Where is everyone #5

I'd take a 1960's pre-Jake, pre-air-ride, pre-auto slack adjusters, etc etc whatever before I'd drive a new Volvo. Except if I have to go through Indiana, then I wouldn't want spring ride. Those roads are something awful.

I've been finding out that this 470 C-13 in my truck pulls like a freaking beast (very unexpectedly at these weights). I'm running 90,000 gross (with 60,000 on the trailer) and got 5-direct on the 7% up-grade on the north side of North Bay, ON. In my old 550 C-15, I got 5-over at 93,000 on the 7% up-grade in Cochrane, AB. I feel the 3.90 rear end probably helps (3.70 in the old truck), but 53 psi boost also probably contributes.

With the new X-15 units being delayed because of permit issues, I'm thinking the trucking gods might be telling me to stick it out with this truck. She's real special.

 

Only if you look like an outlaw. Oh wait @wore out you do look like one....never mind.

 

You've got the fries and gravy, just toss in some fine Wisconsin curds and you'll be in Flavour Town. Everything is better with cheese.

 

Them ky barns give me the willies

 

I love fried chess curds!!!

 

Yes, but not the one's from Culvers. They have to be fresh curds, fresh fried.

 

What I been in today I look like a regular law abiding citizen..........
17 model, nothing like the ol ### dumpers I'm used to. I'm trying to get the hang of it

 

I'm salivating for the moment I get my old W900A finished and get to take it for the first run. Hopefully it'll be moving under its own power this fall.

 

I expect to see pics and video. A model is the only W9 I like. It's got a proper hood on it, not that sloped thing.

 

Well this is the current situation......

Cab needs a bit of body/structural work before it can go back on. Can probably knock that out in one good weekend.
