Why is this truck so big?

They took over our old yard and before we moved out they must have seen all the equipment and stuff we move and thought it was a good idea to get into the business but they have no experience. The way I've seen things tied down is scary. They sent a guy down to the port to load a rock truck truck who's only ever hauled btrains. He didnt even know how to detach the neck. Took him a whole day to get loaded and he ended up being way over height with the type of trailer he was using. They Hit an overpass with a piece, didnt tell the customer and drove the rest of the way with the piece damaged only to get it rejected by the customer. They've lied to my buddy's dad who was getting a time sensitive piece shipped. It had to meet a ferry in northern Canada. They said they were well into Alberta when I sent a photo of the piece sitting 3 hours away from where they loaded it. Just complete idiots who should stick to undercutting flat deck work than moving over size loads. Being East Indian owned prob has something to do with it.

 

New Canadians....perhaps someone makes a factory hole in the floor with a dump chute now.

 

Since we were talking about good looking trucks... Too low for my work but she does look good....

 

I'm sorry CNSPER, it must be the age in me, but while I appreciate the effort and workmanship that goes into a build like that, I am still a fan of the classic look with chrome and a visor that doesn't cover half of the windshield. I'm 6'4", so I'd have to have my butt right on the floor to see out of a truck like this. I don't even want to think about throwing chains on it.

To each his own, eh? It does indeed catch the eye though.

 

Always thought Star Cars looked great with a flat-top, much better looking than their Stratosphere...

 

Nope, it is not my taste either but like you I appreciate the work that went into it. I hate those visors too. I can't drive with my ### on the floor. Maybe that is why I do not like cars or especially vettes.

I just thought it was a nice looking truck. Like I said, it would not ever work for me.

 

The white one does nothing for me. Now that 2 tone does look good. Maybe it is the one color that does nothing for me. And what are you doing stealing photos from Hoovers?

 

I'm with you on the visors. We picked up a 379 Pete a couple of years ago that had been "pimped" out by the previous owner. The visor was well over half way down the windshield and the shifter was almost touching the roof. I drove it in and I refused to drive it anymore unless the visor was raised and the shifter was lowered.
Seems today's super truckers want the low visors, high shifters, and sit with the seat right on the floor. I've got long legs and if I sit low enough to see out of one of those big visors, my knees are in my chest. And I look like a monkey trying to climb up there to reach the shifter.

 

Just saw this and a couple Western Stars in KS.

 

Yea there pulling some big loads. I think it took them a week and half just to get out of Texas lol
