Still a common sight around here. Almost a large pickup sharing the same cab with the smaller breathren. Probably a 350 with a Clark, or Spicer five speed, and two speed Eaton rear.Could also be a 366 engine but the 350 was much more common. See a lot of old tractors, wagons, implements, and trucks as yard ornaments around here too. Most have a history with the associated farm they are located at from years gone by. ------------- That's All Folks! |

| That's what I drove White Freightliner. Back then they was playing with turbine power, that was something to see, look in the grill and see the trailer and the big AC powered truck pass you going across 80 in PA up the mountain like you was setting still. |

| First trucks I learned to drive. No power steering. Hauled grain off farm. Had to be real good at backing up blind Sind and around obstacles. If not, gets tiring real fast |

You are correct on the "turnover". I've pulled several back onto the wheels. Always a lot of damage. They are lightweight, but very unstable unless very hard, level ground.
