Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I hated to give that old truck up , Big Cummins Turned up to 600 hp and an 18 but that old girl had done a ton of work and was starting to show her age .
Boss had to get loud to get me out of it and moved to an anteater of all things . 430 hp 9 speed . 93 T 600 ,I didn't want any part of that ugly truck . Then I drove it . you could turn a corner without stopping and backing up . If you needed to see the front corner you could raise up out of the seat and see it . didn't have to raise the hood to go from heat to air . Stacks partially behind the cab so you could keep an eye on flatbed and lowboy loads better . The 430 was ok but I found the 9 speed was fine until you got in soft ground , had to "Heat " clutch a bit to move the heavy stuff . Still love the looks of that old truck but the T 600 sure made my job easier and a lot less fuel stops needed |
