Memories for us old truckers

[RollOver Pete]

Wow.
Since I just inframed my 06, it's gotta be worth at least $45k.

 

[RollOver Pete]

And I just now serviced its horns.

I went from a 2wd 96 auto to a 4wd 07 6 speed. Night and day for towing.

A 12 valve Chevy.
Nice

 

[JPV]

That's what this is, my 84 that I put a 94 12 valve in. I will keep it forever I think.

I bought a 1987/ 1989 ? i dont have it home yet chevy R30 4door 2wd single wheel. I dont need or want the extra doors. I want a 1979/ 1999 1/2ton 2 wd regular cab. If the it wasnt a big frame R30 i would chop the cab and change the axles. Maybe i can sell it or trade. The 4 door older 1ton chevys are every were when you want a plain cab.

Legendary designer Larry Shinoda was responsible for the Ford Boss 302 and Boss 429 Mustang. He always called Fords VP Knudsen {Boss}.
He also worked for White truck and tractor division and carried the {Boss} name there too. White Road Boss.

The first time i ever saw a Silver White tractor was the first time for square headlights. I thought it was a one off show tractor.

Sleep Rite-canvas add on sleeper.

 

[DMiller]

Now that would be crude rude and unrefined sleeping!!

 

[Truck Shop]

Everyone at the truck stop would know when you farted would swell like a balloon {Ralph is out in his sleeper tent lighting farts again Martha,
every time he eats a Chili Size it looks like a night glow at a hot air balloon festival.}

 

[Old Doug]

There was a guy here that hauled grain i dont know if he had a flat floor grain trailer but he built a sleeper box under the trailer .

This is the portable all you hotshot welders need.

 

[DMiller]

Appears to be an old cut down Caddy!!

 

[Truck Shop]

I think it might be a 1930-

Buick appears closer match

I love the picture! Dunno about the truck but the welder appears to be a Hobart. It looks a lot like my old Hobart GL318 but with an additional generator feature for power. Mine is a 1953 model, so a little newer than that one but similar and also has a chrysler 6 cyl engine. Mine has the longer 6 cyl ( 25" ?) so it should be a 251 or a 265 i think. I've been burning a lot of rods lately with mine on my scraper hydraulic conversion project. Its sure hard on gas though and it really bellows when i've got the amps cranked up for gouging with the air-arc. Thanks for posting that picture TS

Appears to be special modified rear wheels. Looks like some kind of inner disc with a few reinforcing spokes on the outside

 

[Old Doug]

Its hard to believe that wire spokes could hold up and from all the old pictures i have saw they were preferred over soild steel wheels back then.
