That is one of those rigs you just get into 100% operating condition, leave everything else original, and drive it to every old truck get-to-gather you can find !!!
Or haul a big-ass load of firewood.

God that brings back memories. My employer had about 5-6 of those in the tractor version with Detroit 3118 power. They were a bitch to keep running and I could not sit upright in the cab because the roof was too low. Was happy to see them go away after a few years.
Well I sure mixed up the first response. The engine was a Detroit 8.3L. The 3118 is a Caterpillar engine. Getting older is not for everyone, ?

Well one of my kids is nearing driving age. Zero speeding tickets, they will be safe, probably couldn’t text and drive in it, could not afford to drive far.

Guess I need it

Or hauling, say a 5th gen Ranger with a 10R80 issue... or vibrating drive shaft... heck, even a Ranger with a weak tailgate damper.... Like a grandpa helping his great, great, great, great grandson...
