Rob Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I always new you where a closet Paccar fan. Not bad for a tanker yankerNot me, no way, no lie. It's an older clean looking truck so I justified the purchase of a new camera by snapping it. Hopefully, and maybe, someone else might enjoy it.Fort's is a large tanker outfit in Morton, IL but I've never seen a truck that was not bright yellow. I suppose this is a lease truck? Don't really know. It's been sitting off in the side lot at the airport for several days, (probably broke down) but I don't know.

41chevy Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If that was in N.Y. with no tags on it and "just sitting" I look for a dead body in it.

other dog Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 so, what kind of camera did you get? I went from my trusty old Kodak to a Canon last year. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 so, what kind of camera did you get? I went from my trusty old Kodak to a Canon last year.I got a brand spanky new Canon 1200 series. It was only about $89.00 to the door with a 4GB memory card and it does take pretty good photos. I destroy cameras just about once a year so can't justify spending a bunch on them.That Kw was gone yesterday. I was wondering what the coroner's van was doing at the airport........Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I must admit, the Kodak seemed to take better "drive-bys" than the Canon does, and a lot of my pictures from the road are drive by.When digital cameras were first becomming popular and affordable I mostly went with Kodak as the software was very easy to use in comparison to others. My first Kodak gave out after about 6000 photos of wrecked cars and it was kinda expensive, $399.00 at Circuit City. After a couple of them I went with a "ruggedized" Nikon and it was a good camera but didn't hold up too long under the tandem of a carrier in the shop. Bought a Canon and have stayed with them since. They are slower to clock the images through their software internal to the camera than others, but usually take good photos. All cameras are quite cheap now that they are so mainstream.Your "Cannon" has nothing to do with a camera.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Green Dash Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Seminole is KW's name for it, but I'm not sure if the other manufacturers have a different name for it. I've always thought of it as a KW paint scheme because I've seen it on them more than any other truck and it appears to have been designed to fit the name emblem in the notch on the sides of the hood. Only one id drive would be the A? Model KW in Smokey and the BanditI don't think A is an official moniker given to the early models by KW. The second generation, which was introduced in '83 or '84, is known as the W900B, but I believe A was given to the early model by truck fans to distinguish it from the B and it caught on.
