best/worst looking trucks

best looking, conventionals Pete 379 , 359, & kw W900 ..COE 1985 & later KW K100
worse looking conventional Freightliner FLD, Century, Columbia, & business class COE FL Argosy.. just my opinion.. can you tell I dont like Freightliners ?

 

LOL HMMMM I wonder why sidewinder???

I dont mind some of them but that is with a screw gun and some self tapping screws handy everywhere you go to keep it from rattling apart in most situations.

Altom trucks look pretty good going down the road too. They are IMO just about the most professional looking out fit out there.
Nice looking trucks. I love the people who preach the whole "chrome don't get ya home" crap. It really doesn't cost that much to add some parts to dress up a truck. I've got Panelite air cleaner lights front and back and Alcoa hub covers that I've moved to 3 different trucks, so the cost there was trivial. And polish is cheap and as long as you don't let your wheels/tanks get bad it takes very little time to shine stuff up. It just make me sick to see guys driving a truck that looks terrible because of laziness. Makes you wonder what their house looks like. I'm not the most motivated guy but if I can polish 14 wheels and 2 tanks on a sunday afternoon, you'd think a guy could at least wash his truck.

you know i cant agree with your statement. it all depends on what you do with your truck. i run local intermodal with mine. im in and out of container yards that are mud and dirt and rock. i would spend a fortune in just truck washes. i have too many other things i need to spend my money on...like bills.

 

There is a company where my parents live. They run coal buckets. I don't know of any other kind of trucking that can get a truck so dirty so fast. They have about 12 trucks. Not a big operation, but every weekend they are out there washing their trucks. They don't have the nicest trucks out there but they sure do keep them clean.

 

freightliner for the looks, kenworth for the reliability

 

I kinda like the freightliner coronado and older ford cabovers...

Daniel Lauzons chopped top peterbilt 379 with the 2000hp c18 cat!! he races up at the big rig races in Canada... he hasn't been doing too well the last 2 years I dont think, then again with vincint coture and Coga tearing up the raceways hes got a long ways to go

 

theres a 389 pete that we see frequently at work for maintainence. it is friggen sexy lol. its blue, got a nice big grille gaurd bumper and sits up nice and high for oil patch use. got 7" stacks on it and muffler covers that extend up high enough to cover the stack vents that are required for the trucks with DPF's. also i love the look of a good old 379 pete. a 379 pete with an N-14 is the ultamate truck in my books.

 

...hmmm... a month after I wrote this I took a job where they primarily ran Volvos... such is life.
