Cabovers

I knew a guy I hauled rail cans out of Green Bay with, and he had a stretched 352, about that long. He didn't last long in the rail biz,,,for obvious reasons. An old timer told me some words to live by,,,"Never step on your steer tire to get in your truck",,

 

I have been putting my pants on the same way for the last 35 years in a sleeper with out smashing my head..not a problem..
JMO.. but those truck are still ugly..let alone climbing like a monkey to get in the ugly things

 

How about a Hyundai!? I like their Dry Vans.

 

Thought I'd weigh in here too. This is mine. They make more sense for the combinations he run here in Western Australia as our laws are slightly different to the eastern states. Much easier climbing into one of these than a Kenworth, although Kenworth do a tilt out step on the K200s.


There's a few pictures of the Kenworth step on here.Kenworth DAF Hallam - K200

I've never used one though, so can't say what they're like...

 

I had never seen those. Only the current gen Argosy steps. Brilliant designs.

 

Yup this one tugged at the heartstrings a bit. I applaud you my friend. Hope you keep us posted on your journey.

 

Good looking truck. Good luck in your endeavors.
