Where is everyone #5

Well, ya know, me and food, and beer, kinda got an understanding.

 

I agree there is something about them. I grew up riding on the doghouse of my dad's Freightliner. I sold my money pit last February.

 

They have out lasted the rocker pannels, cab corners, bed sides. Maybe time to change them.

 

Slept many nights on a FL doghouse. Dad put his briefcase in front of the lower door window to sneak me in and out of steel mills. Hard to imagine I once fit down in that space. Lol.

 

The wires? Or the rockers, cab corners and bed sides?

 

My ride from years ago

 

Me too. Dark green Intl 9600. Don't remember much about it other than it rode rougher than rough

The only truck w/o a bulldog on the hood

 

Late 1988 I think cause it was still warm. Dad had a new 88 FL cabover, 444 Cummins, 13 speed, and I think 4.11's. 1987 set of City doubles. Day time going east on the pike. Im asking him how fast it will go? 103 eastbound hill he got a 87 mph ticket in a 55 mph. All it had. He had 4 coils on for 115k payload. Would be about 147k gross. Fisher body back to Worthington If I recall correctly. State patrolman never asked if he was loaded going east, or at that speed. 30 day tag in the window. Now the best part, I was told to hide in the bunk, behind drivers seat. They took him to the patrol car. He spent the next 30 years telling everyone that would listen how much I cried thinking he was going to jail. That story got kinda old to me, yet I'm telling you folks.

 

I can't believe how balls to the wall things have been lately. Think I'm gonna head in to work an hour or 2 early tomorrow to get some stuff done uninterrupted. Likely going to put in a half day on Saturday as well at this rate.

 

Wires are original. Body is falling apart.
