"drive it like ya' stole it!" you mean? We used to turn the top of the breather over on Ma's '71 Impala all the time when I was a teenager. Nice car, 4 door with a 400 small block and 2 barrel carb.

Oh, yeah...it's a nice comfortable truck-rides good, drives good. It's got a 10 speed, oughta have a 13 though. Just ain't got no power. But i'm still getting used to it, maybe it'll get better when I learn to drive it properly. And talk about slippery, when you ever do finally get to the top of a hill you don't have to touch the accelerator, it takes off like a rocket down the other side!

Made a trip in the new unit. Been a long time since I drove a truck that was that weak. It has no power and it might as well not have an engine brake, it's pretty much useless. But, from Lynchburg to Dayton, Ohio pulling a drop deck with only 18,000 lbs. on then running empty to Sharon, Pa. it got 8.1 mpg. I loaded 44,500lbs. in Sharon going back to Lynchburg and it got 6.5mpg. for the entire trip. Here's a picture I took this evening after I got back and hooked back up to my regular trailer...same spot where I took the last Peterbilt picture. Speaking of Peterbilts, there was one of them at the yard today too.

I asked the guy that posted the h-model picture if he had any more info, and that was his reply. I guess you'll just have to call that number.

you're welcome. I saw it on facebook. Tom (anteater)

The ones that really scare me is the brown recluse. I knew a couple of people that were bitten by them. I don't know that i've ever even seen one, but I still get Jo to put my gloves and boots on first in case there's a spider in them.

no! even though this one does have a friendly looking face it's probably up to no good.

ditto

Good looking trucks he's got, except the bullnose is pretty rough.

D'oh!!!- ya got me there!

saw this on facebook. it's located in Ga. somewhere, and whoever posted it said it "ran when parked 20 years ago". The owner had about 25 old trucks and trailers and recently passed away and they were selling them, but I have no further info on exactly where or who to see. They wanted $1,000 for this H-model.

oh.

Is that that tire balancing powder you're talking about, or some magic powder? They used to put balancing powder in the tires at H.H.'s and I hated it because every time you checked the tire pressure it would get in the valve core and hold it open a little and cause a slow leak. They stopped using it for that reason.

I don't like the stacks behind the sleeper either.

Yeah, I found stuff I forgot I had too. Even after I put the stuff in the new truck yesterday I still brought another pickup load of stuff home and threw it in the back yard. I don't really need 400 corner protectors or 5 oversize load signs. Yeah, i'm hoping to get to Colfax.

I KNEW i'd forget something-I gotta run over to Concord and get that inflatable sheep -I mean doll- right now. Too bad he didn't get the fenders painted black though, that would look pretty good.

My input was zero. I expressed my opinions of course about what i'd like to have- I even asked Jeff what he thought about trying out a big Mack truck. And I told him that I hoped he kept the Peterbilt until it fell apart. In fact, the last time he talked about a truck he said he thought he'd keep the Pete, overhaul it around 750,000 miles, run it another year and then trade it. But...I think this new truck was left over from the new ones Todd had ordered for the company, he got an offer for the Pete he couldn't refuse, so he took it. I'm sure the fuel milage these 13 liter engines are getting had a lot to do with it too. But i'm happy, you can't find better people to work for or that are easier to get along with. And i've been knowing them for years, Jeff and Todd were still in high school when I went to work for their grandfather, H.H.Moore.
