After growing up around, in, and under them and living in one for 6 years, and dealing with the buy / sell life cycle costs of ownership of a small fleet........ well Paul Harvey says it best...........now you know the rest of the story!!!
Trust me fellas, there is nothing like pushing the hood of a long nosed Pete with big stacks, lots of power, tall gears, a long way to go and a short time to get there...... damn, almost makes me feel like getting back at ' er again but the work associated with cutting a new butt groove into the seat is just too much for a little old man like me!

The neat part is you can take any make of truck and equip it with the same power train but it will have a different feel to it.
I`ve always liked the Louisville trucks from my highway tractor years ago to my current pair of Ford L8000 gravel trucks. One of the really nice Ford heavies feature is the roomy well designed cabs.

Sterling is a Mercedes Benz something or other company.
Very few heavies are North American owned/controlled now.

Good crops for the most part but too much cool and wet weather, it was tuff to get the crop off.
The southern half of Saskatachewan is finished harvest but the northern regions aren`t quite done yet.

My dad isnt quite done either. He has most of it off, and with a few days of good weather he should be good to go!
Morris you should take a look in a sterling, they sure have alot of ford's looks. Even the sterling key was the same shape as the older ford keys in the one i drove!
