Where is everyone #5

He must pull a hopper bottom.


Bout half the trailer tires in most any line is just painted black

 

@wore out this is the very nice Pete from the above Smokey and the bandit clip. Is this a 358? The behind the bunk exhaust is funky. And look at them little bitty fuel tanks

 

There’s usually a generator to run the hydraulics

 

If Bruce still has the picture I sent him, maybe he will post it again.

 

Yes that’s how my mechanical works. I kinda gathered that was the magic @AModelCat was asking about

 

Mine use a 9hp Honda gas engine.

 

From what we can piece together, Martin was the 2nd owner and I believe I am likely the 4th. I can't remember the exact KW dealer the guy I bought it from said he got it. I'm thinking it was the same one Martin traded it in at and the timeline from when Martin traded it to when the guy bought it is pretty close. The guy I bought it from bolted a water tank on it and hauled water part time. I think he said he retired it in the mid 2000's and the last CVI sticker expired in mid 2006. So it definitely sat for about 8 years before I got it. I started stripping it down in February 2015. It is really cool knowing almost all the history on this truck now.

 

Will do!


October 2014. 2nd day I owned it. Went to town on it with the steam cleaner.

 

When I bought it, it was a company owned logging truck, traded in, and I also used it exclusively to log with.

 

I never noticed this truck was from right up the road in Pa. I googled it and it says it's a '79 359. It's on the internet so it's gotta be true...right?!
