  1. Mike there used to be a black B61 hauling a grain trailer I would meet it in Indiana and ill it had a sleeper on it I think it was a mercury bunk . it had lots of polished on it sharp looking ride but it was a twin stack with a big shack on the back .. I remember it had straight pipes and it barked when the jake was used to slow down

  2. st germain trans is the fathers company

    SGT2000 is the son's company.. back in late 90's early 2000's there was a split between father and son ended in a court case and the company splitting in to 2 different companies.. I wonder id any of the R models with the bunks are still around or for sale

  3. welcome to BMT glad to hear more fellow Canadians on board here also first diesel truck I drove was a 62 B61 with a small sleeper cag and it was a straight truck with a 24' box triples trans tandem on camelback suspension and 237 mack motor.. some one had put maxi's up on the frame from the front tandem axle twith a chain used to set them ( you also had to watch road terrain so you didn't set them accidently... I miss the old girl

  4. II was talking to Mr Schwind he was telling me this truck has not seen a winter running as most of his fleet are seasonal trucks this truck was overhauled from bumper to tail lights 2 -3 years ago so it would be worth the buying price wish I had the money..I would buy it the interior is very clean and not abused

  5. lebanon jct n KY I forget what it was called before the p---t took it over was a good spot to eat and fuel.. also grama's kitchen in mortons gap KY .. before that same bunch p----t took it over. there is a citgo fuelstop restraint with a shop just north of the I-81/I-64 turn off going south into NC I would stop there all the time.. I am surprised no one remembered the miniskirt jct truckstop in Pa

  6. back in 06 I had a 3406 b 425 rebuilt in tampa Cat in my western star cost me $16,000 .. then they built it as a 3406C not a B.. wrong rings and pistons and even wrong head valve settings it couldn't pull itself barely down the road took it back young fellow tried to put a computer to the motor when I asked him what he was doing he said looking for the plug in for the engine I told him to get the supervisor he come out and said they don't work on mechanical motors anymore just the electronic ones .. ended up costing me another week down in KY to have t rebuilt by Paducha cat they found the problems and fixed it but on the warranty dime this time
