other dog Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I posted that picture a long time ago,when Rob was saying something about Peterbilt's usually being behind a wrecker. Thought i'd deleted it long ago but just happen to still have it. That's me waving from the passenger seat. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

BJsDad Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yup, pretty sure 325 V8 is right, don't know what they had behind it though. They also had 2 tractors pulling tankers back and forth to the tanker farm in Fairfax pulling fuel and gas to the truck stop identical to the wrecker. Might know someone who can give me the a little more info on the specs, I think they bought them from a local Mack dealer a buddy of mine worked for. I'm not sure, but I think the tractors may have had 375's. Or maybe I'm thinking of the trucks that replaced these, he always had them with the same specs.Toms Brook is one exit north of me, had a chance to apply for a job driving one of the fuel trucks once, but had no desire to pull a tanker or fuel.
