The smell was awesome…especially when hooked to a cattle trailer! LOL! years back (many) ; texaco oil used to run long nose GMC's with 318's. living on a lake next to major road -rte34 at night could hear the DD screaming up the long hill . like the songs of the '60's : the DD 's were such great music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Well, he is definitely a talker he’s out of Delhi ny who runs rolloff containers and landscape materials. His name also sounded familiar to me. He said he has on here sometimes, but not very often. He said yes he has seen my profile many times I think his profile name was R6 88 I think that’s what he said. I’m sure I’ll see him tomorrow. I will ask him again. What he goes by on here. His truck was bad ass maybe tomorrow I can post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
