Nope, but we did have to decipher the clicking sounds and press a button in a certain order to say what we wanted to say. Usually one guy listened in on every conversation. Oh the secrets that man had.

 

Truckdad, whenever I see a cabover like this, the memories come flooding back.

Any of you drive a cabover where if you took a left turn to fast, or especially a sweeping left curve, the passenger door would swing open?

And after a while, you learned to spin your wheel back to the right to slam the door shut again?

Good times.

 

The doors on this old kW I'm in now come open all the time!! This should change tomorrow.

 

HA! I have my collection of Overdrive's from the late 60's thru the early 80's and when I get the time I enjoy looking back at the "Truck of the Month" and the "Tractor Disection" articles.

 

I drove an '80 Freightliner COE down a concrete section of 101 in northern CA and the passenger door window rolled down by itself. Don't know if that speaks about the road or the truck............

 

I worked at a shop from age 11-18, part time. I don't know how old I was, shop owner bought a truck from a local logger. We were going somewhere after work on a shakedown cruise, me in the passenger seat. First LH turn my door flung open. Man oh man is that a funny feeling. I think I put on my seatbelt and held onto the door after that!

 

Look at the similarity between these two. The first belonged to the guy I worked for from 68-73. 60 model, 262 cummins with T-590 turbo (water cooled!) 10 speed cable shift roadranger, Page & Page susp. single drive. Very quiet inside as the doghouse was well insulated. The newer pic I took from a book I have, guessing its a model late 80s??? I think someone stole our colors!!

 

@Chewy352 should like this one. What a great looking load of hardwood out of Quebec. Some gorgeous black walnut!

 

That's a beautiful tarp job. To bad the trailers got sissy tandems though.

 

We have rolltites with tri's. These tandems have a split and they spend a lot of time going south to the US.
