"The Greatest Truck Show on Earth" Macungie 2024

Walk around with me at the 2024 Macungie truck show in Pennsylvania.

[@tomdelia1209]

Mike you got the absolute essence of this show. Not only the trucks, but the all the awesome people who drive them, and keep the spirit alive of antique trucks!!! Even the guy changing his radiator 😅

[@bluehills38]

Yeppers it was pretty spectacular 👍🇺🇸

[@AKIMBOASSASSIN67]

I grew up outside of Macungie. My dad's side of the family was mostly employed at the Mack plant there during they're heyday in the area

[@waynemacdougall8213]

I have a super liner hear in Nova Scotia love your video mine is 1980 with a bunk

[@TheBostonTrucker]

very cool 😎

[@JMACK1]

Got to love them Macks!

[@russellspawn7123]

You should have your own table and booth... Awesome trucks! Great coverage. I hope to make that show some day myself...

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Lol that'll never be me! 😂

[@christrella3134]

Excellent. PA is " Mack" central. Marmon might have been made in Texas. But, there's a lot of them in PA as well. Macungie is a spectacular show filled with awesomeness. The people and their trucks, Or? If you prefer? The trucks and their owners and drivers and admirers. I live further west, about a hour. Originally from NJ. Always had family in PA. Can't believe you've never been there! Glad it was more than you hoped for and you'll be back! God bless and safe travels.

[@TheBostonTrucker]

I'm still coming off the high that is Macungie a day later! 😁

Haven't seen a Brockway cabover in year's! Or a diamond reo cabover. Kenneth Osborne Jr dad had some. Seeing them old macks brings back a lot of memories. The international transtar we had was a 290 cummins 10 speed and no power steering i was with you on that thought. Thanks for sharing safe travels buddy.

Hey Happy Father’s Day Mike! Nothing beats that sound of an R Model. Grew up around trucks. I remember as a kid the one thing I wanted for my birthday one year was a bulldog hood ornament! My mom took me to the Mack dealer and bought me one. One of the coolest experiences I remember from back then.

[@Firemann487]

Gotta love the dump truck from “Die Hard with a Vengeance”!!

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Wait! What? 😲 Which one was that?

[@joeapplebaum3763]

Great video! I wish more people would leave their doors open so we can see inside. The inside can be just as interesting as the outside.

I totally agree!

[@scottyb2727]

My favorite truck there was that day cab LTL Ford tri axle tractor

[@bush600r2]

What a great line up of beautiful classics. Thankyou👍 A question for you Mike, why is it that there's never many old Western Stars at your shows over there do you know? Talking about the old heritage models likes of the black one you showed, 80s and 90s models and earlier, they are such cool trucks but never seem to see many at your shows or is it that no one really videos them much, I don't know?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

That's a good question, there were a good amount at this show but you're right, we don't see to many up here for some reason.

[@erikthorstensen5185]

At the 24:20 mark the blue and white Cabover 1953 w71 mack. In the late 90's into the 2000's the owner of that truck was in some VHS videos. The second video was all on 2 stick trucks,and how to drive them. This truck pulling a step deck trailer loaded with old farm tractors. Traveling around the hills of Colorado. A camera focused in on his shifting.and another camera guy in probably a pickup truck going through its paces. The driver was a trucker back in the day. But he was a licensed dentist by trade. Unfortunately, he past years ago. Its nice to see Dr. Bill's truck in good hands. The videos are on KZbin.

[@glindabeaven6805]

Another great video Mike i really enjoy these and the shows you attend. Dont get me wrong but to me these trucks and the type shows they are are way better than MATS or any custom shows .I guess im just old school but these trucks were what i saw as a kid and have run up and down the road with .I appreciate the new custom trucks and they are beautiful but the Macks Brockways and the cabovers are where its at for me. By the way i always thought the International Transtar were great looking trucks I drove one some for a buddy of mine pulling a dump trailer. My favorite truck in the world is the 359 Peterbilt and the 352 Peterbilt COE

[@tomdelia1209]

Awesome Post Mike!!! I can’t believe this was your first time there!!!! Bet it won’t be your last buddy!!!!

[@LarsLilleby]

Great video as usual Mike. I think you need a Mack on your driveway after this, don't you think?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

Perhaps 😁

[@TheMeanGreenDetroitThing]

Man I missed you their pulled out around 3

[@SmithFarmTilton]

@ 1:03:08 Anyone know if the burgundy / red ex hood A model from Ploch Farms was Hank Beaulieu's truck ? If so, glad it went to a good home. Hank would have been a great candidate for an interview on the good old days of outlaw truckin'. The world is worse off since he passed. I could listen to his tall trucker tales all day.

[@glindabeaven6805]

I worked with a guy for years who said Mack was a mans truck. He was bulldog thru and thru

[@TimBullins-z2z]

That guy said the old timers man I drove those old Mack's when they had the still dash and then the ugly beige interior and then the black hell i guess I Am a old timer😅

[@That.Clean.357]

53:26 was prob the best part 😭

[@mikesullivan7224]

What does the gold engine mean?

[@TheBostonTrucker]

All Mack!

[@jamesmackay8062]

Technically your now a “vintage Mack guy” 😂

[@TimBullins-z2z]

3408 in a single axle truck what a waste 😅

[@rpier8357]

Too bad today’s Mack’s aren’t anything like they were but then again no truck is.
