Muck Boots 'n' Slickers - Life of a Livestock Hauler

Agree on the southern entrance. 2 daughters live in Lex. Granddaughter and hubby (worked for Red Bull in Louisville) bought a nice little house and large lot in Taylorsville. So, out the Bluegrass, up 55 to visit, wrong. From Lex out US 60, to I64, to KY55 at Shelbyville. Come down thru Finchville? an in. Much better. While they lived there and in visiting, turkey and deer within 100 FEET of back porch.
He got promoted, and they sold out and moved to Brewerton, NY (Syracuse). Red Bull pays good...

They are in the early 30's. If older, he said they would have leased it out and retired there.

 

Call me crazy, but I think it’s a mistake to stretch it

 

I gotta agree. My red standard hood was 265 but had a 63 inch bunk. I think 265 on a 36 may be a little much. 235 240 is just right in my opinion

 

It's sitting at 230 right now. He said it's Hendrickson and he is switching it to low air leaf maybe? He said he never intends on pulling a load with it.

 

It’s perfect for a mid 80’s small car. It’s getting harder to find clean examples of one.

 

Never in a big truck, but crooked as a snake is an understatement on that stretch of road.

 

I agree with woreout. Here's both of my 359's, they are standard hoods with 63 inch bunks. I left them at 245", but I am not a fan of changing up a 359 a whole lot. They are classy looking trucks the way they were originally built!

 

Two good looking trucks.
Well done on keeping them up.

 

Standard hood, 36” bunk, 278” wheelbase.
I like it, but I might be biased cause it’s mine.

 

Thank you, as you guys all know, it's a labor of love!
