Memories for us old truckers

[Pops52]

Wonder which of those drivers is the boss’s son?

That's what I was pointing at in post 7,596.

1933 KW with first Cummins HA-4A diesel headed for Calif-it passed carb.

Above--A perfect tractor with only what is necessary, one stack.

I lost this thread for 20 days.

I'm glad someone agrees with me on this, 1 exit on the engine should have 1 stack.

Most of us old guys do.

Here too. 1 stack 1 air cleaner, 1 horn and 1 driver!

When I was at Tate I use to love trolling the drivers for reaction, most all had OCD.
Everything had to be matched/balanced two of everything. I use tell them the new
trucks are coming in next month. Painted olive drab with white steel wheels, one
stack mounted on the left side. No visors & aluminum wheels only on steer. Manual
windows with cab A/C only, sleeper is a sweat box and you need to lose weight.
Drivers would high tail to the office-phone would ring, {Would you stop bugging the
drivers? No not until you hire some real ones instead of the bed wetter's you've been
hiring.

Haha that is really funny, 1 air cleaner sounds like 50% less chance your engine can get dusted over 2

Holy chit my ears are hurting just imagining the noise from those animals.

We got 3" of rain last Monday. That took care of all the snow in short order. And it made rivers go where they don't belong.

It has been 50* and raining for the last two days; far Northern Wisconsin. I keep wondering if I accidentally teleported to Maryland or something . . .

 

[materthegreater]

Thankfully it hasn't been 50 here, but it's been in the upper 30s and not supposed to freeze at night until the end of the week. Mud season isn't supposed to happen until March at the earliest.

I can't stand rolling sh!t houses--but this would make a interesting one built on a
late 4x4 chassis.

That's a LW-848, the LW models had off highway steel cabs. Could also be a LW-924 only
major difference was frame.

Definitely looks like fun
