Olivetroad Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My wife rode along to pick the truck up,and for some reason she was a little pissed when she found out we were picking up another truck,seams that I was a little vague as to the intended cargo we were going after.So when I saw this sign,thought it would be a good idea to stop for lunch.It worked,kinda.That restaurant reminds me of one up the highway a few exits - The Pizza Cabin - I bet they don't have either of those pizza places on the east coast. I also bet that the Pizza Ranch is like The Pizza Cabin in that it does not serve Perogies?

57 bcr Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've had this cab for a long time,and it definately is 110% better than the cab that's on the maroon one now.I was always hoping to build this truck someday,but where it needed an engine put in,and a cut off,I knew it would be a long ways off,but now by combining the 2, I should have a decent truck in the end with alot less time involved.They are pretty close relatives,actually.Both 1960's ,the green one is #28121 and the new one is #28453. Mike,I remember going to Florida in '74 and there was a steel hauling outfit that was running a bunch of green sleeper cabs like that.Do you know the history of that truck?

Superdog Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Calvin had a beautiful truck,too bad he got bit by the red oval bug and sold it.Jerry Howard owns it now and I'm sure it's still in as nice of condition as when Calvin had it.It has a 300 Maxidyne,backed by a Quad,and an air tag axle.He fitted the B75 radiator and had a hood built to fit.Calvin is a super guy,definately one of a kind. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23511-its-home/page/2/#findComment-104692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to buy one of those things, then take advantage of the available free labor around the shop to get my own stuff done. After a year or so of this pattern, I'd give the kid the truck.
