Brrr...If it has a Detroit it'll fire up easy.

I have to stop showing Brockways because I've lost track of which I've already shown

That's a stout truck. Nice to have the flatbed for misc. stuff.

I've been wanting to see one of those LoneStars cusomized a bit. That thing is sweet!

**special-K** · 08-18-2011, 12:48 PM

That Lone Star kinda reminds me of a PT Cruiser. It is pretty cool,though.

**special-K** · 06-13-2013, 07:35 AM

No? I thought you saw it. My bad. I should have told you,I guess. Well,it's hear now where the real truck guys are

*Peanutbutter* · 06-15-2013, 01:00 AM

Well, I don't know K, I thought I'd look for some pics to post but I think you done got'm all, all but the 456 C 80 series and the pink Kaiser sand and gravel. factorystock had a few kaisers but you would think there would be alot more. It looks like you been at this awhile.

factorystock · 06-16-2013, 04:35 PM

Kenworths were built with narrow noses and small front bumpers also, but like Peterbilts, they often go thru the same modifications over time and new owners.

*Peanutbutter* · 06-16-2013, 05:43 PM

Haven't seen this one posted yet.

factorystock · 06-16-2013, 07:56 PM

'61 thru '69 Super Duty's were nice looking trucks, got replaced with the boxy looking Louisvilles in '70.

*Peanutbutter* · 06-16-2013, 08:10 PM

Always liked that run of sheet metal on the big fords, it had great looks, if I was going to have a ford thats what it would be but I ended up with a 1995 F800 because it had 5.9 cummins and 545 allison, not a bad truck under the piece of junk cab. Steers good, stops good, rides terriable.

Not all days with a big truck are fun
