It's Home
My son and I drove out to Buffalo last Saturday and picked this 72 3/4 ton up. I won it on eBay and I was sweating it out all the way there, hoping I didn't get burned.
Well, it turned out to be a pretty good truck, needs lots of work, but nothing more than I expected for an east coast truck. It was neat driving along the NY thruway and getting a bunch of "Thumbs Up' from passers by, one guy followed us into a rest area and talked 67-72's while we fueled up and checked out the truck on the trailer. I'm a long time Chevy guy, had a bunch of only Chevy trucks in the past and have been drivin' a big truck for the same outfit for 31 years. I retire in a couple of years and this will be my daily driver when I shut down for good. This site is will be a big help, my wife thinks I must have a girlfriend here, cause I spend so much time reading all the great info. So Thanks to all you pro's who share you knowlege, and to the guys like me who work in the family garage, Thanks for asking those great questions. Robin Lauer, Winsted, Connecticut |
