Popular Post 1961H67 Posted December 31, 2025 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2025 Fortunately My Mom & Dad took a lot of pictures as I was growing up, and it seems like I inherited that same trait,, if I take a picture of a truck or vehicle I try to put someone in the picture like they did,, it means so much more years later. ,, Top left is My Dad and Me in front of a old Plymouth he had in the mid 60s , notice trucking hat & cast on his arm, he broke his wrist helping my Grandfather put a clutch in a car ,, he did some trimming on it because he never missed a day of work,, he still drove a B Model and shifted a duplex with it . The color picture to the right is him and the B Model,, I had it colorized and blown up, the other with 3 black and white small pictures are Dad and Me, old Hennis Freight pictures from the early 60s . The other color picture is Dad and Kyle at the National Truck Show in Greensboro in 1999 in front of a ( unknown owner) LJ . Thanks for the interest,, I have blown up so many and framed them I ran out of room to hang them. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-588129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 Excellent thanks for that dean. I had a 48 Plymouth in the 70s that looked around the same as that one. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-588142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 A very different attitude today as far as taking time off when crook or with a busted bone Everyone wants to push it to the limit with the amount of time off, very different than how I grew up, having a sicky was and still is frowned upon in my family, in the older parts if my family anyway Younger people "pull a sicky" as they say for any B.S. reason Only sick days I have had was when I broke my back and wrist Back working full time in 4 weeks So lucky to have all this history Paul 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-588198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted January 2 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 2 Yes ,, I don’t believe I ever remember getting ready for school and my Dad was there, he always went to work. I worked for Ryder Transportation for 32 years, for the first 10 years I never missed a day. Then only a day or so a year if I was really sick with the flu or something. Now the young generation will call off if their dog is sick. The workforce of the United States is very soft , But that’s what you get when you pay people to stay home! 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-588202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I was pretty much the same way. I didn’t call off unless I had to. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-588229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:14 AM And a good excuse for keeping it inside out of North Carolina's salt and brine!!! I hope you and your family survive this weekend. Was just out and there is some wind blowing, just enough to push the chill thru you.. Have the kitchen faucets dripping. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-589157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago The coldest i experienced was in Rangley Maine back in early 90's was -45 degrees. I could not get into my car because the doors were frozen shut. When it warmed up to -20 a few days later, I was able to drive my sled in to town. I would cut across Rangley lake to get there. Looking back.... I would like to do that again... but I have been in N.C. 20 years, so Im probably a wimp now... 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-589234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT miss the cold a bit.. I have seen -35 on the bank in Mars Hill ME when I got out of the truck to get the loading slip for my potatoes.. BUT I think the coldest I ever was, was top Loading fuel oil in Odgensburg NY when the thermometer on the rack said -26F and Lord only knows what the wind chill factor was coming across the frozen St Lawrence river!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-589239 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted 13 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 13 hours ago It was 15 here this morning,, and as I get older it hurts more, when I was in my 20s I’ve ran that LJ picking up trucks on I40 in the Pigeon River Gorge in Zero degree weather and hurt less than 25 does today! I used Zephyr polish on the final finish, but I also have used a couple other aluminum polish and I can’t tell a lot of difference. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/8/#findComment-589241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
