    Boy that is sad news.. That man has endured a lot of heartache. I named my boy after him.

    Love on your family while you can folks. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

    Back off. I patented this thought in early 2000's with a fleet of volvos and low paid drivers! Well not really, carry on. But I thought about it.

    Most cabovers are simple to pull trans from the top with a crane.

    Right, however economically they were so far ahead of the game. 9-10mpg with mechanical engines. But hideous!

    that raw fuel, choke you out and smoke up the yard....before you fixed it?

    That's how the grey ghost got its name. Cracked exh man. + retarted timing, if you didn't know any better it looked like a head gasket

    That's a special option for the pros who's job is the buffet. It's an easy off. Or a momentum starter

    I don't know how things are in your area, but the 'social distancing' has had an odd effect on the women. "Thirsty" is what I think they call it.

    They always thirsty round here if that's how you say it

    Thirsty on the 1st of the month when the well fairy arrives

    Thirsty from dragging tree fiddy around

    Thirsty from arguing over the last box of heartburn meds.

    Really.? The football helmet was knocking down that kind of mileage. That's impressive!! Makes me like them even more. :)

    Kansas Transit, over in the car hauler area has got one with a Big Cam IV I believe..

    I hate to say this but he also built the 1st decent looking Cascadia I've ever laid eyes on. I believe it's the 1st & only flat top in existence.? I've personally never seen another..

    That abomination looks pretty sweet from here!

    I am personally unfamiliar with the Mustang II. Why is it they were disliked? The styling, or powertrain.? People just upset over a.new body design..
