Rugged old iron haulers rig!

Carlot, only a relative few of the ACs were made,how did they compare to similar rated Cummins,Cat,Mack,etc in performance,economy? I've never driven one!

Cool looking fleet!

FWD, I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and saw most of the model kits you featured but they didn't seem to have the Revell or AMT brand,gonna look again I figured they were some off brand! Know what you're saying, about the knitting needle! Shopping with my wife is like drinking used motor oil!😁

Life sure is getting complicated!

Looks good! Have fun!

I've always had good results with Howes! Quit using power service because of the coloration, is it still purple? Thought it might leave a residue in the fuel system! I actually documented a fuel economy increase of 1 mpg on an 8.2 litre Detroit ! This was a hotshot truck, and smaller trucks are affected more by little changes(like a high load that drags wind) than class 8 trucks hauling more weight!

More room in the cab too!

I predict the new regs will assure that 2000 and earlier model trucks will be kept in serviceable condition until the frames literally disintegrate from metal fatigue lol! Perhaps a new era for " glider kits"😁

I hope the Argosy has gotten rid of the atrocious swing out cab step that was almost guaranteed to get torn off! In the early days of that model it was the most hated Cabover in America! That new model is at least good looking!

I loved running the southwest! OD on more than one occasion I have dh out of Florida and picked up in central. Ga. Literally paid twice as much! Is that little Cabover a Ford?

Appear to be stress cracks, from long hard use, likely other issues would appear even if you replaced frame!

I loved running the southwest!

Yeah 67 that F has been there over 30 years! When you mentioned the driving school it all came back to me!

It's been a long time,67, but I seem to recall that F model along 77 years ago! Do you run 77 a lot? if so did that F model seem to be recently parked along 77? I used to run that route a lot and that F just rings a bell!

Kinda like the look of the C!

It is surprising that Buick doesn't offer the 'velite in the American market! They've offered the overpriced poorly rated envision in America, the.velite would appear to be a better vehicle! The bottom line remains....I personally feel anyone who buys a Chinese built car should be eviscerated! There are reliable competitively priced cars of every description and country of origin built in America!

Must be a female tractor😁

Was trolling Craigslist today saw a really solid looking 67 kw 900 tri axle dump smooth alum 19ft dump none of the usual dents and scrapes you'd expect on a truck this old! New steering tires said to run and drive passed fed inspection. Cummins power 9 speed. 6900. Osage IA. AMES IA Craigslist. Willing to sell just chassis!

OD,find a load yet? Eastbound flatbed freight outta' the southwest tends to be cheap! Sometimes better to load part way back and do it again!...or grab a partial to get you to the nearest major city, sitting costs money! Good luck! OD ,I just googled " The Thing" is in Arizona on I 10, I thought It was on I40, in NM!

OD,you lucked out with the Columbus! I've been past the "Big Texan" a few times, never stopped, the Big steak as I recall used to cost about 40 bucks if you couldn't finish it in time the main problem is you have to eat the"fixens" potatoes salad etc! Do they still have billboards advertising "The Thing" was a tourist attraction in New Mexico, they had signs on every major highway heading toward it's location! Used to be 5 bucks to look at it!.A couple of drivers told me it was a monster looking fossil, obviously man made! Pretty good marketing scheme though! You see enough signs, your curiosity is aroused, I'm just too stubborn and cheap to pay 5bucks to look at some b.s. attraction!

Define brutality!
