Memories for us old truckers

[Truck Shop]

I guess this means nobody's pissed in your cheerios this morning ,,yet

I don't eat cereal or breakfast , I don't give people a chance, because they will take it, people
are very greedy & mostly rotten.

Actually I went into see a orthopod about my right hip. Very small amount of Arthur Itise in my
hips, just some irritating calcium deposits on outer part of femur. So got a injection to control
inflammation and other related issues.

He said---I was in relatively good shape & had a very good attitude.

Things like above---I just don't get. 75' is max front to back-to operate that a extended permit is required, hard to maneuver, becomes so heavy with all the crap that is packed inside plus the amount
of fuel and the extra weight in added frame rails/liners, the steer axle is maxed all the time. Even
if only used as a toter for other vehicles it's not very driver friendly. Guessing 330 WB.

I took that pic at the Huntsville, AL show in 09. The couple that owned it looked like they might have lived in it.

This a interesting piece, not too rotten, actually not rotten at all. 1957 GMC 350.
Factory V8 which I believe is a Pontiac engine, 4 speed. $4,000.

That’s awesome! Even has the custom exhaust system to prevent catching the stubble on fire.

Nah--that's one best left stock, very few unmolested vehicles left, some of this stuff is getting
butchered then left as a mess in what's an unfinished project behind the barn.

That's why I thought you should do the job.

Interesting piece--just not interested in working over fenders. Haven't done that since the 80's.
And all I have is a 855.
