    I don't have any other pics that show the color better they are all on my phone. But it used to be a solid green color 5 yrs ago and earlier.

    LARGECAR359 I saw you today on NY I-87 southbound around 3pm just north of exit 17 and #### IT BOY is that a slick ride. Picture doesn't do it justice. See you a few times a week on I-287 in NJ and its great to see a well kept older piece of iron running around out here.

    Thanks man, I do wish I was more tech savvy I have better pics of my unit I just can't get them on here. To be honest, I'm not a big picture guy. Most ppl don't really get it, unless you see it in person. Even then, it's not like it used to be, only a hand full of guys really understand it. So, thank you I'm glad you can appreciate the amount of time I've put in to build that truck. It runs all year round, wish the weather was like this all the time my aluminum could stay nice. Shout me on 19 next time you see me, I'm always out and about on the east coast. Thanks, be safe

    I don't know how anyone runs a truck looks that all year round. That must be an incredible amount of washing. I've even thought of grounding and bonding but I just park it

    If I had the option to park it I would. It would save me a lot of time and money. But that's not my job. I mean I love a clean polished truck, but at the end of the day a truck is made to work. I respect everyone on this forum for the job they do, if you've been around trucking as long as me you know it's a very hard lifestyle. I do not think that this new generation of truck driver realizes that. Which is expected, comes with experience. However, I wish that drivers had more respect for the trucks. It's a quality that is lost. The truck and equipment are a reflection of the owner/ operator. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see, the equipment running the highways today are falling apart, just like the industry. Don't mean to get so serious and long winded here. But there is a direct correlation between good equipment and good rates. They go hand in hand.

    Rank I think I saw your buddy. Orange and black small bunk 359 Tuesday mass pike.

    Yeah he runs that route like clock work. That's an older truck than mine.....early '80's I think. He told me he uni-built the bunk. I've never met the fella just told him "nice 359" on the radio a few years ago and we holler back and forth ever since. Tell him the fella in the gold 359 said hello.
