    Growing up I remember seeing semis everywhere with those stickers on the windshield and numerous license plates (1,000 years B IFTA-before IFTA,LMMFAO). For some reason I used to think KW T-600s used to look like Mercedes-Benz cars!

    making that truck brand new, the first S-10 came out in '82 and the interior and grill were changed for the '86 model which first appeared in the summer of '85.

    I remember Freightliner COE from the mid 70's. They all looked the same brand new and 20 years old. Carriers in the 50's and 60's reconditioned trucks instead of trading them.

    I'd forgotten about s&h and gold bond stamps...lol
    I used to fuel where I saw the stamp sign under the truckstop logo.
    Collected them and used to redeem them too.
    Nasty ,gummy, warped stamp books. Bulky and a pia quite frankly.
    Early form of reward points that I had long forgot about.
    And who here didn't enjoy changing clothes while lying down?...lol
