4mula1fan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Good looking real truck. Wonder what the automatic, power everything drivers these days would do with one like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the automatic, power everything drivers these days would do with one like that? Ha! They would probably quit the first day! First truck I drove was a really old Mack, manual steering with a twin stick. I was hauling liquid asphalt in non baffled trailers. First try at takeoff about put me through the windshield! First stop sent me sliding halfway across the intersection. The old guy that was getting me started said not to worry, he had been with worst!LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mula1fan Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I bet you're right! My first drive was in a 72 Freightliner cabover, power nothing, with a 903 Cummins. It was a serious eye opener. I had a load of old glass Coke bottles on. Took me 5 minutes to let go of the steering wheel when I got to the glass buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
