@1968spawn No I mainly run north east and south west i just hope that the government dont take our old rigs off the road like they are trying too

AHH, the days of the big white wheel. When men were men and you needed Peyton Hillis' biceps to back a truck. 30 tears later and Driving Schools still teach you to back up without stopping. None of them know why but the CDL Manual tells them to, so they do.

Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it.

@3338MAN I drive a 1980 Frieghtliner COE. It's stretched to 213" WB. 400 Cummins and 15 O/D on LoPRo 24.5's and 3.90 rears. I driver her every day pulling B-Trains in Canada. 139,000lbs gross. She does a fine job! :) I'm sure 68 finds his rig more than practical enough for day-to-day duties as well. PLUS, you get a TON of looks. :D

LOTS of midwestern farmers still use em to pull grain trailers to market. They probably bought them for pennies back when they were "going out of style". A new truck isn't required to make 10 trips a year.

@redneck7006 I have been seeing a GREAT looking K100 across I 80 in western Iowa pulling a reefer. I compliment him on the CB often. Might this be you ??

Question for you 68, is a truck like this practical to get up and go to work today?I don't mean 48 states, of course, but just local/regional runs. I can tell this old Ken wasn't afraid of work. Cool that you own it.

Sure, I see guys still running cab overs around my area very often.. You'd have to have a little mechanical know how... That might help in some way these trucks are'nt very new..
