I was wondering if anyone here knows anyone who could look over a truck 60 miles east of Austin. It's a 99 Freightliner FL70 with a sign crane on it.

I've got an 02 NPRHd too but 5.7 gas and 4l80e trans. Just had the trans rebuilt a couple of weeks ago at 250000 miles. Threw a used 50k mile engine in at 225k.I didn't want the deisel as a 5.7 small block is a whole lot cheaper to replace. I paid 2000 for the truck 6 years ago, 1000 for the ambulance body and 1800 for the bucket. This thing doesn't owe me anything.

"Bad" driver and the B Model

We had to watch those type of films when I was in drivers ed class in 1981. They were very real. Still can't forget the guy pulled out of a burnt 65 Impala. He was totally blackened and crisp. About as graphic as you could get. -

Herbie Fleck is a great guy. I got my Autocar from him. I usually drive that Pete in the video to Macungie. -

Massachusetts does not have gvw on antique registrations truck or not. They are in the same class as RV. When I get an inspection sticker I am charged the auto rate not the commercial truck rate. This is all done thru the state RMV computer system. On another topic you can pull a trailer over 10k as long as the towing vehicle and trailer gvw does not exceed a total of 26k. This is actually written on the back of my CDL license. So a 12k gvw f350 can pull a 14k trailer and be non CDL. Just don't hook up to an f450.

I've git antique plates on the Acar, R model and my 57 IH those are insured by Hagerty for $430 a year total. The B model pickup is insured through Grundy full insurance ("classic car") about $150 a year and they did not require me to use antique plates. I can drive that one any time I want. I guess they figure it's a low exposure situation

OD just put antiques plates on it. Insurance thru Hagerty or Grundy costs next to nothin.

Big purple was parked behind our trucks and where we had our chairs set up. It was interesting to see it right up til the dingus who brought it fired it up every 15 minutes and went wide open over and over with the exhaust pointing straight at us. Then he would do the same thing withe the detroit in his pickup. I guess he wanted to be the local mosquito control.

Usually 5 to 6 hour run

I'll be there. I think it's my 24th or 25th tome

Now that's something you don't see every day

I'd just look at the truck from the side and look away when in front of the truck

There were 3 more there yesterday

My 67R600 had 22" rubber tube type. My tire guy got me 24.5 wheels no problem when I changed to tubeless. Might need different spacers in the rear though. On a side note if anyone close to Boston area needs 22s I have the old tires still mounted that are available cheap. Really nice steers rears 3 out of 4 very good.
