This pic may be out of place or off topic, since the pics ive seen are cars. But since im a truck driver, this is what i saw today on the road, this morning going through Baker Ca

This is aggravating, i know this and my mind is drawing a fricken blank

Yeah I got the music cranking, Japanese TV My head is full of jasmine smoke I can hardly breathe Turquoise dragons slip and slide Sliding down my back I'm standing on this cold, thin ice And I'm about to crack

I'd like to see you in the morning light I like to feel you when it comes to night Now I'm here and I'm all alone

Heres some glam band era I got home late on a Saturday night And I knew right away something wasn't right I knew she was gone She took all I had, but left a hole in my heart Should've known it'd go bad, right from the start What did I do wrong

Kinda like my ol blue tick hound Likes to lay around in the shade I aint got no money But i dam sure got it made

She was full of piss and vinegar till the end. She was hilarious and controversial, she will be missed

Id love to see a CTS-V wagon myself. That is my dream family car/grocery getter.

Looks good JT. Im sure itll come out just fine. Truck and trailer both look great so far and will look right at home in your sea of orange

Chrome it, chrome it, chrome it. It only takes a day to strip chrome, and at a cost of what 5 to 10 bucks for whatever product you prefer for stripping. I say chrome it, it easier and cheaper that way for the builder.

Awesome bud

Many, the asphalt is a big 1, they also on the same job sometimes drive next to the grinder loading the old road surface thats being ground up, take that to the asphalt recycler which out here is usually the asphalt plant. The bottom dump set up is also used to bring rock and sand to concrete batch plants, brick manufactures, plants that make premix concrete bags for Lowes type places and raw materials to the cement plant to make the powder cement. The bottom dump is very versatile out here. The transfer dump truck is used the same way except when paving, the paver pushes the truck along, the bottom dumps dump in the middle of the lane being paved and a scraper style machine with a conveyor load it into the paver.

Hellish glare and inference The other one's a duplicate The Queenly flux, eternal light Or the light that never warms

And I don't know oh where I'm going I just want to be left alone When this train ends, I'll try again

So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are

Look up Diksen, CW Mathews and Joie. Dirksen/Gardner are the big company and probably the 1s seen most out here. My Dad learned how to drive at an old company here called MF Davalos, they are long gone. Then, they mainly hauled empty plastic bottles from thd factory that made them, to bottlers like Pepsi, Coke, RC/7up, Shasta and every once in awhile, now heres 1 to remind you how old we are, empty GLASS bottles to Gatorade. The trailers were equipped with a roller bed, 4 wide, about 10" wide each, that went the length of the trailer. The trailers have a kingpin set way back, just guessin about 48" from the nose, and tandems are set way forward, about a 12 ft over hang. The day cab and the odd kingpin and tandem locations get them legal. The bridge and overall length are legal thats how the trailers are able to be used.

Its hard to believe its plastic. Lookin very good.

This is my current project. Its just about done. I need to stretch the front frame rails at the motor mounts so the new bigger motor will fit. Gonna try to do some detailing ive never done.braided lines, pre wired distributor, brake lines and what nots. The color is duplicolor metal specs blue. Sportsman pro tires, convo rims. Did a little kit bashing on this 1.

Out here we call those hopper trailers. This will be cool build. I will be watching for sure

Yeah! They call me a redneck, i reckon that i am, but theres going on that make me mad right down to the core

Thanks everybody, the comments are giving me inspiration to get motivated on my prostar and 1 of my italeri petes

Heres 1 outside of whats being posted... I had a good friend up in New York city Never called me by name just hillbilly My grandpa taught me how to live off the land And his taught him to be a business man

drennen.bill@yahoo.com Heres bills email. Hey Bill, can you please post a pic of your 358 hood.

No problem man, and thank you. I have emailed back and forth with bill, i have no knowledge of anything he has beyond a 1/25 complete 379 conv, a complete w900 conv, and a 1/24 378 to 379 conv that he does not have right now, he said he might have it by Xmas time.

Here in cali, those bottom dumps, or dummy dumps as i call them, are very very common. They basically 25 to 28 ft long with a con gear for the b trailer. They are used and beaten to death like the super 10s and bobtail trucks on the esst coast. We can only haul 2 28ft trailers in cali on road. Off road, meaning jobsites, ive seen 2 40ft trailers, tandem axle both trailers and con gear, again bottom dumps. I drive a transfer now, which from what im told arent seen on the east coast. Its a dual drive truck with a dump box, and a trailer with a box thats on rails to transfer into the truck box. We can only carry 80000 lbs on a 5 axle unit. I heard you guys out east can get %age over permits off highways. The bottom dumps are mostly the setup you saw, but there are some dual drive trucks with 40ft trailers, not real common at all though. If you want info i can provide some more. Hope that answers your ?.
