    Funny; I don't feel old reading this thread. We had some great trucks and a lot of fun trucking . We were living "old school" it was great.

    Helps being retired and looking back.

    I miss the sight of an old truck grabbing another gear then that black smoke rolls out as she settles into the pull.

    Exactly!! ;) I don't set the world on fire but when pulling hard my truck does fairly well, kinda nice walking past a newer truck.

    Especially when it's a five axle, and I cruise past with my excavator on a six axle. I at least know who has more weight.
