rottin1 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Here's a picture of my last truck I drove. This was my buddies truck that I drove for him for 5 years. I used to haul auto parts from Syracuse,NY to the metro Detroit area and back. I used to run through Canada to Port Huron, Mi. I used to get alot of compliments on this ride. It had a 550 Cat, backed with an 18 speed. She used to run right up there around 100-105. Not that I never did that!!! The truck has since been sold to another friend of ours and now pulls either a dump trailer and a garbage wagon. Someday, I am going to buils a replica of this in 1/25. Thanks for looking!

rottin1 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks Greg!! I hated to step out of this truck believe me! I had so much fun driving fo 23 years. With all the rules and regulations, any more it's not worth driving. That's just my 2 cents! Kudos to all that do drive for a living though!! God bless and safety to all!

rottin1 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 Greg: As a matter of fact I have seen that Marmon running around here. If i'm not mistaken , I think he lives a couple of minutes from me. At one time it said Tiger on the door. I think he runs for somebody different now. I like that truck. It's a good looking ride. I was (and still) a big Marmon fan. I used to run with a bunch of guys out of PA than all they ran was marmons. Both COE's and Hoods. East Penn to be exact. I'll see if I can't snap a pic of that Marmon around here. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Albion Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Johnny, The 379 looks superb. I don't know what the regulations are like in the US or Canada, but here in the UK they are very strict. Every Single aspect of running and operating a truck is controlled in law. It seems everything in life these days is regulated!! :roll: Great Truck.
