Mark I think you’re trying to tell us allotta folks with everything don’t give a rats ass about the rest of us … he’ll of a mess they got down there… and appears to be way worse than any of us thought….. nothing any of us can say or do to ease thier unfortunate circumstances as we mentioned the media is not doing a whole lot of coverage but then again they probably can’t get in the troubled areas -
It says 63 but it looks like it has the plastic dashboard. I don’t know still I’d like to have it. It’s a pretty good price 2500. You can’t get tires for that.

I’m sure you remember that thing I didn’t really see the point because it one point he was completely changing the cab which I thought kind of spoiled the whole thing what you do that you’re taking away the entire history of it. It’s just a parts truck now I don’t know that was just my opinion.

That thing looks like the evil Knievel truck somebody was redoing a few years ago. It’s pretty cool. I would like to have it.

I have seen that truck at Watts more than once it might’ve been pulling the same trailer, but I was more focused on that tractor. Don’t see many with the nose sticking out past the fenders. We all discussed that trade I don’t remember why that is haul Scott perhaps and yes it’s a cool trailer

Yes, I imagine they would and Tom I had the same problem coming out of Montana one night it was 25 below 0 they told me with the older Kenworth you have to pull the sunvisor down to get defroster to work right of course we don’t have to worry about any of that now… bob

I almost bought one afford also come from a freight company out here Willig freight lines . It was a diesel engine guy only wanted 1200 bucks. I passed only because I really didn’t need it. I just kind of wanted it.bob

I do remember seeing a roadway , but I did see quite a few of them running around 60s and 70s and 80s they were quite common for sometime. GMC also had a version similar. Bob

I did not guess it was that far back seems to me. It was pretty advanced for 1957.

Yes, I forgot all about him. I told they brought him up on the news.

Longshoremen chief negotiator - "I will cripple you"
mowerman replied to kscarbel2's topic in Odds and Ends
Besides I used to be a teamster years ago And I was asking one of the representatives about far-fetched demands and he told me no we don’t expect to get anything like that. We just shoot for High and settle for anything decent. They hand us kind of like selling a car you set up with a very high price not expecting to get it if you can get it fine and that made sense to me. I was just a very young guy back then. -

I’ve actually been up there numerous times where they close the road right behind me. It was so bad also chained up one night and they close the road. I had to turn around and go back and take them off.
