Glenn, are you gonna put the big wind deflector on top the Mule, over on the Mare? The Mare would look SWEET with that on it!

I took it off the mule and have been debating whether or not to put it on the mare. It probably would look pretty good on the mare if I could get it shined up. I saw one once that looked like a mirrow but when I attempted to shine mine up it didn't look that good. Better, but not great.

I'm with you Bill! I don't know why exactly but I have always had a soft spot for the Pete 379s. That's just what I think a big rig should look like I guess.

Optimus Prime baby! Oh yeah! Now that's just badass! There was a guy that delivered some stuff to us at work that had a cherry '89 379. I mean this thing was gorgeous. Kind of blew me away when he said he had over 4 million miles on it! I was like... then I was like... Then I was totally like... , LOL. It was a beaut! He makes his living hauling high value trade show displays. Had air ride on the trailer and everything so he could squat it down for loading and unloading. Pretty sweet setup.

Nate, I told my wife if the coal industry ever blows completely out and I lose my job, I'm gonna go drive truck! I've always wanted to since I was a kid. I guess that's where my love for our trucks stems from.

Ya i have a good job where im at and dont like starting over. I have been here for almost 7 years. I may venture out once my wife gets a steady teaching job. I still have the welding truck, i could work for my self full time. There is just too many options it seems like.
