On Highway 54 North of Cheney.
 
whats the extra bumpout on the back of the cab? never noticed that on one before. extra headroom?
It was a sleeper truck, they took the sleeper off and they add that so you can actually lean the seat back a little bit and have extra storage. With a regular daycab there is no room at all inside at all.

Another fuel hauler I know. He just had this 379 fully redone. Its a looker.

So I guess that fender goes up and down with the tire? Would that truck be all stock? Is using that axle completly up to the driver or it’s mandated by weight? Does using it make it ride nicer? Can the driver hear it when it’s in use?

When you’re loaded, obviously it’s slower, but does it ride nicer. If your empty, do you skip gears when excellerating?

Sorry for all the questions. One more I probably already asked you. How big is your area or route?

Here is a chunk of old iron. My truck went in for a head gasket seeping oil. It turns out the Kentucky rebuild it had before we got it still had the original camshaft which is flaking, front structure gaskets and crank seal. Now getting it done right.
Purple frame rails? Guess you make a lot of stops at rest stops next to the bushes.:flipoff2:
