Never Stand Still

I had one of those when I ran Linehaul. No fuel gauge, no air ride seat, no am/fm radio, no AC. Truck had nearly 2 million miles on it so you can imagine how great the inside of that nasty cab smelled. LOL. Boy are we spoiled now days

 

I forgot no cruise control... haha were really spoiled... I'd go crazy without that everyday.

 

Yup, no power anything sums it up. Glad I didn't have that truck but a couple weeks.

 

Dam ill never ##### about the penske junk I ran in my alliant days again lol

 

Since this is a CF thread it's worth noting that they were notorious for specing their trucks very cheaply. Note the lack of upholstery on this 1990's COE's door, the 5 gauge dash (8 gauges was standard) and the 6 or 7 speed transmission. CF also special ordered a two headlight setup instead of the standard 4 headlight system the FLD/FLB usually had.

 

I went to the American truck historical society show in des Moines last summer and there were a couple late model unrestored c.f. trucks that I looked at the interior of and yes they were bare bones stripped ....and when I say unrestored I mean they hadn't even been cleaned yet ...the word filthy comes to mind lol.
