    Stuff Like This Makes Me Angry

    Just ruining something for fun is not my idea of entertainment. I made a living running these old gals back in the day. They were reliable, and mostly reasonable to drive. Bit bouncy, but generally allright. Actually.......they would ruin your kidneys

    Anyways.......I really think this is crap. Just my 2 cents.

    In the 80's I had one of those Transtars in my little grain hauler fleet, 400 Cummins with a 13 speed, Dual chrome everything with 6" pipes and a custom stainless sunvisor. Pretty truck, but it was still a 13 letter sh!tspreader.

    I saw that a while back and thought the same thing....

    I put plenty of miles on a cornbinder pretty much the same as in the video.

    Not the most comfortable truck but it sure made getting into Jamaica Queens and Newark a lot easier.

    It was a little tough for the lot lizards to climb in... but we made it work..

    Those trucks look pretty sweet all dolled up with a slightly stretched out wheel base. 10-4 ?

    That's the same bird that had a video of someone stealing some stuff from his place. I didn't think much of his attitude then but I passed it off as he was a victim. Nope, an azz...........Mike

    Yea... I used to cry a little when someone showed up at the demo derby with a nice 50's 2 door, but it's their vehicle. Very few end up as restored museum pieces.

    Just a YouTube thing. Destruction equals views. Cammarata is another one who gets lots of views by doing stupid crap . Pretty much " silver spooner's" doing what silver spooner's do.

    Samm, I have to agree with ya, anyone that would take a nice late 50's Chevy/GMC 4x4 pickup and put them FUGLY wheels and tires on it should be tarred & feathered! Actually I do hate those kinds of tires & wheels on ANYTHING, but what they did to the international just ain't right.

    ....yep...crap.

    I drove a few flat nose trucks in the military. Rough and hot, but got the job done.

    I'd buy one with a dump bed if I found one cheap.

    Stolen pic, but this is really close to the one I had, after running it 2 years I sold it to the guy that drove it. He loved that truck.

    I don't know about south of the border, but up here old trucks are the new hot commodity. I bid on a 48 IHC 2 ton over a year ago. I thought $3k would bring it home. Went another direction for $7,500... not running.

    There around. MN Dave knows where I work and it was kind of an inside joke about the amount of hoarded crap sitting around including several Peterbilt and a few White-Freighliner cabinets.

    That kid is an idiot. I watched him trash an old fire co. pickup that I would have loved to own. His **** will catch him in the end.

    Seth was at Paul Smith's College a brief time.
    Zack was their four years.
    Both met & have enduring friendship with a local. He now owns a long nose IH road tractor, but works for a fellow who buys & refurbishes these IH cabovers. Jeff hauls in these things thousands of miles. Each gets driven back to upstate NY when it is bought, then they disappear into the shop for months. When they roll out, they are road ready. There must be ten active on the highway at a time.

    They weren't a bad looking truck if they were done right. In the same time frame I found one with an 8V-92 Detroit and a 750 Allison auto, I threatened to buy it and make the ex wife drive it. She said "NO". She could drive a 13 speed.

    No different to getting a fist full of cash and lighting it on fire, just a little bit more involved.

    I personally don't have money to burn like that. My disposable income goes on other things, perhaps things I find more enjoyable?

    Although about 10 years ago there was an old Fiat car we had on the farm as a runabout that I purposefully wrecked for fun. We all hated that car, no tears were shed, it was worthless anyway.
