Popular Post mack mhe9 Posted January 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2014 Well it made news in our area. Don't know the facts but it appears that a car stopped to pay a toll and a truck did not so the car is underneath the truck. The truck driver made it the car driver didn't. Always becarful. Then I get up to the Tappenzee bridge and this guy was parked on the bridge while these guys were stilling the crap out of the back of his truck.. Alway check your mirrors.Stoped to eat in Pa they had a 4200 sitting out front v6 jimmy for power. Don't see many 4200's any more. Or 4300's for the matter.Then went in side and they had a grill setup for truckers to sit at, but I didn't think I was qualified so I sat at the counter.Then there's this R. I just love the look. It always running around my area.This was on the web. No idea about it. Just different. Every one be safe.

rsb502 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 That R is badass with the big turnouts and floats on it, wonder how it looks clean...... I dont think I would be qualified for that grille front seat either, not on the chain drive wallet, big ego payscale, lol. I wonder if there is a bad bump behind that truck with the load getting stolen. I had pics somewhere of a Howard Baer trailer that broke like that, they had it loaded heavy right in the middle with drums of something and hit a pretty bad bump and she broke down in the middle, driver said he nearly crapped his pants when it happened at 70mph. All in all another nice week of pics Ray, we thank you for your support!

smorse54 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thanks for the pics Ray. Hate to hear of fatal accidents,we all got to pay more attention.I like the Pete grill thing,where is that at?I just loved the 4200 and 4300 models.In the mid 70's I worked at an IH dealer and had a lot of hands on with them.Most were good old 318 Detroits,had a couple VT903's we sold too.Nice roomy trucks and mechanic freindly to boot.Did you get to McDevitt's this week?

mack mhe9 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 The restaurant is south of laporte pa on 220. My dad drove dumps for a couple years they had the 42 and 4300's he drove the 4200 went along hauling sand or what ever in the summer.Yes drove the truck. I like the chaise but didn't like the eng it shook like when an air compressers building air. And it has 4.10 with 11 24.5 tall. They said they would put 22.5 on but then that creates a hole mess of things. Trying to get the 5th wheel lower plus cruze at low rpm. The cab was roomy, liked the bunk yet some one took the heater out and left all the holes in the floor and bunk wall.

Green Dash Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm not sure I could eat with a big ole Peterbilt looking like it wants to have ME for dinner. I've always liked the 4200/4300's also. IH must've liked them too because the used that cab until around '99.
