- Hello! On Saturday my friend and I went to Macungie for the 50th anniversary of the show and it was a blast with a record turnout of 934 trucks! It was also nice the rain held off until everyone was leaving! I do plan on going truck spotting again, just don’t know when. Until then hope you enjoyed!

beautiful trucks
Well done!
Thanks!
The guy in the green Mack at 12:18 has the ultimate setup right there. Pulling a dropframe, the perfect RV conversion. Gear that tractor to the moon, rolling along at 80 wouldn’t be a problem, and the hills ? No sweat, I love it. Until you’ve had dinner prepared at 70 mph plus, you haven’t had a proper dining experience.
Honestly if I was driving 80 or any road and saw him comin the other way my jaw would hit the floor. We still have a few Diamond Rep’s roaming the area that look new!
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains it’s just a dream of mine to have the ultimate RV. All the power you’d ever need and to be able to unhook and ride around in a gorgeous vintage truck with modern running gear. C-15, 18 double over, the works. Love your vids brother, thanks a bunch.
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains I miss the days of seeing a bunch of different makes of truck on the roads, you knew the economy was doing well when there was a multitude of any type of business, I miss those days.
@@deborahchesser7375 You’re very welcome. Plus shall I say thank you for the positive comment. Even though production has definitely slowed during these harsh winter months here in PA it’s nice that people still find something to watch! Hopefully in the summer I’ll be truck spotting a little more. If I get a job as a trucker for a local company I might just upload daily videos of my journey!
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains thinking about driving as a career ? The way you already love trucks and trains you should love it. I drove in the early to mid 80’s before CDL’s hauling coal on mostly two lane mountain roads, I was thrown right to the wolves so to speak in a Mack DM800 Twin sticks 15 speed Tri-Plex, so I really learned how to drive and from the best, my uncle and cousins, in tough areas and conditions. I’m so thankful I had that chance. Let us know how the search for a driving job goes.
This show would be my personal El Dorado! Unfortunately I will probably never be able to visit them, so thanks for the video ...
No problem! It’s hard for some people to make it. I’m planning on going to another truck show and a few car shows if everything goes to plan. I’d go truck spotting again, but my car needs new brakes so we’re waiting on them to get changed.
awesome video....This show would be my personal El Dorado!
Thanks!
Love the comment on my air wiper on the green Astro It hasn’t worked right since the accident. It’s gotta have the front skin taken off switched over to electric next inspection
That was my friend. Lol. Sorry to hear about the accident. My friend has issues with his on his Peterbilt. I’ve always liked air wipers because it makes for neat movements.
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains in 07 a lady stopped short on rt42 had full load of corn on behind. Shot the car a Ford excursion near 100ft out. Pretty Mitch everything on the front was destroyed. Radiator front case. Ext. Was originally a big grill with the fleet Bumper She still livers her life on the farm with 890k on her
@@TheMeanGreenDetroitThing Damn. I just had a huge close call the other day with my car up on 437 near the train tracks. JB Hunt was waiting to turn and there’s a side road not too far down from the crossing. JB Hunt waited and a car came about a quarter ways out saw me and stopped. Now my car needs back brakes so if he kept going I woulda definitely kissed the car goodbye. He waved sorry as I shot around him blowing the horn. Glad the trucks ok though! Looks real good!

My uncle used to be a truck driver for a living I miss go on the road with him
Glad to hear your Uncle was many of the hero’s who keep us full and our cars running! My friends dad was a truck driver for Jevic and New Century for years and he always rode with him which made him become a truck driver.
I practically grew up in this town from 1965-1976 and vividly remember Das Awksht Fest. When did this Truck festival start?
That show was their 50th anniversary of doing the Macungie show so I’m assuming around 1971 they woulda most likely started doing the show.
so from the balance of brands present here we can conclude that Ford Trucks are extremely rare, and Ford cabovers from the 70s and 80s even more extremely rare amongst the extremely rare !
Yep. The LTL and CL 9000 are easily the two rarest Fords to come across although there was a CL9000 at the show!
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains thank you so much for the lovely reply. I am in Christchurch New Zealand and purchased a 1981 Ford CL9000 powered with an 8v92 detroit, sight unseen, from a person in Oak Harbour WA and had it shipped roro from Seattle to Japan then direct to NZ. Shes a runner but my intention is to bring her to the standard of the trucks shown in your video. The cost to transport 3/4 the way round the globe was 2 1/2 times the cost of purchase ! As far as I can tell, she is the only specimen of the Lousiville trucks in NZ. God Bless and God Speed ! Andy
@@andygreen685 No problem! That’s a rare one! Not many of them Fords had Detroits. Ford was a big CAT user. Most of their L8000’s have CAT’s or small block Cummins in them! Extremely rare to get a Ford with a Detroit! Even though I’m still in high school I’ve been looking at a few trucks. I don’t know which I want, but I’m thinking a conventional(hooded) truck to start with. My friend owns a Peterbilt 352 that he’s trying to restore and I’m hoping to get a walk around video of it before I upload a truck spotting in October video.
I like kw cabover
6:42 quite a familiar little truck
If only I could place my finger on where I’ve seen it.
Well... you’ll see it Tuesday 😉
(As of now, you’re the only one to know about this...
A fun little 512 video coming up Tuesday involving that truck)
@@trucksouteast Nice! Can’t wait to see that!
20:28 I ended up finding that truck next to a truck stop off 22. It’s still in service for light construction.
Eastern Truckspotting Do you mean the white frightliner if so that’s my dads it’s a ‘74 he uses it as his toy but yes sometimes he dose take it to the job site there off of old 22 and fills up at the truck stop there
Yup. That’s the one. Found it a few hundred feet down the road, drove up and asked if I could get a picture. Beautiful truck.
@@trucksouteast yeah it came a long way in past couple months of working on it

26:06 that blue Dodge to the left of the screen was by far my favorite truck there. No idea how long I stood next to it.
I can never pick favorites there because everything is so cool.
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains that’s true, just when you think you found your favorite, you see another truck that just resets the gauge.
@@deborahchesser7375 Yep. I gotta say the NEMF CH took the cake because I grew up local to them and they always came though my town. Heck one of my truck spotting videos I caught a New Penn combo which is EXTREMELY rare because YRC took them over.
@@Northeast_PA_Trucks_And_Trains I grew up riding coal trucks so when I see those square metal fenders and float tires I get excited. I love those old HD trucks, so purpose built.
I was wondering if someone old answer me a question I had to give up my cdl after 35 year's of trucking I want to buy an old peterbilt or a w900a kenworth to take to shows how do I register it I'm in Massachusetts and can I drive with out a call if I take the fifth wheel off anybody no????
Hello. If the vehicle is 25 years or older you shouldn’t need a CDL to drive it as long as if you register it as a “classic car” then it’s considered a car. If you don’t want to use it to work you need to put, “Not For Hire” on the side of it and it won’t matter if you have the fifth wheel or not. At least that’s how it is in PA.
Did you make it out this year?
I did, but my phone was so uncooperative it wasn’t even funny. Kept running out of space and died about halfway of me being in the show, so I only recorded a few trucks leaving before it died. So I have no video of the trucks leaving. Just a 24min video of basically the show itself. I don’t even have enough space to save the video and upload it. I also have a truck spotting video ready to go, but same thing. Hopefully soon I can get it. For me the show was a bust because of my phone because Macungie is such a huge video for the channel. I plan on going to Harford in September so hopefully that makes up for it.
I brought my computer with me for that reason. I only stayed for 1/3 of he convoy and that was 40 minutes of footage. My phone only holds about 25 minutes before tapping out (and that’s with everything completely cleared out)
@@trucksouteast Well my laptop needs a new battery, but my phone can easily record an hour of footage no problem. I only know that because I accidentally hit the record button and didn’t realize till my phone was almost dead and saw I had a random 2 and a half hour recording on my phone.
