I now have the Astro ready to haul my tractors. Or first pull will be this Saturday. I hope to see some other 2500 pound pullers, although I'm betting none will show as they would rather pull somewhere else than be beaten. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

No: This one has a real diesel, a Formula 290. This truck is nearly identical to a 79 that I had back when I was an OO. Back then I has also previously had. 69 that had the piss poor 238DD. After that truck, I swore I’d never own another Dogtroit. As for cabovers, I have always liked the Astro cab. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Nice looking Tractor hauling rig. You got loaded I See. Im going pulling in 2500 even if I'm the only one. If they lift the speed limit I wonder if my stock engine will make a decent pull in 3rd gear in the 2500 open class. |

My wife call those kind of pickups either “daddy’s pertty woddle truck” or P.E.V.s Giong to the pull last Saturday was a breeze. I don’t think it hardly used any more fuel than the pickup would have. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| Ken was talking about his tractor getting caught in the rain, with a truck like that you could put a single axle 28 ft van behind and the tractors would stay clean and dry |
