You can beat an R model too bad that trucks aren't that reliable anymore

I recognize a lot of those roads. I have wasted a lot of time waiting at the damn bridge construction for the last two years! R Model sounding good!

[@AppalachianRust]

Thanks! Yeah, been over it several times luckily I don’t have to travel it daily.

Drove R models from 75 to 98 5 speed 237s and 300 6 speed 2 sticks and air shift, best days of my life.

Thank you! I’ve got another haul video this weekend with a 1980 AutoCar.

Climbing west from the river was always a 3rd gear hill in a 5 speed Mack or 6th with a 350 9 speed.

I see you have a Jake switch on the dash, doesn’t it work?

[@AppalachianRust]

It does. It’s a bit quiet In This truck. Also about this time a wire was coming loose so it might having been intermittent. Fixed now
