Just curious if anyone here is a member, as I'm thinking of joining. I don't know much, but this looks like a way to learn.

 

What would the perks of being a member be?

 

I've been a member of the American Truck Historical Society for about 12 years now. They put out a great bi-monthly magazine, Wheels of Time that has very good articles on trucks and trucking history. You'll also receive an issue of Show Time which has photos of all the trucks attending the national show, usually at least 500 antique trucks. They also have a web site American Truck Historical Society that has a very active discussion forum.

I have three antique trucks, a '51 White WC22PLT with Jumbo cab, '56 White WC22PLT and a '59 White 4400TD. The '56 and '59 are restored and taken to shows. I'm also president of our local ATHS chapter, the East Texas Wildcatters.

 

Scott - I've been a member for a couple years. Intended to join for a long time, but never got around to it. Glad I did. Stu

 

Another member here.

 

Been a member since 97.... The Wheels of time magazine alone is worth the membership. The people you meet at the national & regional shows are a great, and so are the trucks.

Not a "member", but am on their website. I've interacted with the admins there, at least one of them, and they are a great bunch of people.

 

I too am a member of ATHS. I have been a member for nineteen years. I am currently the RVP for Texas in case any of you guys from Texas want to join up. I saw in an above post where one of my Texas chapter presidents weighed in. Good to see you over here Tony.

 

Yeah, I gotta get off my duff and join up. As a member of a couple other groups, a third one would be just fine with me.

 

Finally pulled the pin.

 

Good for you, welcome aboard. I am leaving Saturday for South Bend IN. for the ATHS national convention. There will be hundreds of trucks there and a solid week of nothing by trucks and truck talk. Lots of fun for anyone that likes big trucks and trucking history.

 

Welcome aboard Scott. I joined ATHS in '96 after attending the National in Ottawa Lake, MI. There are a lot of knowledgable and fun people on the ATHS forums too. Although I've not poked my head in there in quite some time, nor much here either letely, just don't seem to have the time.

 

thanks.

I'm currently waiting for everything to show up in the mail. I assume my account number will too, so I can log on.

 

Still waiting?

 

I did a one day banzai run up to the South Bend show. Took the camera, then found the battery was dead! But luckily, one of the Studebaker Truck Talk guys was better prepared and shared this Photobucket link to his pics from the show. Studebaker was the featured marque, but there were a lot of nice Fords. IIRC, there were around 900 trucks there. Stu
