How many Million Milers do we have?

One Gear stick and Power steering--o wait todays trucks--u mean like a 2013? Never mind these trucks have absolutely NO SOUL--mines an 05--and it is borderline--LOL--
But seriously cant compare--apples and oranges--I just feel lucky to remeber the differnce--although IF I HAD MY WAY--some of the ease of operation of the brand new trucks NEEDS to be engineered out--u would be surprised how much better of a driver--all NEW drivers would become if they were FORCED to pay a east a little bit more attention--IMHO

 

Absolutely!! You have 10 years on me but I started in a '67 Mack R-Model so I KNOW what you're talking about.

 

LOL--62 B76--still the best looking truck out there!--LOL
But check out the R-Model on this page--Id go back to driving her tonight!

Was it sort of a faded red color ...... paint code 'Mack R Red' ? I think we shared the same truck !! Did it smell ? I always thought Mack R's smelled like an old lunch can until one day I found out why. I dropped my lighter and found an old, completely un-eaten, rotten, moldy, brown bag lunch under the 'milk crate' seat.

 

Yep it was red! Not faded but it sure did smell. A few months later and I moved up to a '77 Mack R with a 300HP engine. Woooo!

 

Drove 26yrs lost count at 2mil...i used to keep all my logs but lost 8 totes full in a fire 7yrs ago..First truck i bought was a 9000 ford (2 story bug catcher) with a 6v92ta and a 7spd direct 355rears.. Slow slow slow...

 

last month made 19 years driving i have 3 million miles under my belt. its been a fun 3 million miles. especially the first 2 million

 

Does almost a 250K accident free miles count?

 

You're on your way!!
