Stinkers new International!!!

Damn.

When I first started going for ride alongs with my dad the passenger seat was a piece of foam covered by some hard as hell fake leather shit. It was loud, hot and rode like shit. You literally bounced all over the cab.

The dash was a piece of sheet metal that held the gauges and switchs.

Drive train? A 140 or 180 HP engine was the norm, and the 220 cummins was the big boy on the block. No turbos or S/C's at that time. Two transmissions were the norm, and I remember riding in one that had three. If memory serves me right it was a 4X3X2.

How things have changed.:eek:

Nice! 9x99v CB thats a Galaxy? What upgrades have you done on your Cat? Do you have diff sensors pluged in on your fuel temp and air temp? ( makes a diff,Its the only way our 550 cat has a chance keeping up with my 565HP ISX Cummins in my Peterbilt Legacy) I am running a Galaxy 66 CB with a Palomar 250 watt linear, works pretty good!:rock:

It was a great time in my life, and I have many wonderful memories. I'm sure it was the same for you.
