Bullheaded

I'm on this side of the fence. I post pics for others to enjoy. if someone wants to claim them, who cares. have at it. It's not like I get paid or get a hero cookie for taking a picture. Anything I do or say on the internet is with full understanding that anyone in the world can do whatever they want with it. Sorry to those on the other side of the fence, but I just don't see what the value of a picture is? If someone wants to take the picture of my truck and photoshop their name on the door, so what? At least people that want to see pics of that particular brand of truck will be able to look at one on the net. Maybe my head is up my ass and I'm missing something? i just didn't figure a photo credit was that important to anyone. Hanks was an awesome site and it will be missed.

I usually ignore anything that has the words electric, hybrid, emissions or climate change in it. But I just had a look since I am a big International fan. Doesn't 645 h.p. seem a bit overkill? Even though that would be awesome, LOL How does electric motor h.p. and torque compare to a diesel? Does that rating tell the real story? Because if it is, that would be one hell of a fun truck to drive.

So sad to see a powerhouse company like that have to sell everything off. I'd sure like to have a couple of those RD800's!

How come they are selling the shop and camps too? Are they shutting right down? Unfortunately I also know what it is like to go through a dying forest industry. Many years ago almost all the lumber and paper mills around me closed up. And that was the end of forest sector hauling for me.

That's the problem here. It was all the "Citiots" that got enough votes for Trudeau. You know, the ones that are brainwashed that farming is destroying the environment, meat will kill you and should be banned, and that think the government has magical powers to change the world's climate just by collecting a carbon tax????????? And the financial analysts even said that. These idiots voted because for him because they will get a $200 rebate come tax time for the carbon tax. Too stupid to realize how much extra tax they now will have to actually pay through the year. Short sighted brain dead idiots. All they want is Trudeau's legal pot, so they can be even stupider and lazier than they already are.

Can you guys and Trump please take over Canada and get rid of this idiot Trudeau that all the lazy trans gender millennial's just voted back in. it defies logic how stupid people in my country are to vote that piece of crap back in.

Think we will ever see the V8 here?

KsCarbel2 did you see this news headline? Interesting. Navistar and Scania entering Canadian mining market. https://www.trucknews.com/transportation/scania-navistar-explore-canadian-mining-sector/1003094778/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newcom&utm_campaign=TruckNewsDaily&utm_content=2019102975639

I love big engines and big power, but I can say the DD13 505/1850 in my 2020 Western Star 4900 is doing WAY better than the DD15 did in my 2013. It pulls stronger and it will regen on it's own even idling around. It's not having nearly the emissions and regen issues the DD15 had from day one. Ya, it's still new, but I'm trying to be hopeful. LOL

You had me all excited with the title.....I thought it was going to be a 70's Western Star. LOL.

My opinion is changing. I thought the Anthem was the ugliest truck I have ever seen, but the other day some brand new piggy-backed W990 Kenworth's drove by me. Ding ding ding....we have a new winner for the world's ugliest truck! Even worse in real life than the pics I saw of them, LOL. So now the Anthem looks better to me. Volvo owes a thank you to KW, LOL.

That's why the highways are full of immigrants now. They can use and abuse them to no end. I've been vocational and on/off road all my life but I did by a highway tractor once and hit the road a couple years. That wasn't for me. I never saw so much disrespect and bullshit from both the shippers and the receivers. And when you add to that brokering for a company with a horrible dispatcher, it wasn't long before i sold that truck, and went back to construction/forestry.

That is a nice 61 Mike. I really like that body style! I know nothing about those torsion bar front ends. Like I said, this will be my first Chevy product other than a 74 one ton pickup I had many years ago.

You bet the manufacturers are against gliders. Yes, they can sell lots of them, but they can't make millions and millions in profit fixing them and selling parts every time the emissions junk fails. Selling new junk is big business.

Front suspension.

I've seen enough mechanical failures to know I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing, LOL.

Holy!!! That pic really brings the size into perspective.

You caught my eye with the farm tractors. Very nice stuff there!

Only pics I got of the engine.

Really? I'm just going off what my friend told me. He has to find the ownership yet. He told me it is a 62 with a 292? These are the only tags or numbers I could find on the truck.

Thanks 41chevy. I know very little about GMC/Chev products. My father, then me always had Ford's. So that booster is for the clutch also? is that this big round thing here in this pic? I never crawled right under to see what it was.

You beat me to it, 41chevy......I was just going to ask if the cab was the same as the pickups because I knew of LMC, but they just list pickups. So that brake system is nothing odd ball then? Would you keep the points or go electronic ignition? Thanks.

Thanks Dave. So it is a good motor. I thought it seemed kinda small for a truck that size, LOL.
