    Came off a FB page called TrucksPlanet



    “It’s not often that you see an 80-year-old trucker, driving a 64-year-old rig, every day, but that is exactly what this month’s cover feature is about – and both of these old-timers are still going strong! Leon “Popcorn” Wheaton of Tolleson, Arizona has been driving since he was 12 years old – for 68 years – and the 1950 KW he drives has roughly 10 million miles on it, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at it because it still looks pretty good, too. But this month’s cover story is not all about a pretty truck – it’s more about the trucker. In his 80 years, Leon has seen and done a lot – and he isn’t finished yet!”

    64 year old truck. Assuming a 5 year trade in cycle that's 13 trucks he's saved the environment :)
