    1979 K-100. Gonna take offers soon. All original. Complete. Bought it in 1984, drove it for 24 years. Parked it when I bought my former 1994 379. 2B23F8C7-9BF9-4499-AFE5-5E5B309BB0A1.jpeg 2B993B8C-57BE-47C7-800B-6A0D6FFB2F11.jpeg

    That's pretty sweet. Don't see really any of those around much now.

    You look just pleased as punch. :)

    I had that same look on my face the first day I climbed into one of these as a driver after spending years of my childhood watching the smoke clouds they always left behind. You don’t hear music like this anymore.

    Wow, that does sound amazing! Nice truck. And yeah I sure was. I washed bullwagons for a time too and loved it because I loved being able to see their trucks and I didn't mind getting dirty, but hell I'm sure it was funny watching me because it took ALL of my body weight to try and hold that hose steady on full blast! First time I didn't know not to spray the corners and yeah....sure you get the picture on that one. Regardless I loved the job and drivers for the most part were nice, but them Canadian bullhaulers are....different to say the least (sorry to y'all good ones out there).
