Bottom falling out on pre-emission trucks?

I'll be right there with ya ...Iam to set in my ways and to old to change way ways

 

Here's a serious offer
I'd pay you a finders fee if you found me 1 of these.. I would give you a bonus if you found 1 with the original sleeper And I can't remember what year mayday 1981 or 1982 they came with the rectangular headlights but more bonus $$$ for you too...
Also if you don't mind send me the info on the 1980 ..359 you were talking about .
The next post below is the truck Iam looking for I could get it to upload in this post

 

Theres still lots of old antiques out there being worked everyday. 40-70 year old trucks owned and operated by 20-50 year old folks. You just don’t see them doing the otr or coast to coast slave grind.
Some of them have had the cabs put on newer chassis and drive train but most if not all are still 100% mechanical engines. Theres still a few guys running cows and heavy equipment statewide that have a Kta and 1693’s.
Bunch’s of us don’t run and jump to the nearest dealer just because something new and shiny comes out.
I truely believe every time you go out and buy something new we as a society are bringing it one step closer to the demise of automotive freedom. The only way this new tech that is going to self drive and be electric is getting out there in the world is we keep buying it. I for one don’t.

 

There is a 30 year old guy that is running a triple green one with a factory installed matching double eagle sleeper out of Grand Prairie TX. He runs tire loads everyday. I think it’s a bc 3. The paint is original and in decent shape.

 

I did my 1st cow hauling in 1 with a double eagle sleeper back in 1980.. those truck's are so simple even a caveman can fix 1... lol
I don't think I ever seen 1 with a Cat motor.. and the 4200 short hoods all had driptroits it seems all the 4300s had Cummins its seems like..
I want 1 to restore to pull my low boy so I can send this Mack to a new home

 

I should of clarified better I didn't want for you to have to leave the comfort of your home I was hoping to talk you into just surfing the internet for 1..I don't seem to have the time to screach like I should
Most the farmers here in Iowa all have newer KW 9's and 389s.. they have nicer trucks they use 60 days out of the year than
I drive everyday.. they would cut up a old Transtar I've been looking for 1 for a couple 3 years.. their rare as he's teeth it seems
And I would not ask anybody to do that for free especially a member here

 

Thanks.. it doesn't have to be in my area if you find 1.. the last truck I bought was 1600 miles away in the Butt hole of creation Utah.. I was doing my taxes a week or ago and totaled up the miles I drove last year trying to buy trucks I guess my habit was few more miles than I realized it was 5160 miles and still came home empty handed
