BillyT Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Nice "stick hauler" scarecrow, that photo is an optical illusion, At 1st I thought it was a single axle pulling a short three axle trailer.After closer scrutiny I realize It's a full screw straight truck with a steerable tag in front and one in the back! Heard a rumor that back in the day when the coal haulers in Wva and Ky were running mostly 2 stick Spicers and Mack quads when dad was teaching his kid to drive he'd sit in the co drivers seat with his tire thumper and every time the kid went for the clutch he'd smack him in the knee with it! Lol I've delivered new Ford's to almost every dealer in Wva and quite a few in Ky I have the greatest respect for you coal haulers and stick haulers in those hills!
