Memories for us old truckers

[Junkyard]

I've got two or three things torn down at my shop. If my memory ever goes I am T-totally fu$&ed! Haha. Quite a few things I don't need to mark, it all makes sense to me. On occasion I'll pull something apart and as I'm doing it my motions and the way things look seem counterintuitive to me so I make notes. Like tab A doesn't go in slot B, more like A in C and D in G then B in E....and of course no F. Must be an Italian drilling rig!

That's an old familiar song

Our trucks are pretty well parked til springtime now. I probably won't be hearing our DD 6V92 sing until May

Some states give a little extra weight for 60" spread on permits. I think Cali gives an extra 1000lbs on 60" drives.

Bridge weight, also one thing about Hendrickson 60" walking beam-extreme traction.

Where are all the greasy slimy hand prints and slopped oil at!!!! Did not realize DD put pull starters on these(Small black Handle "PULL")

Actually looks really good. Very tidy install.

My parents had this song on a record (who has such things anymore! 33- 45- 78's, might as well talk greek), but I still remember sitting on the couch, facing the armrest at the wheel of my own black mack......

Pig pen- you want to back off- them hogs is gettin intense....

Hated the duck and hated his truck and loved to bust trucks for fun.....

Hate to break it to you Crane Op, but vinyl is "in" again. I personally don't get it. I've ruined enough CD's on bouncing down gravel roads, that i gave up on physical media.

"10-4 backdoor, put the pedal to the metal and let it roar". Anybody remember that one?

Been after this REO emblem for long time, finally got it. It will go on my tool box along with the other badges. This badge is around 110 years old-circa 1905 REO
solid brass.
