Memories for us old truckers

[crane operator]

under some trees

Trees? Trees? Oh- you were on the road somewhere other than S.E. washington.


I also see you have a new occupation. Is it working out for you? Probably got put in for some of that "essential" worker hazard pay. As part of our front line force, to battle the healthy eating revolution. Greasy food helps the immune system fight the covid.

Also- the Mack is looking pretty nice. Good to see you aren't just sitting around.

There's no replacement for displacement.

This is a photo from the shop of the Blue Mountains-lots of trees. And I'm done talking about the virus.

Something on another forum caused me to think of this hand built long hood.

Now that's a pretty truck

Yes pretty truck and other than worrying about getting a finger print on something or heaven forbid a scratch not a bad one to do engine work on!

Cool truck looks good with out aluminum wheels gives my daytons a chance to look good.

Really was a bad day when the KW would come back in town, go all thru the license and permits book we had, recheck that Bingo Card for those coming up. Old times still hard memories.

You can always tell where a owner operator lives, the mail box door is hanging open and it's stuffed to the max with bills.

Remember those days too

Now that's worth buying, it has a hood on it. Extend the frame to 245" WB and throw those worthless Minnesota Mag wheels away on the drives-plus throw that lousy 8LL away
and install a 13 or 18 and you have a worth while truck. It will just require some mods is all.

Gets down around 8 or 9K and probably worth it, would not give more for it regardless condition.

Everything anyone else has is always worth gold to them, and as long as tier 1 and 2 engines are around someone will buy it thinking they are beating the system. But it's only worth it to me-to hang some flower pots from the mirrors.

LTL, No Ford parts available much anymore, just the Generic stuff. As noted those same MMs that the Dump Trucker had on the Corn Queen had issues locating. Will possibly be Outboard drums on Front cannot be on rear and the Noted 8LL, Lost Loser!! Not worth much here especially for a Farm Truck.

 

[Truck Shop]

It's worth more in parts and pieces .

 

[dieseldog5.9]

Guys around here like that 8LL, and the hendrickson suspension, with spokes probably 46k rating, and the hood is in great shape, with a low mileage b cat. Worth 10k in parts.

Whoever sold Ford heavy trucks here in New England, sold a ton of trucks,they are everywhere.

 

[doublewide]

I've heard that, especially with the dirt guys.
