  1. Kind of ironic. The first truck I ever drove was a cracker box. I am the first truck I ever drove when I got my class. One license was a GMC Astro training for the license was R model trash truck and wait for my license on a old Plymouth rock U model aaaaaaahhhhh. The good old days
  2. We had an outfit like that in my area. I don’t know where they were out of but they used to keep passing gas station. I was working at at the time trucks were gorgeous. They were all black little bit of chrome polish tanks tanker outfit they Aran U,R and B models cash oil sales.. top notch equipment
  3. I would guess no
  4. From where I park it and where I work on it it’s a little difficult to get it back to the work area too much shit in the way, and the turning radius is terrible on that I was trying not to run into the quad box I have on a pallet sitting in the way
  5. Oh my god that’s horrible. Thanks for that. Not sure if you caught this but took that out of an old Mack calendar years ago it sits on my bedroom wall. Sounds like a well run outfit people were proud to work for..Bob
  6. It sounds like you’re talking about a cracker box. That was the first truck I ever drove in my life at 16 but I never left parking lot

  10. I remember a buddy of mine back in 1975 bought a brand new R model model dump truck 10 wheeler I think he paid 60 grand and back then we thought that was a lot of money. It probably was ha ha
