This is incredible! The build is amazing from every angle. Even the owners clothes. I just discovered a new passion for vintage over the road iron, and would love to sit and talk with some old timers.
This is a nice truck. I';ve never heard of a 13-speed transmission with 3-speed brown light transfer case and 2-speed rear axle with high gears with a total of 78 gears.
I shot this video in 1997. Don was the Master Mechanic for a big construction company in the mid-west. He bought this old copper mine after he retired. There were no bounds to what he could make work!
i spoke with him a few times at the gold king mine, And seen that outstanding truck upclose.
I last saw Don in 2015. This video segment was shot in 1997.
Ols school cool...and the semi tractor too
Lindsey do you still sell the copies of the ATHS Members Volumes 1,2,3,4?
I'm sorry I don't. My duplicator closed their business after 35 years due to so few people buying DVDs anymore.

Back in the 90's I did many videos with members of the American Truck Historical Society. One of the best periods of my existence!!

Oh he had to feel good bringing this thru Jerome. !!!
They passed a noise ordinance in Jerome to keep Don from running an open exhaust. I shot this in 1997. I imagine the ordinance is still in effect.
