Green Dash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Very nice small fleet. The '72 looks like what Zavitz used to run, but I don't think they switched from red to white until sometime in the '80's. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex g Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hey Green Dash your not the first person to say that 72 looks like an old Zavitz truck it never was but I have seen pics of the old Zavitz rigs and it does look alot like them.I only live about 15 minutes from Zavitz yard my Uncle drove for them years ago.That truck of my Dads hauled livestock.

alex g Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 unfortunately no old pics of the 72 I tend to take a lot more pics now with the digital camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 If I tried to do a burn out with my U model, shed start bouncing like a kid on a trampoline, and Id end up breakin stuff and be done. I could get her to blow black like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 That old 72 is far to rotten to worry about breaking. The cab is almost ready to fall off and the frame is seperated beyond fixing I've been using parts of it over the years.I decided one day to have some fun with it I wouldn't suggest doing that with something you care about.I explained to my kids when we got the blue R model we treat it a little {Alot} different.By the way that burnout was in 8th gear hammer down it has a 10 speed.My oldest sons friend was over he had never seen anything like it they still talk about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cab was junk beond repair. On the sand road out back of Papas, when you let the clutch out it spins and just bounces around and then goes.
