RFCDrum Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It would be cool to import an R Model or a Superliner from Down there. I wonder what it involves.

RFCDrum Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I know when I worked at H and H there was some talk about trucks being stolen and I was told if you take a truck and cut it in half of course properly so you can slide a rail and put back together that it was considered used truck parts then and would be stuffed into a container. Probably a lot of stolen stuff went this way by way of Port Newark on its way to Central America or other ports of call.

RFCDrum Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 12 speed with the extended range on the stick! I never liked the newer 12's with the switch on the dash. Was always a pain in the ass moving stick flipping switch no hands on the steering wheel. If I had a 12 today I would move it to the stick. That truck is in good shape.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Great picture Mark! Must have been exciting waiting by the mail box for your next letter from your pen pal. Technology has taken that away from us for the most part.

RFCDrum Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I like those visors. I bought a stone guard for my international from New Zealand. The only problem is it is for the wide cab S Series. At some point I will have it narrrowed down and re powder coated.
