Rob Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Thal old Loadstar used to have individual amber rotating beacons, and individual spotlights back in the late 1970's. The light bar is a later addition. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I bought this black ‘02 KW T800 new in 2003 from KW of St. Louis. Super nice single turbo C15 475, 13spd, 20/46 on Chalmers. Was a tri axle with a 20k steerable lift that was bent or welded cockeyed from day 1. Chewed thru tires like crazy. They wanted the truck back to the dealer that installed it in Indiana but we never had time nor could afford the down time to fix it. Sold it to Mike Waller in 2007. He’s now running a dark red 2019 KW T800 quad you have in a later post. We ran out of Simpson in Valley Park and down off 141 in Arnold. I think Mike converted it to a quad a few years ago. He sold it to CJD last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

convoyduel Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Volvo and Western Star have completely turned the St Louis dump truck market into their sole territory from Mack and Ford/Sterling. Still don’t understand the Volvo thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 What does the St Louis dealer that sold all those Fords sell now? 😎If it was one dealer he did a good job back "in the day" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are located just south of the Gateway Arch and sold all things truck and SUV from Ford. I don’t believe they sold any cars. Almost every contractor bought their Ford trucks of my kind there. When Ford old out to Daimler, they became the Sterling dealer. When Daimler bought Western Star, they didn’t get the dealership....it went to nearby rival Degel that sold Mitsubishi trucks. (Degel ran into a lot of issues and had their Star dealership pulled). Eventually, Truck Centers that is the big regional Freightliner dealer got the Star dealership. Broadway Ford Sterling continued strong until Sterling’s demise. When Daimler stopped Sterling and named the parts and service locations for Sterling, they named Truck Centers as the parts/service/warranty dealer and Broadway was left with just light and medium Fords. They are still there but a shell of what they once were. They had a fire in their service department maybe 5 years ago or so and just boarded up that part of the building but use the rest. Their Parts counter is like a time warp back to 1980’s Ford dealerships. Problem is, they really have little to nothing left and mostly just deal in generic or aftermarket stuff. I went in there in 2019 to get some OEM a Ford parts for my ex-Cal Fire LT9000 and they had nothing. Not even a door seal. All of those Louisville’s for 28 years and nothing left available. Very sad. I still see a lot of new Fords for contractors around town with Broadway’s logo so I guess they are getting by. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
