Oh, good deal then- you should always put a chain across the front of sheet pilings, lest they slide to the front and kill you if an idiot in a 4 wheeler pulls out in front of you and you have to "lock 'er down".

I stick with Rob on everything, always have- and he's not even my uncle. Only time he ever fouled me up was when I took his advice and told the D.O.T. man to "blow me" when he pulled me over for a random check. I suspect he was joking, but I didn't know at the time. That's the only bad advice i've ever gotten from Rob. After I pulled my 2 years in the big house after that, i've been a model citizen.

Great looking truck. We had many "stretch" trailers, or "extendable" trailers as some people call them. Very heavy to haul regular loads on though, with the double frame, but a very convenient unit to have if you do occasionally haul a long load. I think we weighed about 38-40,000 with them empty. We had some that stretched to 80'. As a long time flatbedder, i'm not even gonna get into hauling pilings like that. I'll just assume he's already taken the safety chains off the front.

It is located on rt. 119 in Connellsville,Pa.

dammit!..that's the view I used to see back when I drove a 379exhd, 550 cat,18 spd,3.55's- pre-p.o.s. paccar school bus motor, 15 mph. in the low side on every hill days.

I found both of them...cat too.

I took that with my old 35mm camera, I don't even remember where it was.

here's a cool picture.

I can handle this one- let me do some quick math here...hmmmm...this is 2012-that was '08...12 takeaway 8 equals 4...26 and 4 is- I got it, she's 30 now- or almost 30, depending on when her birthday is.

reminds me of the big brown spot under the window when I lived in Appomattox. Bedroom was upstairs but the only bathroom was downstairs...sometimes i'd get lazy.

let me know when you're coming,i'll cook some spareribs for you!

always watched "McHale's Navy" when I was a kid. Figured he must've been getting pretty old.

crap...out of likes again... I mean "Amen brother!"

...Years of getting treated like dog poop only because you are driving the truck that is delivering the products that they sell... I've run into that for years, everywhere you go, delivering and picking up. Seems like all the world hates a truck driver for some reason. Guess that's why i'm a hateful ol' fart now,eh?

Used to be able to make some money with a pulpwood truck and a good saw. Lot of saws were worth as much as the truck- most were beat all to hell, all the glass broken. Lot of folk 'round here went to 1 ton trucks instead of the usual 2 tons, because they were easier to load by hand, and there were several wood yards around that bought 5' wood so you didn't have to haul it too far.I can tell you one thing, that is hard-ass work! My younger brother, myself, and a friend went into the pupwood cuttin' binness one summer, when the friend's dad was clearing some land with a D-7. We figured "no need to let all that good wood go to waste, we'll become pupwood cutters". They had a '58 or '59 Ford F-600 that they took a cattle body off of to make a flatbed for hauling hay in the summer, that's what we were hauling the wood on. Had 2 saws, a Poulan and Daddy had a McCulloch we used, neither was a "buffessional" grade saw, they were what people typically used to cut firewood with. The Homelite XL-12 with a bow was a popular saw with "real" pulpwood cutters then, back when Homelite's were blue instead of red. 'Bout kilt us trying to cut and load a load on that thing, all by hand of course.

I do now, never noticed them before- you shoulda gotten a dern patent on that device! I'm also outa likes for the day.

randyp...your public is eagerly awaiting some type of response...

it's hotter than a half f****d fox in a forest fire here.

I think you're the only one that's recognized him yet.

"and don't come back to Woolworths!" - From "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", as Everett McGill is being thrown out the front door. Tried to find the clip on youtube, no luck. Another great movie.
