How do you think all that plastic chrome would hold up?? That's the only thing I can't understand about those trucks is why they didn't put real chrome on them?

I think they look great. I especially like what they have done with the interior. The styling is reminiscent of the 1930's and 1940's styling. There isn't another truck on the market that resembles it. I would recommend International trucks to anyone. I have had better service out of my International than any truck that I have owned. If I had to make a choice between my Kenworth and International I would probably choose my International. I prefer the way it is laid out compared to the KW.

GMAN, I was telling a friend of mine, that the Lonestar looks like a Diamond T.

I like that old style design, Jackrabbit. My wife thinks they are pretty. I think they look good, but pretty isn't a word that I would use for a truck. These new trucks are much wider than the old models.

Yeah, I think it looks pretty good.
My wife uses that term too. I'm sure I've used it. :lol:


There is a small feed store here in town. By looking, you wouldn't think he was open. Lee, the owner, makes feed, and I think that's what keeps him running. Anyway, there's an old Mack out back, where you pick up feed. I think it's a B Model. The Mack doesn't look small from the road, but when you stand beside it, it looks tiny.

Some of those old trucks have a very narrow cabin. The seats were very close together. You could extend your arm and touch the door without bending. I am glad they are wider now.
