Non Happy Ice Road Trucker

King of Obsolete ยท 2008-01-08 23:30

my buddy barry sent his driver out in the white mack to deliver the 650G. the driver should have been back at midnight at the latest but the next day he still was not back. we heard that it rained pretty good and hoped that the driver was off the winter road before the rain. (when it rains in the winter, it is a skating rink real quick.) as it turned out he was almost off the winter when the rain started. he had 3 mishaps and the first was breaking the front spring causing the axle to move back the length of the spring shackle. then bend the front bumper and then a tree hit the headlite. when i seen the truck, i thought it was one mishap not three. oh well fix it up and send him back out and hope it dosen't rain. i was able to cut a patch piece from the red mack which had the end dump trailer fall on the cab a couple of years ago. it is handy to have a parts truck when you live this far north.

    Nice body work KoO. :drinkup Whatcha been up to these days? Haven't seen any pictures from the Great White North in a while. You been busy with deliveries? I found ya a little track loader. It's in my Photo thread. I bet I could get it for ya real cheap .......you'd probably just have to do a little winterizing as it probably hasn't ever seen snow.
