Funny, i believe that's the same tractor that was on a pipeline job i was on in 2005. I loved the aluminum work behind the cab.

The bird is a swan. That was an old school favorite next to the Bulldog. Whistle

Claus and Ken you see those trailers around here with VHD’s under them, especially on the real heavy loads in which those tractors that begin with P and K can’t handle. Ken I’m hoping you have used all of your Volvo hate captions up, but for some reason I believe you have many more. 😩😩😩😩😩

Claus: I have a trombone trailer made for me by a guy about 15 years ago. I never used it. But I sure wouldn't put a Volvo with it. Those are for sissies who can't fish. Still healing in God's Land. CAW

Not really surprising coming from a company that can't even spell "load" correctly...

It seems that four syllables "extendable" is just too much for them to pronounce. They probably have a "tuba" and a "trumpet" as well.

Hell, they can't even come up with an original name for the company! The real Load King should be able to take legal action on that.

Q knowing you, you had your model up to your mouth trying to play a tune on it and when nothing came out you figured you got some bad ones that did not work correctly and that is why you never used them putz. If I recall there was a very very old bald guy from Gods land who had one of Chucks ramp trailers and did not even know the forward axle lifted. Wait, wasn’t that you also. You better just stick to cab overs because you have a tough time with trailers and deal with pain Alice.

I built a fully functional stretch drop deck about 12 years ago. Not the most detailed build, but it works. These are some old photos I found (sorry for the watermark).
