Popular Post gearhead204 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 the cold front that came thru made thing a little too cool for the orchard so i lit a few bon fires like this one, by day light things were a little icy, but i still have a crop! also been picking rocks and leveling a spot for a hay stack.even put the old knuckle buster to work 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gearhead204 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks for the comments, this is a great time of year for pics before it all turns brown. Yes those fawns are more or less pets, the home owners around palmer lake like to spoil them. Jim the 220 is doing a real job on my rock piles, just plum handy it is! I jumped the fence and got some pics of the neighbors iron, an eagle, a transtar, and a 850. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 RobGreat Pictures!! Thanks for sharing your scenery..Do your mountains help control the late frosts in the spring and early fall, like the big lakes do in upstate New York???Nice looking F-850, Diesel or gas?? 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Beautiful scenery and some neat toys. Even the "junk" in your neighbor's yard is cool! 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gearhead204 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2015 Brocky, the 850 i think has a 477 gas ,as for the mountains they dont help, the cold air off of them drains down to the vallys below, they might influance the wind but i think thats it. Bob and Green dash, yah he has some "good" junk laying around! Here is a pic from my side of the valley looking north, the trees with whe really white blossomsare pear trees. The hay fields ,pastures and cows in the bottom half of the pic are mine. the orchard above is my neighbors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Vlad, the land owner makes siloutte's of anamals out of plywood, i think there is moose,elk, caraboo,bear,deer, coyote, and a wolf. The silouttes's are quite good and at dusk makes you take a second look to make sure there fake! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMack Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Nice pictures. I would think that Eagle has to be somewhat rare. I thought they were all flatops. Don't know if I've ever seen one with a doublebunk like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 PeterSome how I think (????) that is an aftermarket addition.. Some where I read about a company who made them for several different brands?? Wasn't there a F model with one pictured here about a year or two ago?? Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Petermack, yes it is a custom conversion I talked with the owner yesterday and he mentioned it was after market. The truck could be for sale bc3 400 cummins 13 sp. and about 200,000 on a major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if I've ever seen one with a doublebunk like that.Are you referring to just Eagle trimmed raised roof cabovers? Schneider, CRST, and JB Hunt had thousands raised roof 9700's (that's the setback axle version). The one above looks as if it might be aftermarket because of the way the roof angles up at the back of the cab, but the overall shape is similar to the OEM version.

Green Dash Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This one is a "Pro Sleeper" meaning it had a flat floor. The "doghouse" was a mere 2" rise in the floor. That in combination with the raised roof made for one HUGE interior.Borrowed from Flickr. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in combination with the raised roof made for one HUGE interior.Borrowed from Flickr.I remember all of those Schnieder, JB, uggo's running around. The one Gearhead had posted reminded me of an Aeordyne KW with the split windowsup front. Don't ever recall seeing an Eagle like that, but if they were custom I'm sure they are a little scarce. I wonder if the Eagle has windowsup front or if it is just smooth? Can't tell from the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes it has divided front glass, and yes it does look like the "VIT" that ken worth used on their trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being an aftermarket add-on has me wondering why other truck builders were slow follow suit, if at all, when KW introduced the Aerodyne in the mid-70's.
