Mike77 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) I saw a flock of Reliable trucks at the local Love's truck stop today...five of them. This was the most decked-out one there... Edited June 20, 2016 by Mike77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) A Peterbilt 379 we passed just south of Modesto CA on Hwy 99 a couple of months ago. Another 379 spotted on I 5 by the Outlets at Tejon just north of Grapevine CA at the same trip. A Peterbilt 379 we passed over the Tejon moutain pass around Pyramid Lake on I 5 north of Santa Clarita CA. A Peterbilt 362 on Hwy 91 just east of the I 710 the same day. Allt of these were Peterbilts, I didn't see many good looking KW's that day. A day later, Peterbilt 379 Tanker. This is not how you want to see a truck. A couple of trucks from your neighbourhood Clayton, Peterbilt 379 and 359 at a friend of ours place up in Hesperia CA.

Fabrux Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 This is not how you want to see a truck. Wow! That carrier is a local company and that container for sure came through the Port of Saint John...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thumbs Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 @Force, great pics. Do you have per chance a shot or two of the black hot rod from the next to the last pic? I think I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yes I do...but it's not a hot rod...it's a 32-33 Rockne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Saw this in Fresno this week. Early 90s Freightliner cabover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thumbs Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Clayton, that Freightliner is seriously cool, my opinion.The AMT model of this truck lucks a heck of a lot different though. Why? The pic seems like the cab is a lot wider than the model. Also, the "huge, flat front" looks like a real wall of steel, very angular and the visor is a must, again my opinion.What's the deal? Were later Freightliner's a different body, or is it just my viewing interpretation?I could really see myself building that nasty looking rig.

Were later Freightliner's a different body, or is it just my viewing interpretation?I could really see myself building that nasty looking rig.The truck is newer, 90s. I believe the cab is a little wider, the grille is totally different (which may also make the can look wider), I also believe the cab sits a little lower. This truck is obviously stretched, it's lowered and the visor is mean, I'd like to make one for my next custom Freightshaker cabover.

10thumbs Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I did a little researching, there was a slight difference built in during the Freightliner COE days. As I understand, mid 70's it got this wider grill and bigger windshield and was named the Powerliner, still the same design otherwise.The AMT model needs some work to get this look. I'm thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotnitro? Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 a few pics from today's Brockway truck show in Cortland NY. There was an excellent turnout considering the high , muggy temps and forecast rain. The forecast didn't dampen the celebration !!! This single drive really looked amazing.. The high temps made everyone comment about the other common NY weather around this snow plow! My personal favorite..finally seeing the infamous TWIN golden HUSKIES !!! That could only mean one thing ....HUSKI DRIVE !! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Nice looking Brockways. Saw this at the local ice cream shop the other day: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Certainly a beautiful truck that presents itself well! Just my opinion, but all of the attendees were winners..they all drove Brockway trucks!Did anyone notice the "other"truck that arrived and was parked around the corner? Guess the bulldog felt left out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
