Great shots, Clayton.....You know I'm diggin' those race rigs.....Gives me some more ideas....Thanks a lot, Man....

And that's a pretty cool looking old truck, Mike.....Wow...I'm not sure I'd be able to bed down in one of those tiny sleepers, though....I'd probably freak out.....lol....

I have driven Route 66 from Topock via Oatman and Kingman, to Seligman and boy was that cool, lots to see...but after Hackberry it got too dark to see much so when we came to Seligman we continued on the I40 to Flagstaff, the day after we took the I 17 down to Phoenix, unfortunatley it was too dark when we left Flagstaff in the early morning so we didn't take the route through Sedona...well maybe next time.

Here are some more cool trucks seen under a couple of my other trips to your country.

We'll start with these taken back in 2006 and a Kenworth W 900L I saw near Venice Beach CA outside a car dealer.

Another truck, a Ford F650 shot on a parking lot near Venice Beach CA.

Now we skip ahead 3 years and land in the year 2009 and a couple of trucks at a friends property in Hesperia CA (your hometown Clayton). ;) .

Two Peterbilt's...the black 379 he had just sold when I took the pictures and the green 359 is most likely still there...he has had that one as long as I've known him...wich is about 16 years.

He also had a 63 inch Peterbilt flat top sleeper when I was there last.

I have more pictures taken under my trips and I'll continue with more of them another day.

I want that green Pete

That's exactly why he's doing it Clayton,i tried to talk him out of it (I woulda had him buy a Mack) but the deal on the WS was too good to pass up!...................................Mark

I found these, thanks to the tip of a friend, in the bushes of Belgium!! :o

I got there I was shaking, I never did see an American Cabover! :o

I need to go back! :D

These are 1 cab attached to chassis and 2 loose cabs. ;)

Saw this baby, this morning....It was quite a bit on the dirty side, but my man quickly got to rectifying that situation.....

Wow!!! Now that is a long wheel base. What did it need to pull for a such a long wheel base?

Believe it or not, Charles, I saw it later at a truck stop down the street with a city bus on the trailer.....Wasn't able to get a pic of it, though.....I was headed to work.....

ok, didn't see these today, or ever in person, but photos of photos that my grand dad took. a couple of them are dated 1978, the others, I am unsure of the date, but must be fairly close.

Saw this in a parking lot while getting some supplies. It was for sell. I was very tempted to take out a loan and buy it, but I thought better of it.
