I work with a couple old Len-Crete guys, and they said that they're owner and D' Addario used to spec trucks together. They bought those quad- steers together. For whatever reason they used to call them gondolas. The first DM I drove was the same, down hill it did 55, but off the road it was an animal. It wrote the book on geared to the ground. Back in the early and mid eighties Hi- Ho was like O and G is now. They where everywhere. Back then Tilcon ran about 10 to 20 DM-800' s out of North Branford. For every Tilcon truck running out of North Branford I bet there where at least 3 Hi- Ho's. My favorite part of the summer as kid was the week I would spend in North Branford.
