It's too bad that we all (myself included) can't remember our own short comings at the exact moment a fellow man or woman is having one of their own.


Real men drive whatever will pay the bills, but will always wish they still drove Petes!

The Bighorn is a 950, we have a 900 at the farm. NHC 250 Cummins, 13 speed. Great for 'round the farm and the odd trip.
Some pics and a vid of it going through the gears and up a nice hill. (the bumper's off 'cause were taking the rad out now to fix it)

Yea those old Military trucks dont look pretty dont run fast but for a low HP diesel 5sp with low & high aux.box they pull or push good and I dont think you can tear one up if you do you are realy trying.

Here are a couple of pictures of a Dodge I drove in the mid 70's. It had a 318 Detroit with a 4X4 Spicer air shift. I pulled an end dump coal bucket in southeastern ohio.
