hope I'm not too forward, but are you in PDX too? I drive rental cars at the airport and we've been having some fun in the snow. But my toes get cold.
Nope I live near Salem. I drive an '89 F350 crew cab. Picked up the '96 Dodge with a Cummins for cheap and I don't have to worry about people denting it because it's already a junker.

Note to self: Never buy a former rental car.
Have all the fun you want, just please don't smack into my faithful old pickup. It has certainly earned its keep during this recent bout of winter. I park in the south cargo area, just past all those rental cars stored at the end of the runway. One of my coworkers was giving me a hard time that I must be poor, having to drive "that old truck". Yesterday that same truck pulled his snowbound beemer to freedom from behind a plow berm.
Personally, I'm done with all this snow and ice. I much prefer it when winter stays up on the mountain where it belongs, and I can go visit it. In the meantime, I'm rooting for global warming.

My post about having fun was mostly sarcasm, cause it has really sucked working in the snow. We get fired after damaging 3 cars, so it can be pretty stressful when you drive like 80 cars a day.. and is your truck the brownish 8th gen f150? If so, I stare at it whenever we drive by haha.
And on Tuesday I also pulled some dude in a BMW out of a snow drift
Held up well to this load of wet oak and a few other assoeted rounds. Sookie the pit mix rides shotgun
Tailgate to splitter to stack.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, the steep river valleys transitioning to steep hills, old brick roads and general screwyness of the road system made winter driving an adventure. I love to kid my VA buddies about snow driving, but did a 180 in this truck in it's only snow trip. Ice is ice, no matter where you grew up.
Mine is a red and white '84 4x4 Supercab. Scroll up to post #27 in this thread to see a pic from last fall, hauling our camper.
If any parts go missing now from my truck, I know who to talk to.
i cant say that ive seen your truck around the airport.. supercabs and crew cabs tend to cause me to rubberneck haha. i'll have to keep an eye out. And i'd never take parts off of a running and driving truck, i feel bad enough taking parts off of trucks at junkyards. just wish i could save them.
Thought you guys might enjoy this. Not mine obviously, it belongs to a fueling contractor at the airport. This is a fuel pumper truck. It connects from an underground hydrant to the central refuel system under the wing's leading edge. Note the hydraulic lift platform on the back of the truck.
The truck's driver has worked there for years. With his seniority, he could pick from any of at least a dozen trucks in their fleet, all much newer. Yet he always drives this one.

That's funny. I was just at the Honolulu airport and they had a shortened bull nose. Definitely makes me want to swap on the front clip of an 89 F250 I just picked up.
