Mudflaps on my Truck - New to pulling Containers

Hi 'olhand, actually, the old Pete was better than some trucks I drove. I drove an R model Mack that was used as a spare tractor when yours was in for service with manual streeing, and I got "charlie horses" in my arms driving that ol' horse. The boss said, drive that truck for a week, and you could arm wrestle anyone and win.

 

^^^^^Lol wore....how bout twin screw cabover Big R.... Road Commmode.....w/one of their giant white plastic steering wheels....

 

HA, a Road Commode. I'll bet there's young 'uns that don't even know what that is.

 

world FAMOUS WHITE ROAD COMMANDER also made the ROAD COMMANDER II

 

Thanks to Hank's truck pictures. http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/morton/2004/cd01/roadway_rc_2_semi.jpg

 

Drove a RC II big bunk with 400 CUMMINS and an AIR STARTER , truck had some torque in it liked to eat U JOINTS and drop the drive shaft on a regular basis

 

Our apologies to Lunchman, but that's what happens when you get old timer's ratchet jawin'. I remember those air starters when I was a kid. You'd hear them in the night, and we'd always wonder what that noise was. Weren't they on gas tankers, so the electric starter wouldn't spark the fumes from unloading? White made a darned good truck. My 1st truck, an '82 Western Star had a lot of White parts in it. Made money with that truck, pulling RR cans. There, I tied it into the thread.
