No caps on steer tires PERIOD! can't emphasize enough just how dangerous that could be! there have been many significant improvements in caps over the years,longevity,safetywise,but not for use on the steer axle! better to spend the money on a good set of seconds.......................................Mark

Thats a good eye Ernie,thats EXACTLY where that picture was taken!........................................Mark

Heres a couple of my CX when it was brand new,first trip to CA,truck had about 2400 miles on it ! these were taken somewhere in Utah if i remember correctly.......................................Mark

The R-Model wrecker in the middle is a former High-Point Garage truck from Union City,NJ Great picture!................................Mark

Brown streak? nah,i ain't touchin'this one! LOL!..................................Mark

Heres a few more from the "vault" when my Grandad retired,sold the farm,kinda left me without a job,so Pop put in a good word for me with a local small fleet operator who was looking for a driver,hired me on the spot with Pop's handshake. I ran this R-model for about 5 months in the summer of 1981 for Barry Cairione Trucking Malaga,NJ he owned three trucks at the time,this R-model another one just about the same specs 300+ 6-speed,the one i drove was the newer style,the one next to it had the illusive "hood scoop" both on Camelbacks. He also had a White Road Boss II,which was a real "turd" formula 290 Cummins,9 speed Fuller. I enjoyed running for him,made decent money,home everynight,but just was'nt enough work to keep us all busy in the winter,so i took a job at Atlas Van Lines,but that is another story!..........................Mark

LMAO! i know just what you mean! growing up in South Jersey, we moved "down south" a few years back,went to a local "sub-shop" i ordered the closest thing i could find to an Italian Sub, "ya'll want mayonaise on that"? WTF? NO!!!!!!!!! you putting mayo on an Itaian sub in Jersey would be blasphemy! just is'nt done! you could get you ass kicked for just the suggestion!...........................................Mark

That would be a BEAUTIFUL picture if you could photoshop that "peterman" out of the background! LOL!................................................Mark

Heres the guy to play "me" now, Sipowicz from NYPD Blue!......................................Mark

Welcome aboard! originally from South Jersey where you guys at in Philly?...............................................Mark

I figuered probably Staten/ Long Island somewhere,i got a lot of great pictures back then,just lost quite a few of them over the years,i'm in the process of scanning the ones i have left into the computer,should be some real treats!...................................Mark

No,unfortunately not,i did have,but a great many of my old pictures were destroyed/damaged some years ago,i do remember seeing the mixer from the movie "Easy money" (Rodney Dangerfield i think) there that day also (Scara-Mix?) as i go through and scan these into our computer,i'll have a better idea whats what,just going to take some time...........................Mark
