You're freakin me out!!! Us SoCal guys never see something like that! Spooky! But serious business, for sure. Is that just for show or is that bad boy still clearing roads?
And yes. I'm ready for winter. That's building season in our neck of the woods. Easer to heat the garage than to cool it!

I was looking at some pictures from "Lead East" which used to be the Big Custom show on the East Coast, now they are more interested in money.
Anyway, I saw this picture and just had to ****** it.
All I know is that it is Rare, Orange and Bee-U-T-Ful.

Ready for winter?
I live in Syracuse, I need something that big just to get out of the driveway all winter. Nice Rig, I'm sure that thing moved some snow in it's time.
When I was boot camp, guys from California were volunteering to take my turn to shovel snow.
Any takers????

How ironic, that box on the back is undoubtedly full of Killer Salt, so it was trucks like this that were responsible for eating up so many other Bonus Built trucks... maybe this one survived because it was AHEAD of the salt!
Still a great looking machine! I have to wonder how slow these must have been with even the big Lincoln flatty and its 150 HP. Nowadays they'd have a 250 or 300 HP turbo diesel at a minimum.

I guess that answers the question about "how slow are these things"...
I grew up in Illinois, never had that big of a blower around there. They usually just have a plow and a ton of salt. They get paid by the number of pounds they put down, it seems...

There is a part of the snow chute not on the truck, it sticks up above the cab and has some capability to be directed. The bars sticking up from the front are guides for cutting snow.
The the front end portion is refered to as a screw and the rear engine is refered to as the driver, I figured that I would confuse myself if I refered to that portion as the ScrewDriver.
