  1. Ah that's the new Rumble tumble Dozer by Cat 😄 🤣 😂
  2. Will do Paul. I'm hoping and praying that The Green Hornet brings home an award 🙏
  3. Yeah my Grandfather said I was born in the wrong Era lol Can't help it I guess lol
  4. I just turned 35 and celebrated 9 yrs of marriage the day before my birthday. I've been driving 16yrs. Let's see got hit in the back of the head by a toter trash can lifter at 19,fell out of the side of a box truck face first basically my head fell 10ft face first at 21,acouple truck accidents in the beginning of my 30s the last one about 4yrs ago a guy decided to commit suicide by hitting my dump truck basically head on. I've got a bad knee thanks to the plastic dash coming apart and cutting up my knee and doing some internal damage to it. Yeah been a crazy ride but every time I climb behind the wheel It still feels like it's my first time and I can't help but just smile. I've ran hard,drove when I prolly should've parked it,and warn myself out on the road. Once led a Convoy of 25 other trucks across 80 in Pennsylvania in a snow storm from the 16 yard stick up to the 120 exit into the Sapp Brothers truck stop safe for the night. Yeah prolly more stories to come the older I git but for now it sure has been alotta fun 😀

  6. Sounds about like the time a company I drove for put another driver in my assigned truck which had a Eaton fuller Super 10 tranny in it. Yeah I reported for work later that same day only to be told I was in a spare truck because the tranny in mine got damaged. Lol 😆 🤣 Driver basically blew the gear to gear selector lol 😆 😂 🤣 .
  7. Just a reminder guys October 3rd is The last day for Voting of the Truck show.
  8. The sleeper addition looks amazing My friend!!! Honestly to me it almost looks factory in my book!!
  9. Hmm wonder if they pulled tankers with it at some point. I've seen alot of tanker yankers with a fifth wheel mounted like that.
  10. I got to see him in action in Fort Recovery,Ohio and at the Allen County Fair In my home town of Lima,Ohio!! Even got to sit In Buckeye Bulldog once.
  11. I drove a 1992 Peterbilt 379 with a 60 series Detroit with a 15spd deep reduction behind it Also drove an 1986 GMC General with a Cummins and a Glorified reversed 16spd Eaton fuller. Two of the best trucks I drove hauling logs outta the woods
  12. You're wife ain't "The Gal in The little Pink Mack" is She? Haha that's actually the name of an old truckin song from back in the day.
  13. Fun fact about the face on the Happy toyz 1980's White Western Star....The Green Goblin face is also the Character from The Spider Man Comics Series.
  14. I grew up with Several terminals around. CCX,YELLOW, ROADWAY,CF,And UPS. I turn 35yrs old tomorrow and I can remember Roadway had the cabover ford,CF( Consolidated Freight) had cabover Freightliners,CcX had setback axle Ford conventionals,Yellow had GMC Brigadier type day cabs,and Ups had the Mack Ultra liner cabover
  15. Joey from What I could find and I also found several conversations on here about the UPS cabovers. They did Run MH Ultra liners, F-Series, Diamond Reo and and even some Peterbilts back in the day. And some did Run the MC/MR cabovers which is also What the USPS runs still to this day. Also They Ran GMC ASTROs as well.
  16. Like I told someone one Youtube not to long ago it ain't all about power. It's about torque and efficiency. You can have 1100 hp which I know of a lady that has it in a C15 Clatter-pillar but if you don't have the right horse/torque ratio with the Right tranny combo and gears in the rears all you have is a pavement princess with a lot of HP under the hood. Give me an old 60 series Detroit with a 15 speed deep reduction and I can walk with the big horse power boys pulling loads all day long.
  17. I agree with Joey. There are guys looking for those Motors and parts for their trucks. So instead of seeing how far you can push it and possibly blow it apart Yank it out and put up on a post in parts for-sale. What is with These guys that have nothing better to do than destroy stuff. 🤔 I just don't git it. I must've been raised and taught different. I myself am beyond words with this one.
  18. Small budgets,Simple story lines ,and decent actors made for the best movies back then!! Better than alot of the trash they are producing now a days hahahaha. That and the horrible remakes they've put out of some of the classic greats. Another great movie is Chuck Norris in Breaker, Breaker.
  19. Yeah there's only 5 or 6 other trucks in my category which is Working Bobtail 2014 and newer.
  20. Thank you Sir. Voting ends October 3rd at Midnight so you're good 👍
  21. Most of these steering wheel holder's out here today have one but they don't hook it up or turn it on. It's a novelty item to them just because the truck they drive has a spot for it lol.
