I guess I can bore some of you with pics of old trucks I've owned.My first truck was a 69 CO4070A,actually ran very good,and was set up well for its time.Had a 335 Cummins,13 spd. direct,with 4.10 gears,tall tubeless rubber and 230 gallon fuel capacity.Picture is from 1974,I believe,was leased to Daily Express back then,heavy haul outfit out of Carlisle,Pa.They are still in business.Fuel was less tha 50 cents back then,could fill that truck for less than $100.
The tan truck was a 1977 Eagle 4300,bought it new,was one of the first Eagles built.Had a 350 Cummins,13 spd. od.Really,liked that truck,back when the big truck manufacturers spent time and put multicolor paint jobs on trucks,instead of all the one color trucks you see now adays,eventually stretched the frame and increased the wb. from 200"to 235" and got rid of the tubed rubber.
The black 4300 Eagle was a glider kit I bought new in 84,and built it in 85.A glider was a poor mans way to get a new truck.You bought just the cab,hood,sleeper frame and radiator and front axle form the dealer.You would install your own engine,trans,rears and suspension,and then trim it out,exhaust,tires,options,etc.Built it with the guts from the tan 4300.Lots of work drilling those frame holes,was young and ambitious back then.If you look by the drive tires,you'll see one of my young sons.He's 33 now,has a 379 long hooded,high sleeper Pete,among other toys.Apple doesn't fall far from the tree,lol.
The last pic of the black 4300 is me moving a the 120,000lb engine house,from a river dredge.That steel box has several big Diesels in it,plus all the hydraulics for the dredge.When we would move these,it was about a dozen truckloads of stuff that went with it,pontoons,spuds,booms,etc.Hauled one down to Mexico once for gold digging,also hauled one to Washington to dredge volcanic ash out of the Toutle River when Mt.St. Helens blew up in the 80's.
My current truck is a 95 Eagle 9300,525 N-14 Cummins,15 spd.Truck only has 610k original miles,I'm semi-retired,do less than 10k miles a year anymore.Trucking sure is different now adays.

 

My little farm truck with the silage trailer.

 

Dads truck hooked to my new wagon till I get my girl fixed. God I love all the lights, didn't get a shot of the back before it got cold and the snow started flying but top rail on the back is covered and they're darn near touching. Almost feel like my dads truck may need a few more lights lol. I know it needs more ponies under the hood.

 

Smaggs looks like an old Freeport transport 379...

 

Very nice truckergirl. The house across the street looks oddly small.
