Oxbow I've tried several times but I cant get that link to come up to see all of it. Anyone else have that problem?

Truck Shop, I just tried it and it came up ok for me. It will bring you to a page from Overdrive magazine; then scroll down to the video and hit play, and there are some old fashioned colored stripes on the screen like the TV stations used to show when they were off the air, then after a bit of black screen the video finally starts.

Hope it helps.

I didn't wait long enough, after waiting my hair is two inches longer lol.

That's a good show-thanks for posting it. The only illegal thing I did driving years ago was run the scale in the dark north bound K-Falls. And I guess there
are a few other things---well maybe they were mid-sized things or I guess they could have been big things:yup

I have never done anything even remotely close to illegal while in the operation of a class 8 truck, and I'm sticking to it.

Pew!:laugh. In those days in order to keep up with dispatch and their games you just about had to break the rules by the minute.lol

Actually the rules were:

1) Deliver load on time
2) Turn in legal logs

Simple!

Then they had to start doing things like putting dates on fuel tickets, recording when you crossed a scale, yada yada. Changed the game completely.

Here's another good one.---It causes me to remember back to my day's running south from Ellensburg to bay area or L.A. My first break would normally
be Worden Or. then grab some fuel at Dudley & Petty's in Corning Ca. The pic below is one I drove, pic was taken at Williams
rest area IIRC.

That was back when Pete was making a real good cab. I liked that Corvette dash. Those were good trucks Oxbow.

Yeah, I just have a soft spot for those critters I guess. When the cabs were tight and had the higher class interiors they weren't bad to drive. My old 9500 had all the goodies... except A/C. Or big power... A year later they became the Brigadier.
