A friend of mine bought this truck, put a new GM crate engine in it and went down south to get a load of square bales of hay. He has drive eighteen wheelers all his life but had never pulled a pintle hitch trailer. The trailer started walking going down a hill. He rolled two times and ended up on the bank beside the road. The engine has 288 miles on it. This was a very clean old truck.

He didn't get hurt in the wreck, but when he started to step back toward the road, a five foot deep ditch was covered with loose hay and he hurt his back and ankle when he fell in that.
