  2. oh, here's "the rest of the picture".
  3. Yes, it's the same superhighway, but from Moorefield west it's rt. 48, 55 still exits at Moorefield and follows 220 to Petersburg where they split again. It's finished over the mountain from Moorefield now, trucks have to exit at Patterson Creek Road and run that down to rt. 42. It ends now at some little road that brings you out in Maysville. I've been across it coming east because there's no truck restriction coming that way. It's a skinny crooked little road, but it's only 3 or 4 miles from Maysville up to the new road. It'll be nice when they open the new road all the way to Mount Storm.
  4. that's painted like the '79 I drove. I put a visor on mine though.
  5. All I have is a faded handshaker. Try Hank's Truck Pictures and just search his site for Mason Dixon, i'm sure there's tons of pictures there. never mind...too little too late!
  6. I got out the ol' GMC history book. These 800 series were actually made from 1958-62. The only engine options listed was either a 4-71 or a 6-71.
  7. I did win the lottery today- $5 on a $5 scratch ticket...i'll be headed off to work tomorrow.
  8. yes, it is indeed against the law.
  9. at least they're wearing sensible shoes.
  10. sure did- 4 wheelers do it all the time, kind of rare to see another truck do it.
  11. I don't know a thing about it Vlad, just saw the picture and thought i'd pass it along. The man that posted it gave no details at all. I agree, It doesn't look too bad for the price.
  12. I looked at a U-model in Ambridge Tuesday. I posted pictures of it before, but this time I got the interior and even the cereal number! They have a V8 R-model too. Saw a Brockway and a bulldozer in the Tractor House. The goats were way up on top of the hill. Smoke from the power plant at Mt. Storm way over yonder. Now i'm over yonder too. They're building a new 4 lane highway across there, but it isn't finished. You have to exit at the bottom of the hill in the first picture, and it's 27 miles over to Mount Storm from the top of the mountain where I took the first picture over to the top of the mountain near the power plant. Construction on the new road. This is over near Mt. Storm, at the top of the mountain, a 5 mile 10% down grade to Scherr,W.V. Unless you're going the other way, then it would be uphill. Going down the mountain. 4 wheeler passing me... big truck passing me An old truck over there Some hard climbs here- had 5 steel coils on,48,000+ lbs. Lake's drawn down pretty low. And this time, I really did see a woman hitchhiking! She looked nothing like this one however... She was on rt. 51 south of Pittsburgh, and I was going the same direction. She was not bad looking at all- 40-ish, long black hair, black shirt, sweat pants,big hoop ear rings. And I didn't get a picture! I know the rules- if you don't get a picture it didn't really happen...but I saw her. I did. Here's a picture of a big Christmas tree on top of a building in Charleston, W.V. It was about 2am when I took this,completely dark, it didn't come out at all, but it still looked kind of neat, so I didn't delete it. Guess i'll shave now, no shave November is over... ...and those conspiracy theory people might be on to something!
  13. Saw this on facebook. The fellow that posted it said he thought the owner wanted $2,000 for it, but he wasn't sure.
  14. I saw a little snow in West Virgina and Maryland Monday night myself. This was Tuesday morning on I-68 in Maryland.
  15. They're D860's, made from around '58-60. These used the old GMC cabs, different nose. They were replaced by the 7000 series in 1960 I think. I don't know how many were made or anything, but they must have been pretty popular, I remember seeing lots of them when I was a young lad. Always liked the looks of them.
  16. I just got on here myself, i'm sorry also. And welcome back rhasler.
  17. "have to get out to change your mind"...Freighttrain
  18. I'll "borrow" another one of Fabian's pictures- he has a good Mack page on facebook.https://www.facebook.com/groups/303083819754424/
  19. that was my favorite of the two.
  20. sometimes I do, they were some of the best trucks I ever drove.
  21. it's in the same place on mine- even has a little arrow pointing to it!
  22. Here's a neat picture from Australia.
  23. holy crap, I meant to put this in antiques and classics! I could move it... but that'll take too long...oh well, as Vinny always says " it it what it is".
  24. mine too, unlike the way women shop- they go in the mall, look at the first thing they see,put it down,then go through every single item in every single store,then go back to the first thing they looked at when they first came in and buy it.
  25. I stole borrowed this from EM6285, because I saw one painted just like the '77 I used to drive. I drove this one- it was all Mack,300/5spd. ...and this one. This is a '79 with a 350 Cummins, RTO910, Mack rears. Not a good picture, but it's a Polaroid over 30 years old.
