is just part 1 and part 2 and 3 is coming soon
Great video!!!
MyClassicCarTV
I’ve been watching Dennis For probably 20+ years & I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this episode before but this is one of my favorites. I’m an everything auto kinda guy and I loved this because it’s machines I’ve most likely never seen & these are work horses too. I’m blue collar and I respect the hell outta these trucks doing a lifetime worth of work than restored and treated like the polished trailer queens they are. Freakin amazing machines.
MyClassicCarTV , Totally Fake Dennis , this was all done with Diesel smoke and side mirrors
What's there any trucks from tackaberry construction at the show??
"It's hard to own just one." Never a truer word spoken.
That ugly truck is gorgeous!
It's nice to see Dennis, who is obviously such a huge car guy, really and honestly be so impressed with the big trucks as well. I would love to own a nicely done big rig and take it to car shows so that the car guys and gals can see that there is another world of beautiful and stylish vehicles out there too.
Plenty of the old girls around man
You'll get a chance
M Whitelaw There’s plenty of 70s rigs just waiting for some new airbrushing.
Dennis is cool and crazy, But your Not supposed to grind gears!
@@BrownSofaGamer
Don't forget the pinstripes man
Can't be groovy without some pinstripes!!
If I remember that Oshkosh tow truck was an OVERDRIVE wrecker of the month in the 70s. Very cool.
Yes , I believe so , I was a subscriber at the time and that beast caught my eye . They also showed the original picture of it as a cement mixer .
August 1978
Dealer: We got Cabovers, and Curb sniffers. Which would you like?
Operator: Yes
Josef Robbins lol 😂
LoL 😂, good one.
I've drove several those old Oshkosh cement mixers in Chicago, they rode like riding a rock, took corners like a house, but you could not stop them
@Paul Kersey they didn't put auto trans in those back in the day. Brother with all the axles locked on when leaving the road the would go anywhere. I had mine in shit to where you could only see the top few inches of the tires and it just kept going and going. Great vehicle. It really was. Take care
@Paul Kersey I swear they could climb a vertical wall if you took your time lol. It was the best job. I aldo drove 6 axle Advance front discharge Transit mix trucks the had 10 speed automatic transmission in which I didnt care for cause I fell I you have more control with the manual transmission. Those things were tanks. Where else can you go and get paid great money to drive off road with something like that. It like never growing up, it's just that my sandbox got bigger lol. Tonka to Oshkosh. Paul and can talk about that stuff all day lol.
Nope they would go just about anywhere.
These 100 year old trucks are amazing! So very simple in design and mechanics... It kind of makes me wonder how "simple" our modern 2020 trucks will look to the people living in 2120, and all the amazing advances that will be made up to that time period. It blows my mind!
Should have been two hours long. To much cool stuff we didn't get to see.
That's just what I was thinking.
Totally agree!
Absolutely - more time and less rushing.
OK! Here's some bonus footage - th-cam.com/video/zL2uTkqHkJ0/w-d-xo.html
Way too many 2-3 second shots ruin it.
When the guy interviewing really knows his stuff and asks all the right questions it makes for a more genuine experience. It's like their all your old buddies.
Oh hes pretty knowledgeable, he's done a few collabs with Jay Leno
As a Aussie i love the ute part GM part Holden motors RIP! And the big rigs were stunning. I also love the stories each one has to tell.
thanks for sharing your diversity of interests in automobiles.
Those trucks are amazing .
That milk truck is amazing
Ok. Now I need to add this truck show to my “must get to” list!
That Chevy Ute is amazing. Crazy that something similar was still made by Holden up until 2017.
The guy who designed the last Holden Utes is now head of Cadillac design .
I like utes
I have a deep felling for old trucks. There was junk yard close to where I grew up in the mid to late 60's that had all kinds of really cool looking old trucks that were worn completely out that we as kids would play in , imagining powering the behemoths down the road. What fun we had and then one day they were all gone... scraped.
Everyone focuses on the old cars. Nice to see the big trucks get some attention!
I've been to the Macungie show with my dad and his 42 KB IH pickup back in the early 80s. He was a member of the ATCA North Jersey Chapter and at the time he recieved a prize for being the farthest truck driven to the show at that time. Even back then that meet was huge, and it just started. Mack trucks sponsored the meet and used to have shuttle buses that would run all day back and forth to their plant for a free tour. Once you were at the plant you got on a tram train and they drove you around the assembly plant. I don't know if they still do that, I haven't been there in 30 years but my dad went every year right up to his passing in the late 90s. As a 14 year old kid who loved trucks (Convoy, Smokey and the Bandit probably had something to do with that). It was like being at the candy store. Great show and great people, one of my dads friends gave me my first beer out of a hidden cooler (my whole family is tall, I was over 6' in grammar school) he probably thought I was 18.
"Ugly" is brilliant. That is for town semi-trucks, busses etc. It is small considering it's job. The short wheelbase makes it more maneuverable, better able to get in the right position to lift a wreck.
Fancy new and old cars get a lot of attention but it's nice to see some new and old work horses get it too. Great show!
I love when other countries get both confused and excited seeing a ute. They are so common here in Aus that i sometimes take them for granted. But they are an icon, and i get a bit chuffed seeing other people appreciate them.
I Iove it im from NZ and have a VY 2 R8 Maloo
I'm from the US, and I don't get confused by them. I'm probably in the minority though.
We had El Camino and Ranchero in the states, no big deal.
@@TheRoadhammer379 That, and the GMC Sprint and Caballero, Dodge Rampage and Plymouth Scamp. But Australia had car-based pickup trucks before we did.
Portland, Michigan, about 40 minutes from my home, has an Ugly Truck of its own. Same story - Oskosh mixer converted to an extreme recovery vehicle. It's red, a beautiful machine.👍
I'm a huge Dennis Gage fan he is the coolest guy got to meet him at my high school my teacher surprised me with him👍🤘🙂
I got to meet him in Seaside Oregon, He is great and fun the hang out with.
@@dirtberger4533 gost storiea
I’ve met him as well he definitely struck me as a very down to earth humble kind of guy. He liked my mint 79 Dodge Challenger I had back 10 years ago. If he sees this comment he will remember me.
Thanks for opening up this whole other can of worms. My brother has an old dump truck and it's intimidating to work on, everything is hard and heavy.
Great to show the Aussie chev ute, I was born in the later years of that era and cannot remember seeing a chev ute like that.
Hoover Stone Quarry!
That’s still active and just a few miles from here!
So cool to see!
Love all the trucks!
Yes I live just down the road from Hoover's.
We never got c series in australia but ive bought and e series and my next step is to import a c series to add to my collection, the indian pacific was my inspiration
That Oshkosh is awesome. About 40 minutes from my home there's an even bigger one, also a former cement truck, owned by a recovery service. It's used infrequently for some specific tasks.
I remember a flat bed, 3 axle truck we used in the Construction Field Forces of Southern California Edison. This was back in the early 1980's. We built high tension tower lines throughout So. Cal..
It was an FWD, and looked like a military surplus. It drove like a tank and it's suspension was so stiff, that even with a full load of insulators it was like riding a hard tail Harley. You just bounced along for the ride. We also had a 1958 International Harvester set up as the "Tensioner" for when we were pulling wire and sagging between towers. That was an awesome job for a 19 year old to hire in fresh out of college.
I always wondered if it was the same Co. as that old 4X truck in this vid.
we love our trucks in wisconsin! my uncle works for oshkosh truck and it was really cool seeing that four wheel drive truck
Great video.
As an Aussie so wonderful to see Jon Milton's Chevrolet. So similar to the early Holden FX (48-215) and FJ utes, in the tray area and interior.
Sadly the Aussie ute is dead now. But with guys like Jon these older ones will live on.
throw a couple of koalas in the back and you are good to go
Wrecker sets a new high. Thanks from Thailand.
I love this man's energy! Reminds me a bit of the historic expert Phineas Kastle on Pawn Stars... 🤔
Dennis, I am 71 and I remember seeing chain drive dump trucks in the Wilkes-Barre ares when I was a kid ( may still be ) when my father went there to buy tires for his car carrier ( 4 cars on a WHITEHEAD and KALES trailor ) trucks.
C cab Mack's have a special place in my heart.
My uncle kept one alive from 1938 up to 1986.
The very first truck I ever had a ride in.
The hook was set
amazing! must be one of the best truck shows on the planet 😊 if I ever visit USA this show goes on my must-see list 😁
I fell in love with a '40s FWD snow plow at Ritchie Bros in Sacramento. It had hydraulic 4-wheel steering and ran a Waukesha gas 6, and a Sno-Go snow blower powered by a positively enormous Climax gas 6. I wish I had the space and the money at the time.
Love that someone brought the Crosley pickup out to show it off next to the big rigs! Lol
Dennis, I remember miniature DIVCO trucks that were driven around at the BLOOMSBURG FAIR in Bloomsburg, Pa. when I was a little kid.
Chevrolet Bison!
The magnificent beast!
Good to see you, we actually got to hang out some in Seaside Oregon a very long time ago. Hope you make it back some day. Thanks for all the great videos!!
Dennis, My Classic Car, whoever, I would PAY GOOD MONEY for a much, much longer version of this, even if it was just raw footage! Amazing show!
th-cam.com/video/zL2uTkqHkJ0/w-d-xo.html
Dennis, thanks for sharing your time and boundless enthusiam!
My pleasure!
Really interesting. A dream for us gear heads!
That UTE is pretty cool too !
The Mack is lovely but OMG that Divco!
Back in the 50s my grandparents had a home milk delivery business and had 3 Divcos. My dad would get up early and do the route in our home town and then go to school with the truck. We were a small town in the Appalachian mountains and he was one of only a few kids that drove to school (some actually had farm tractors). Picture that! Being a cool kid in the fifties because you drove a Divco to school. lol
What an amazing amount of cool trucks! So much history and some really different models! Hope there is a part two!Thanks!
That Oshkosh is awesome love the front wheels.
Very cool .................................................. 👍👍👍
Perfect tow truck for the new snowrunner offroad game 👌👍
My kind of show, I love old trucks.
This event looked like heaven on Earth! Of course, it's in Pennsylvania...so much history there, as do our trucks!
I’m not specifically a car guy, but I’ll look at anything from the past. I love old
Machines, and anyway to get a little
Bit closer to days gone by
Oh my lord, would I love to have that Ute. That 216 would wing you around pretty good on a gravel road.
Thank you for your efforts to bring us Truck guys a great show we could never get to there are some really unique and cool trucks at this show my friend . Appreciate you very much thanks again
The 4 wheel drive motor co is SICK
when your bucket list is not big enough .. got to be there ... should be here ..thanx ...
Love the Aussie Ute we know what we wanted even back then.
Very cool -thanks. I enjoyed the 2 wreckers. I've never seen anything like them.
Ugly is beautiful!
It would take a season worth of shows to just catch a few trucks from each decade that attend the Antique Truck Club of America National Meet. This is a show you have to see in person, which is why it is known as "The greatest antique truck show on earth!"
This video totally deserves the rating it has right now... really interesting stuff!
I remember a wreaker in alberta , could pull up by semi that was sunk in snow in the ditch , lift the whole truck and trailer and set them on the road
Love the Mars lights on the front
Wow! Very cool. I love this kind of stuff.
Man what a beautiful beautiful show
My favorites are the r model Macks from the 80s when they figured out how to make them pull with just a 5-speed and still run 70 miles per hour with a 300 4 valve engine
I had the pleasure of driving several 70s and 80s Mack R 600 700 and a Superliner , I still can't get enough info or pictures of them.
They were alot better with a 12spd , same design , just longer , and the 300 4v was a magnificent engine .
I love the look of the older Osh Kosh trucks!
Beautiful video you shared with us, sorry it was short, there was a lot to be shown.
One of the best shows in the country luckily I get to go every year
When and where is this show?
@@levikelly7926 June 19 and 20th at Macungie park in Macungie Pennsylvania a few blocks from the Mack truck plant you can go on a tour of the plant
I really hope you visit this show again in the future! One of the coolest episodes you've ever made! :)
Wow...just wow! I know they are primitive but god they are all so beautiful. So much character in each one. Excellent video! And the stache looks great!
Great show! Thanks Dennis:)
I'm from South St. Louis Missouri & I remember those trucks very well Breckenridge Cement Company. The cabs & cement turner were yellow & the rest of it was black. Those were about 90% of the fleet a total of about 25-30.
Damn! That's enough old trucks to drain a Love's station in an hour!
Thank You , What an incredible show
I just love his enthusiasm
fire equipment inspector- inspected a Oshkosh Wildland fire truck with water tank and nozzles, had a Cummins engine
Him and that truck are my heros. Also I like the other older trucks.
wow, great to see a truck show on this channel. Awesome stuff.
What the truck! That's trucking awesome. Cheers!
Beautiful units. Thanks to all for their work and passion. The “Ute” is shortened from ‘utility truck’ and was and is supremely popular in Oz. Their work utility has been usurped by efficient trailers and most modern ute owners are a bit more concerned with the $40-$80,000 price tag and premium paint job to use these vehicles most effectively. Besides the designs today are all for looks, the sides are too high to sling a load over while the back access is also so high that you have to clamber aboard to retrieve most loads. The twin cab Ute is almost the most popular car in Australia, generally FWD and powered by a diesel, it is also often equipped with a canopy over the tray which makes it a rough and ready station wagon.
I'm not Australian, but I'm still familiar enough with the Utes of Australia, where I wouldn't need that much of an explanation from the owner. It comes with being a big car freak. I've got to find the time to head to one of these shows before I die.
@@Gecko88 or, in the case of one of the trucks in this video, FWD = Four Wheel Drive Truck Co., AKA FWD truck. Seagrave fire engines is a division of FWD.
those air cooling fins on the exhaust manifold of the 1919....
beautiful
TheMegaspenny that’s Haines of Haines and kibble house the biggest earth moving company in pa
Best. Episode. Ever. Well done Sir, well done
a great Uncle of mine was a long haul driver in the 60s no AC,radio, or any creature comforts as I’ve talked with his son who did some ride alongs growing up he also used to siphon his deisel out of the truck to fill up his furnace tank ! My Grandfather had a chai drive Mack truck he used in his cemetary tombstone business hauling granite and Marble it had a long overhead Boom on it with a chain hoist some of the Divco models make cool hotrods
Welcome, Thanks, Great
Nice classic trucks Dennis greetings from Mexicali Baja California from the infernal heat of the southwest to the northeast 🍻🍺🍻🍺cheers 👍🏼
Dennis, you need to make several episodes out of that truck show!!! Excellent episode. Thanks
Yup, I remember the ugly, good old Pete use to own and drive but now same place turned into wawa. Actually it was in Franklin township not New Brunswick right on Lincoln hi way. Rout 27. Those were the good old days.
Al Demir Pete was one of a kind.
@@LetsFNgo
Eczacly, he was lot older than me he was nor only gentleman but also kind man, he did towing for me for many years. Wishing you guys well as always
Nice to see “Ugly” I wonder what happened to its stable mate “slo poke” the silent hoist rotating crane.
Oh man, as someone who has driven delivery for a living, that Divco would have been a dream to deliver with. You could just hop on and off of it from the side. You can tell that the tiller steering set up worked well by the fact that they used it for 26 years. I'm really surprised it survived. I bet it was worn down to a nub.
That 71 Oshkosh is exactly what I drove back in the mid eighties and 90's with a Tri-axle Transit mix " cement truck body , think mine was a 69 if I am remembering correctly. They put a 10 speed Fuller in it at one point cause a 30 speed was difficult for some of the drivers since it was used as a spare. Three stick shifts scared a few people lol. Had a Detroit 8 v71 at the time. Pulled like crazy and had that screaming motor in it. Miss those days
Another great Video Dennis i loved the oldest Divco i had seen that truck somewhere else I too loved the newer ones
This was GREAT! Always feels like for every 1,000 classic cars, there's 1 truck. :p
that's really awesome! I ran across your video and I've subscribed, thanks for sharing and my compliments sir
There are some seriously beautiful trucks in this lot! I am a huge fan/owner of a couple OshKosh trucks same cab and interior of 'Ugly" and its an Ex-Navy snowplow truck and it also has a CAT engine and I have an OshKosh M977 HEMTT this one has a turbo/supercharged Detroit 8V92 in it. I like all the trucks but think OshKosh will always be my favorite!
I thought that Ute was a studebaker with the first quick clip......That is awesome tho, learned something very interesting today. Thank you!
Damn pandemic. I miss going to stuff like this.
If we all do the right things now, we'll be back at it sooner!
We still use Oshkosh trucks for plowing snow here in eastern Canada ...We have 4 of them from the 70s that we use in heavy snowfalls and for pushing back the snow when it gets to heavy for plowing with the tandem trucks . They are very uncomfortable and noisy but at the same time are fun because they have so much power .. There such an old work horse.
Awesome show
