    No, man I wish. I just made it my avatar although I am looking at a 77 W900. I can dream of owning one like this truck. I found that pick on Google and it had a an rticle about the owner though if you can see each it.

    All 100 of my trucks are 2000 or before. I do not really care for these new fiberglass, plastic, ungrounded, aerodynamic, electronic overloaded, DOT in the jump seat trucks today. I prefer the old school trucks made of Iron and Steel. Real engines pre electronics, and low horse power. My trucks all have 600 or higher hp, 15 to 18 speed trans 2:62 to 2:90 gears. I even have some old Peterbilt 352 COE 1965 - 1972, and a few Peterbilt 359 ex hd's.
