Lets See Your First Truck!

'89 Pete 362 with an 18" custom sleeper extention, 3406B, 15over, 400 gal fuel capacity, 4 mpg (2 in a decent headwind!).

 

I don't have photos of my very first truck. But I have the first photos I took of one of my trucks back when I did the company lease thing.


When I first started to add chrome and get her looking spiffy.. before I got aluminum rims on the drives


my wife, my truck, Vail Pass

 

roughhouse, the freight-shaker looks sweet, don't sweat it on the steel wheels I think they look just as good sometimes when the rims are nice and white and you throw some chrome hub covers and lug nut covers on there.

 

Thanks man... but I don't own her anymore. I kinda wish I did, but the fuel was eating me alive and I gave it up when Van Pak went out of business.

This is my current truck...



These are shots I just took of it recently,after being repaired and getting an entire hood, bumper, driver, side mirror, grill, driver door and internal parts put on it. Nearly $14,000 in damage. Had a rookie driver nose dive into a parking space and drag his trailer all the way across my hood... Notice, they have not got the black mesh grills by the pete emblems on the hood back in it yet.



Here is one I took during repairs

 

rough house if you dont mind me asking do you pull for long haul trucking??

 

Update to my original post on this subject.Truck(1980 GMC General short chassis Short Nose aluminum frame 6V92 Fuel Squeezer 9 speed direct drive) finally was delivered 2 weeks ago.Made a few videos of the progress.Mainly made these for a few web buddies that wanted to hear that double breasted screaming jimmy talk.Not bad for a truck that hasn't seen any driving or fresh fuel since Clinton was still the president.....Yea,the fuel is actually 14 year old red diesel.Test drove it today for the first time.Drove it 12 blocks.I can't shift for #### yet.....but never drove non-sycro tranny other than around the yard when I washed trucks for 4 months at a local outfit.Gotta figure out the lights.Got Gremlins...Along with some minor air system issues.Tuesday,I plan on getting it titled and tagged as a Vintage Vehicle here in Bam Bam and then drive it around a little more.

Well I am a long haul trucker. I run Foster Farms dedicated from usually the Montgomery,Al area to Livingston and Turlock, California and back... Sometimes I stray from that path if the pay is right, but You will usually find me below I-40 working under the authority of Fineline Trucking.
