  1. The picture that is straight onto the front. What is wrong with the drivers side steer wheel? lt looks to be up and back as thou it has been hit. .....Hippy
  2. Paul, l think twenty five or more years ago (+/-) it was way more popular with large freight companies than today. Many east coast states did not allow twenty eight foot double trailers. Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike and the New York Thruway system) you could pull double (40' to 42' to 45' now 48') footers for as long as l can remember. https://www.mass.gov/doc/700-cmr-7-use-of-the-massachusetts-turnpike-and-the-metropolitan-highway-system/download Double twenty eight foot trailers are allowed almost every where now so no need for a Kwik Loc anymore. Need to get mowerman to jump in here he pulls doubles all the time. Off subject again! .....Hippy
  3. Good choice on the Kwik Loc video Swishy! lol Roadway's Road Boss tandem tractors used a walking beam suspension with only one drive axle. Sure made for some nice looking trucks, long nose two tone blue and orange Whites. .....Hippy First picture in the Video. Remember passing them in Ohio and Indiana or getting pushed on the Ho Chi Minh trail (209) in Penn.
  4. Blizzard of '78 l was driving a ten wheel GMC 9500 dump truck in Manchester NH. l lived ten miles from the city and didn't see home for five days. We would do snow removal for ten hours of our own parking lots starting in the morning. Dumping the snow over the granite wall into the river at the end of a local street. Then get a two-three hour nap and start hauling snow for the city being loaded by a snow blower. That snow we dumped thru two holes in the Granite St bridge. They had the two sections made to be removed so we could straddle them. City of Boston had guys in Manchester trying to recruit trucks to go to Boston. lt was fun you know...Back when it was fun. lol Here are two videos on the storm. .....Hippy
