Favorite old school truck?

I always wanted a cabover like BJ and Bear. That was one of my favorite tv shows as kid.

 

I would love to get my hands on a aerodyne, but it will not be painted like that. Too many trucks out there with that scheme and exact colors already.

Hope this comes through......
1978 small cam cummins 13spd, armstrong steering, A/C, 411 Rockwell rears. Bought new by Homer Weatherholt at H&W Trucking in Ona, WV as a glider hit. I had just replaced the power divider in this pic.

 

Try the picture thing again.......been to long.

 

That is sharp. I have a line on one that needs an engine and tranny, it used to be a nascar hauler. I have too many irons in the fire though, once I get the w900 finished I really need to get the maroon K100 in working order.

There is is one other aerodyne I know about that has a K series cummins in it, the guy has yet to put a price on it but it won't be cheap. I have two other prospect trucks that I may end up with, one is a K100 single bunk that has a 3408 in it, it is pricey but not too far off base for the setup. Then I know where a double bunk flat top like my others that can be had cheap.

 

Smokincat, I don't know exactly where this truck is now but I understand it went to Kentucky. If it would have had power steering it would have been a super nice truck, I never had a problem with a cabover, some guys hated them but it is just opinion and what one likes. The original paint scheme on this one was yellow with brown / gold stripes, I can still see it in my minds eye setting in Mr. Weatherholts back yard brand spanking new with the frame setting on sawhorses (glider), never knowing about 12 years later I would be driving it. Funny how things happen.

 

There we go.

 

My mostly finished project truck.

 

My semi retired 84 359. Goes for joy rides and pulls a 32 ft. car hauling trailer.

 

Saw this for sale on Craigslist a while back. Turns out the guy that owned it lives only a couple of blocks from my in-laws. I really wanted to talk to the owner and check it out up close, but no one was home when I went by. I love old Bulldogs. My granddad drove a B75, and I grew up riding along in my dad's Superliner.
