We ran 101's and D's in the late 60's through the mid 80's. I really enjoyed the D's they were alittle warm in summer but throw a windshield on them and they were cozy in the late fall and early winter. When I read Lekas comments about the king pin on the 101's it brought to mind when the 4 front trunion bolts on one of our D's snapped when I was cruising back to the black dirt stockpile, I was in top gear flat out it really got my attention!!!!!
I have had this exact thing happen on my first D-pull.
Seems there was a lot of stress on the trunion caps and bolts.
I don't think I was going too fast when it let go, but not a pleasant experience!!
Great pics of the 101. The 2nd one we had was fitted with an A/C cab from the factory. Very flash!!!!
