Where is everyone #5

To me the grill looks like a cheap Marmon knockoff. The roofline is straight copy of International. I don’t know where to begin on the headlights. Should make trash can breathers an option.

Some folks are gonna like em and I got no problem with that. Just sharing my opinion. Maybe it’ll grow on me.

 

I was feeling experimental I guess.

I'm not a super big fish kinda guy. Fried is fine, I guess. I've had sushi ONCE -- never again. But if I see it on a menu and the place looks decent enough... I'll try it. I got a big loaded potato with it so I mean... I guess it evens out!

Plus, a small girl isn't finish her whole ribeye so you best believe I got some nibbles in LMAO

 

The air cleaners are.... awe inspiring. To say the least.

"What air cleaners?!?"

 

Boy there's a Country song/video waiting to happen. @shogun

 

Not to be nosey, but whatever happened to this idea? Did you lose interest or was it just a class you took or what stwik? Just curious.

I was always interested in becoming a draftsman, engineer or machinist.....but was born in a trucking family and I grew up with trucks all my life. Naturally, I'm a trucker through and through and always have been since my sandbox and grade school truckin days. I spent the summers with papaw and uncle John on the doghouse of them old 80s model cabovers.

I loved them all. Kenworth, Ford, international (4070 and 9670) but my favorite was uncle John's 1979 red cabover ford CLT9000 double bunk. We called it "Rocket" with 400 big cam, rto 13 and neway air. Papaw had a 1986 white cabover Pete that I loved too.

I been knee deep in trucks forever, but theres always been a side of me that wanted to really build stuff. Technical stuff. Precisely designed things. I still have the itch, but truckin still my number one. I guess it's kinda a family legacy thing.

 

That's the first thing that I hated about it.....lol

 

You can get stainless or galvanized all thread. Not my personal first choice, I would rather buy or fab a U bolt for that application. What diameter are they?

 

I love a well marbled ribeye as much as anyone, especially eating the fat. That being said, sometimes I like a piece of redfish, grouper, blackfish or chilean sea bass. Some restaurants really know how to prepare it. And with the fish being lighter, it leaves room for dessert.

 

I know I'm a little late to the party. Dad came home with one of these when I was little. It was all over from there!! He mostly pulled reefer trailers. So I guess I was born into truckin'. Other than turning wrenches this is all I ever wanted to do. Got my first job driving a tow truck in '87 and here we are 31 years later and except for a few years wrenching and a few operating crane (which I was still driving when I wasn't operating) thus is really all I know!! It definitely gets in your blood!

 

At the threads they're 5/8". I wouldn't want something all thread as it would chew up the paint on the frame rails.
