james j neiweem Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Great family pictures. That Pacific is a beast. Wish they were still made to give Paccar some competition.

mrsmackpaul Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 A lot of people that collect old trucks or just plain like them have a totally different opinion the trucks than the the men that actually drove them 50 or 60 years ago Fantastic photos Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64543-a-few-pics-from-the-family-album/#findComment-462395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Agreed I think back to the trucks I drove over the past 50 years, and each new one made us softer and softer. My new 2020 T880 is better riding, and easier to drive than my 2014 F250 pickup is. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Popular Post tjc transport Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 8 hours ago, Licensed to kill said: I've often said that "back in the day" when trucks were noisy, low powered, rode like lumber wagons, had Armstrong steering, fans on the dash for "AC" and air wipers that barely worked, truckers were TRUCKERS. It was not the cushy job it is today. Between shows like "movin' on", "BJ and the bear" and "Smoky and the Bandit" romanticizing trucking and the creature comforts being introduced into todays trucks it's a whole new breed getting into the occupation than "Back in the day". oh so correct. but ya know, if it were not for those creature comforts, us old timers on the last leg of our trip would not be out on the road, because we simply are wore out like all those old battle tanks WE wore out over the years. it is nice to spend the last few years before forced retirement in a nice ride. i remember the old tanks with armstrong steering, 210 hp and a quad box, top speed 45 mph, fantastic air conditioning in the winter, and even better heat in the summer, bias ply tires on three piece rims that liked to pop the ring and try to decapitate you, brakes that just barely stopped you when empty, and undivided highways. but on the same token, pace of life was A LOT slower back then and people had respect for trucks and gave us the room we needed to navigate 3 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
