Somebody here recently posted a video of a Brigadaire Detroit shifting uphill. It was bad ass.

Right they sound bad ass, either a reving or idling

Oh, by the way, I take all kinds of vitamins morning and night

My God, I have not even heard of that in years

I saw one couple months ago for sale. They wanted $100,000 for it but this thing was absolutely flawless showroom condition.

And yes Larry I would except that 64 in a hurry ha ha now I’m getting too old and They’re too expensive pretty nice dream though.

Saw the same thing about a year ago right here in my hillbilly town. I wasn’t too surprised. I can’t remember exactly what he did but it was something like that.

I just paid five bucks for a 16 ounce cup of coleslaw or $25 for a 5 pound bag of dog food

Yes I do 530 usually close to 12 hour days that’s without any issues

It might’ve been up to speed rear end

This is what it look like look familiar?

It was a weird set up. It did have a Detroit in it. But the splitter it was on the dashboard or the doghouse from what I remember that was 51 years ago. I do remember it was not on the shifter.

Didn’t work on DM at all today I was just out there looking at it got to leave tomorrow for Cortland. I may try to work on it in the morning. I had some running around to do this morning and I didn’t feel like doing anything when I got back here but I’ll be off next week Monday Tuesday Wednesday, so I’ll probably wait till then. I think today and tomorrow I’m just going to relax and enjoy my vacation, although I’m sitting here on the sofa watching television with ants in my pants. Fixing on changing the oil soon. I want to put new oil lines on it before I do anything else who knows how old they are also, it has the canister shock filter. Do you happen to know if there’s numbers on the top of the cylinder?

Kind of ironic. The first truck I ever drove was a cracker box. I am the first truck I ever drove when I got my class. One license was a GMC Astro training for the license was R model trash truck and wait for my license on a old Plymouth rock U model aaaaaaahhhhh. The good old days

We had an outfit like that in my area. I don’t know where they were out of but they used to keep passing gas station. I was working at at the time trucks were gorgeous. They were all black little bit of chrome polish tanks tanker outfit they Aran U,R and B models cash oil sales.. top notch equipment

I would guess no

From where I park it and where I work on it it’s a little difficult to get it back to the work area too much shit in the way, and the turning radius is terrible on that I was trying not to run into the quad box I have on a pallet sitting in the way

Oh my god that’s horrible. Thanks for that. Not sure if you caught this but took that out of an old Mack calendar years ago it sits on my bedroom wall. Sounds like a well run outfit people were proud to work for..Bob

It sounds like you’re talking about a cracker box. That was the first truck I ever drove in my life at 16 but I never left parking lot

Also, I thought I would add after beating myself up on these long line runs dump truck service. Sure sounds a lot easier ha ha.

I am might add the truck was absolutely gorgeous

I might have been a little off on the price. My mind is slipping. Seems like that’s what he told me.

I remember a buddy of mine back in 1975 bought a brand new R model model dump truck 10 wheeler I think he paid 60 grand and back then we thought that was a lot of money. It probably was ha ha

You know that’s surprising to me the price they want to use those were brand new equipment. Come on now really 10 gallons. You guys are overly generous.

Do you know home? Prices are so out of hand, California and Nevada. It surprises me. You can still buy pretty right in different parts of the country.
