How a bout a heavy oldie?

junkmandan3 · 12-22-2016, 12:27 AM

10 axles ain't bad for a 6-71 ! And when the V-12s took over they had 13 axles, now they limit 'em to 11 axles.

**special-K** · 12-23-2016, 08:47 AM

That's got to be quite a load there. I look at that picture and wish I was there to watch (and hear) him get those wheels up to speed. It doesn't take much to visualize it. I feel lucky to have lived during those trucks' time

When we would travel back to Virginia going through Pennsylvania back in the 80's and 90's, we would stop at a restaurant that was at the bottom of a long hill. Detroits were everywhere climbing that long hill with full loads. I would always suggest to have lunch there for some reason, lol.

C10 - C90 Bill · 12-24-2016, 07:12 PM

Nice !!

**special-K** · 12-26-2016, 10:05 AM

They do exist! (M&M commercial) Seriously, every one of these I see makes me feel happy another exists out there. It gives more hope that one day maybe one could be mine.

68panelman · 12-26-2016, 10:49 AM

That's a nice one,
Is the side marker on the hood an add on?

It definitely is not original. It looks like one from a pick-up.

**special-K** · 12-28-2016, 11:48 PM

Someone took a lot of pride in that one.

junkmandan3 · 12-29-2016, 12:23 PM

Darn sure looks better than my Chivvy !

**special-K** · 12-30-2016, 07:23 AM

Looks even better compared to my seventy none

I sure miss the old hand painted and lettered fleets

watahyahknow · 12-30-2016, 08:01 AM

worked for a truck chassisbuilder back in the 80's and they still had one of those man that painted the letters by hand , was interesting to watch

**special-K** · 12-31-2016, 01:56 AM

Yeah, sign painters are getting to be a rare breed. It is very interesting to watch them work.

All stacked up ready to roll

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-14-2017, 07:22 PM

That's a good looking load, but No Head Board !!

If he ever had to hit the brakes hard, that whole load would shift forward.

That's pretty good, a John Deere Diesel Engine in a GM Truck.

I've got a GM Diesel Engine in my John Deere Tractor, lol.

(Optional 2-53 Detroit)

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-15-2017, 11:42 PM

I did a little research on the JD powered truck and it seems like very few, possibly only one, was made and they were never marketed to the buying public.

watahyahknow · 01-15-2017, 11:59 PM

i would immagine being a farmer with a lot of john deer equipment running the same type of engine it would be interesting as the spareparts jou would have in stock for quick maintanance and repairs will fit on most of the engines in youre fleet
