The Rubber Duck 006

Couldn't resist alil night time action. Also I've enter the Green Hornet in her first truck show. Overdrive magazines pride and Polish online truck show. Votes open after September 5th. Hopefully she does well.

I drove a 1989 Peterbilt 379 Extended hood with a 855 Cummins and 15spd Overdrive tranny. Bad Boy had 8 inch Pipes and when I hit the Jake's it made my heart flutter alil boy she sounded Choice too!!

He rides with me almost everyday. He's one of the main reasons I got into this industry and love it so much as I do. He taught me the old school ways of truckin. I have his logbook cover and even acouple original tattle tail disks. I have the gold bulldog key chain He got when he purchased one of his Mack trucks as well it has a fold out little blade on one side and a small file on the other. I can still remember when he cried the first time he saw me pull into the truckstop in Wapakoneta,Ohio in a 1997 Mack CH613 and we got to roll down I-75 together and as he passed me My Grandma gave me an Arm pump and smiled and wiped a tear as I blew the air horn for her. I told him for years when I was a little kid that one day I was going to drive a truck and take him for a ride with me on a long run he would just smile and say "Matt you gotta be 25 to drive a truck ". Yeah I cherish the memories of the 2 trips I took him with me to Dover Plains New York. He took 96 pictures on our second trip. Yeah He's always with me out here on the road.

Sure wish my Grandpa was still around to see that video Freighttrain. I do believe he'd be Proud.

Paul I couldn't tell you how it works. Alli know is My Grandpa talked about driving his two stick B61 and driving his 3 stick B67. He said it was a Ball to Remember which gear he was in on the 3 stick.

I would love to see someone post a video working the 3 Stick Mack my Grandpa had one it was a B67 I believe is what he said.

Guys I went to high school with decided it would be awesome to steal a construction barrel. Little did they know that alot of times they are sealed at the bottom and hiding a 50lbs sand bag inside. Sucked the kid right out the back of that Chevy S-10 Hahahaha 😆 😂 🤣 Dude drove bout 2 miles before they noticed he was missing from the bed 😆 🤣 😂 😹

Just Walkin' the Dog

Amen to that!! Yeah you oughta see the look on some of these younger kids faces when I tell them I was taught how to set timing on an engine by ear because my Grandpa didn't own a timing light hahahaha yeah they flip out.

Either that or hook er Up to a Pullin' Sled and see how far she'd go.

Hard wood laminate flooring tongue and groove. Most likely from One of our big Hardware Store chains Known as Menards

The GMC ASTRO is missing a mirror in the bottom Pic and also the Ford Lmodel is missing its company logo

I've seen pictures of a Mack B model show truck on Google it's purple and Silver. It's fitted with a nice Big walk in sleeper I believe. I agree B models look excellent with a bunk.

Awesome work on the model!!! I see alot of those when the wife and I go back home to see her family in Ikes fork West Virginia. Those DM800's can actually move down the road. Last year up in Michigan I saw one that had a bunk on the back and a 500 hp E9 stuffed under the hood. I wish I had gotten pictures of it cause it was sweet looking for sure. Love that model.

That'd be a nice truck to have. I'd take the dump bed off though and do a Sleeper conversion and turn it into an over the road truck.

If I had the money that would be an awesome project to restore

I went to A well known College here in Lima,Ohio that is the top Diesel Mechanic schools in the U.S. now mind you this was about 14yrs ago. I ended up only going to school for one session reason being I was watching students in the Ag Diesel program working on Combines and tractors here I was in my Class of Transportation Refrigeration Heating and Air Conditioning diagnosing AC issues on a Toyota Solace. Yeah I didn't understand that concept 😕. So I ended up just focusing on my trucking Career after the session was over. My teacher told me that he hoped I wasn't making a mistake on giving up on College. I can tell you I don't regret the experience I've gained out here on the road by working on and servicing the trucks I've driven over the years and helping the mechanics fix other trucks and asking questions etc. I've learned just as much they would've taught me in College and maybe alil more by just helping and gittin my hands dirty to save the company money on a service call.

Bout the only I'd do with that monster these days is take it to truck shows or hook it to a pulling sled

My wife has a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium. It started losing coolant over a period of time. Took it to a shop and they told her there were no leaks or anything wrong. ( of course I happened to be out on the road and wasn't there).Yeah it finally died on her here acouple weeks ago and when she tried putting more coolant in it like she always did she could hear it running out. Yeah it's been at a Ford dealership now almost four weeks waiting on it's new engine and or parts. Typical young gun mechanics treating a woman like she didn't know anything gotta love it.

I would love to have that Gem

Very nice truck Sir and nice restoration

Oh yeah I love the look of my Truck here which is the CHU613 Pinnacle it has the old school Mack look in my opinion

Thems some beautiful trucks!!!
