Great looking rig DD. A truck to be proud of. I wish you many safe miles with her.

Are you in Portland now or were you last night, I think I saw your Truck parked in a lot?

Nice outfit Devil Dice!! Best of luck to you!

Not sure if I'm missing it, but doesn't look like you have a headache rack.
Might be my eyes need checked!

Great posts, I have followed your new career and I enjoy reading of your adventures.

What are the specs on the truck if you get the time.

Take care

I think those Western Stars are about the best looking trucks on the road.
What kind of headache rack are you going to get? I like the ones that TMC uses, everything out of sight and a clean look to the back of the tractor.
Do you have an APU or anything to keep from idling in the middle of winter and summer?
Some big fouled anchors painted behind the stacks would look nice too.
Hope to see you on the road Chief.

nice PURPLE truck there....wait i feel a navy joke coming on...lol

sorry it is a nice looking truck, those big fuel tanks will come in handy when tryin to make the most of your fsc

all them boxes on yer trailer will be extremly handy also, i need to add at least one to mine, but i think you'll like that transcraft alot, very sturdy trailer....you might want to get the dump valve wired to yer dash so you can dump the rear axle when making tight turns or backing up....if nothing else it saves alot of wear on tires and takes away the risk of twisting an axle

all in all chief i say well done....

Thanks!! Glad you are enjoying the thread. No you eyes are just fine, I do not have a headache rack on it yet. I do like those ones like TMC has but dang they are expensive. I will buy a used one from Davis for now.

Thanks. I too like the headache racks that have the doors like TMC runs but there are spendy. I do not have a APU or bunk heater :sad: right now. I am looking into them and will decide which route to go later on down the road. I think you might be right with the fouled anchors :wink: I wonder what it would cost to have someone paint some on?? I'll look into it.

It's MAROON, not purple knuckles :lol: Yeah those are dual 142gal tanks and gives me a nice set of legs to run on. So far, running empty AND idling all night (hate to idle :evil: ) I've been averaging 6.68mpg. Hopefully that wont drop too bad once she is outfitted and I am under a load. The trailer already has the dump valve on it and I plan on having "B" install a switch for it while I am here in Missoula.

:rock: Congratulations on the truck! It looks nice! I hope you are prosperous with it this and all the years you have it!

Wow! Mr. O/O it seems like it was just yesterday when you were still in the service and thinking about the time you got out to get into trucking. Time is just flying! Same with Rotts I can't believe how fast it has gone by.
