    It's a good flick. I suggest it.

    Tom Hardy made mad max fury eoad road. Concept was there, but it definitely wouldn't of been the same without that calm never phased character.

    Do you have a DVD player?

    This one I found by accident. Not only does the individual have this one but has a 77 352 3406 A model cat, a 74 frieght shaker with a Detroit , 79 astro 318 and and 7 other restored cabover in a garage at home. The truck in the pic has a 400 Cummins with either a 13 or 15spd. Evreything is there just needs to be repaired rebuilt or replaced. The gentleman across the road works for cooper kenworth in Clinton and said cabover parts from kw are pretty much non existant

    I tend to know alot of older o/o in my local area. A good friend of mine has a 76 bicentennial 359 that he's owned since I believe 1978. His family across the road has two 900a kws , that run , sitting on the edge of the woods. Down the road from there a gentleman has 3 359 that just sit in the back yard including an old autocar. I pull for alot of farmers, get to know em, and then it's a lemme show ya what I got in the barn lol

    It's all about personal preference. For me new trucks do nothing for me and at 34 I'd rather have that old pete or kw then one new off the lot. They have stood the test of time for sure

    I misunderstood your post. The orginal gentleman I spoke of is more of a collector

    However he does drive a bit. He says he can't stand to see old trucks scraped out so he brings em home and has a yard full

    I'm thinking you may need your own yard just for parts with some custom out sourcing or specialty kits. sounds like a spendy proposition.
