In the 90's I was westbound on I-70 in the middle of the night and on the CB was Cash, the man taking requests. As I was exiting Columbus on the west side, his coach was traveling east. Most memorable night in my career, a true star. Rest in peace.

[@youknoweverything7643]

In 1999 when I was 7 years old I. The front seat of my grandpa's 1985 Peterbilt same make and model of this truck just different paint scheme and johnny cash was on the cb from his motor coach taking requests and talking to all the truckers it was amazing and I told Johnny that I'm riding with my grandpa in his Peterbilt all summer long during summer vacation and that I'm a huge fan of yours and would love to meet you and my grandfather told him if you don't mind we will be stopping at this exit and truck stop and after about 5 mins of us being there Johnny cash motorhome rolled in right next to us cause my grandpa told him what truck we are in and I got pictures with Johnny cash and he signed my acoustic guitar for me as well. That was one of the most memorable moments I had riding with my grandpa every summer in his truck till he retired in 07. I saw the whole United States and all the famous landmarks and attractions and national parks been through Canada to Alaska 4 times and went through Mexico 3 times . I loved in Canada for 10 years so mom and dad would fly me to Wisconsin few days after school let out so I could go cross country in my grandfather's Peterbilt. He only did the cross country driving when it was the summer and when I was with him other then that he just did short same day routes and deliveries that wasn't over night and he would be home every night. He would always get a load no matter where we was and then we drive. He made tons of money during the summers with all the long haul loads and he got to spend time with his grandson for two months every year on the road going cross country.

Johnny Cash was actually my grandmother's neighbor growing up in Dyess, Arkansas. Neighbors being a loose term at the time since they lived a good distance apart, but they did live in the next house down the road. Johnny, my great uncle, and one of their friends all got on the bus together to join the military when they were 18. I remember seeing the picture of them standing with their bags together on an old gravel road.

Except they went through water pumps all the time. We had 42 MPT Corp all with the extended hood We drove out of Missoula ,Mt.. one time I took a load to Fla and going down 75 nobody on the east coast had not seen such a nice truck. They were purple with black trailers. We usually just ran the 11 western states. I remember the day I went to work there comming from VA I was use to carolers. SO soon as I left the yard I fired a big joint up and hauled ass to LA. Those were the good days!!!!!

Sharp semi. Love the Peterbilts. My dad's semi was exactly like that one same year. Dad's was jet black with the same exact air spoiler on top with the name of Emery's seafood on it with a light lighting it up. Trailer was polished chrome. More lights then O'Hara airport. Everywhere we went he got complements. One time in southern Texas dad was stoped eating at a cafe when some me came in complementing the semi as always. They say down talking to dad shooting the crap. Well dad gets up and tells them bye. He gets in semi looks ahead where them men got out of a bus and on the back it said Molly hatchet.

I loved in Canada and mom and dad would fly me or drive me to Wisconsin few days after school let out and i would soebd my summers traveling and seeing our beautiful country from the front seat of his Peterbilt. My grandpa starting driving in 1968. I miss those days but the thousands of pictures i took on those summer long road trips acctoss couhtry and the memories we made will always live and be with me.

Well I'd assume for them to install the custom interior or whatnot cash had to have been dispersed. I don't quite know how something like that works though. The truck was ordered but wasn't taken delivery of so that would mean he paid for it but never drove it off the lot? I'm confused now😂

[@johnhughes1783]

@@haydona1845 I'm no expert but...I would surmise Johhny lost some "Cash" on the order. Possibly the dealership wanted money for being a custom order, possibly not because of his celebrity status. I'm almost sure he had to sign paperwork though. He complained enough to get out of it though. The wind deflecor couldn't have been too difficult to add on so maybe he had buyers remorse and used that as an excuse. I doubt he would have had much use for it. Alot of times ordering is the most exciting part.

1st Petercar I drove was a 1971 359 with a 1693 “Industrial “ Cat that was only supposed to be a 325 but was more like 500 with a 15 over. Every gear gave about a ton of coal out of each stack and triple digits in the big hole . But with no power steering you earned your pay backing into the hoppers at the Pa. steel mills in the late 70’s

Very difficult to understand, what did he say about the wind deflector being the reason that JC rejected it? Couldn't quite understand him.

[@that_blue_lbz_duramax3364]

He needed the wind deflector to put his band name on it. This truck didn’t come with one so he took one that did
