I’m really liking the big condo sleeper, but that black Freightshaker has my vote. You talk about nostalgia and smells bringing back the memories, the one thing that always gets me is the little hanging tree fresheners. The spice scent to be exact. My dad always had that one on his truck and to this day that smell brings me back.
@danielyelle107010 ай бұрын
Those old Freightliners are bulit proof trucks. Old is the way to go as far as am concerned. New trucks you just drive until the check engine light comes on. Then throw another two thousand dollars at it . If your lucky. Have a great weekend.

@masonhaycock743710 ай бұрын
I didn't catch the year of the old Ford F150, but it's gotta be a 78-79 model with those square headlights.... The interior shots at 18:35 took me straight on back to my childhood and my dad's 1977 single cab. Beautiful memories. And that interior had common elements all the way through the 1991 model year - the skinny metal turn signal, the manual window winders, hexagonal plastic door lock indicator knobs, etc. Good content, Jax - I love the connection you feel to the past. Edit - just noticed the license plate at the end of the video, lol

I'm out of Western SD, probably see you on the road sometime. Have a great one! ~Rob~

The brake saver is the way to go on a B model Cat . Down side is they require "resealing" about every year or so. The factory Jake's are pretty weak on 3406 B - unless your running the "super Jakes" ( they don't make them anymore ) used rebuilt is the only option - if you can find them . As the saying goes " IF IT AIN'T A CAT - ITS A DOG " ..
