Not really- I stopped and looked at it several years ago and the guys at the concrete plant said the owner pulled it out of the woods and parked it there. Did know his name, but I can't remember it right now. Craghead maybe? It's an A40 with a gas engine.

Not sure of the wheelbase with that set back front axle, but it's as long or longer than the Pete was overall and it had a 275" wheelbase.

I saw Art Reed in Montvale fueling up his R-model yesterday morning. He said this dump truck was a 1966 B-53. Got a 673 with a jake brake, 14 speed. He wants $7500 for it. He said the previous owner had the truck since it was new and had just had the engine overhauled and the jake installed when he had a stroke a couple of years ago, and recently passed.

I was delivering pipes to a jobsite, unloading in a field, and the TMC trucks that were there could barely move in the wet grass, just spinning the whole way with super singles and our trucks never spun a wheel.

"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.

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.

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.
