Or just his McLaren F1!

My 1979 Craftsman lawn tractor has a Tecumseh on it they used than in those days

The "forward control" was the little jeep Cabover pickup right? They were cool! I preferred the styling of the original ones to the new "concept"

Dave, the chain gang is a good thing, but the union would fight it tooth and nail! Freightrain,Bob asked about you the other night, he's looking forward to the season to open soon!

Did a fire truck builder do the coachwork on the wrecker?looks one off!

Awesome models, are the hoods carved from wood?

It Was in about 1993 and I had a drop deck leased to Cardinal transport, was somewhere in Pa I think and Myself and two other Cardinal contractors pull up to a job site with roof insulation.I was second in line and the first driver says they won't unload him because he's non union! Sensing a potential dilemma,I call my Cardinal agent Bob who is also my best friend, and he asks "don't you have a teamster card?" "Yeah but it's been expired for years! I say" Hide the year with your finger and ask if you can back in the other guys trucks!" They said ok and I did! What a bunch of nonsense!

How many of today's drivers would even think of wrapping a chain around the tranny to align it?! Actually how many could even find the tranny?

Delivered a new Midliner for Ryder truck Rental, had a funny back asswards shift pattern!

That Studebaker is the first one I've ever seen with a sleeper! Great looking truck!

Wow, you guys are bringing back some memories! My first car hauling gig was for AT I of Flint Mi out of the Pittsburgh railhead hauling Ford's. Had a 5 car Bankhead F8 Ford 391 gas burner 5 and a 2. During model changeover we could take the layoff or drive one of the senior drivers 8v71 Louisville ( they had money so they took the layoff!) Their trailers were a 10 car Bankhead if you used the ramp extension off the top front deck. We called them our Pinto bar! The Anchor guys called them their Vega bar! My 1st trip with the Louisville I took a backhaul out of Port Wilmington De. To Minneapolis. Coming home I took a trip lease out of KATs yard in Kenosha Wi Pacers and Gremlins! Tells you how long ago it was! We were bought out by Nu Car Carriers we got 50 brand new Ronald McDonald Cottrells with Louisville Ford's 290 Cummins. Those trailers were very heavy and were pretty much scrapped when everyone went to 12 car stinger steered equipment.The drivers out of the Pittsburgh.rail head were the best group of guys I ever worked with.

The Dodge fountain will be art until the door rusts out!

The one next to the white R model looks like a FWD cab or some one off conversion?

I have a long history of being too stubborn to ask for help! Sometimes with similar results!

Sharp R!

Back in Black how does it handle above triple digits?

Every time I wear my Chinese made red wings I like them more! I made a vow about a year ago that except for electronics I wouldn't pay more than 50 bucks for any Chinese made product! The boots were 79.00! They are a true 12d and fit perfectly. I am ashamed of myself! They are all leather and seem to be as good quality as boots costing twice as much! I took a chance buying them online but got lucky.

If the "cause of the imbalance " ever got loose someone could be injured! Better inform OSHA!

I received my Chinese red wings since my last post! They have an all leather upper and seem very well made! They are almost broken in and are the most comfortable western boots I've owned! It pisses me off to buy a Chinese made boot,but like I said, Ill get over it! I looked at every brand of boot Rural King sold and they were all made in China or some third world country, and priced up to 200.00 the Red Wings I bought online for 79.00 appeared to be as good or better quality than any of them! Time will tell!

When I was in about 6th grade they were building the new Peters Twp HS they bussed all of us to an old one room schoolhouse the district owned near Finleyville Pa. Every morning an old coal train with a steam engine went thru the valley! The whole valley was filled with black smoke for about 20 minutes! Long before the epa!was about 1956!

When's the last time anyone has seen a truck with Sanders?is their operation in the new cdl manual along with the fuse location for the automatic emergency braking and lane maintenance feature?lol
