    Yep, saved around 300.00 a load average. Two loads for everyone else was 4 loads for me, paid for the new engine when we went to get more power and the crane company loved me when hauling mast.

    Is that a 352 or a 362. The windscreen suggests a 352.

    I am living proof of a large car and long trailer getting hit in the hood from sticking out too far in a parking spot.

    These old trucks sure are looking good, and I mean really good, but at some point you gotta face the truth. The world keeps spinning and it's not gonna wait for nostalgics like you and parts of me. And let's be honest, not everything is worse these days. As much as they fall apart, rides are much quieter and more comfortable than they used to be.

    Some one has done the old school tire change I see, I hated that as a kid but had to earn my way into the shop and that was my first job.
