I ended up getting a job REAL young as H.D. Diesel mech apprentice/wrecking yard monkey, of near ALL things heavy duty, rigs,Hayes ,Pacific,Madill stuff,tugboats,bus's,tank bottoms(used as yarders here then) on and on.... When i FIRST started, knowing NNNOTHING about any of it! Boss said, if there is anything in yard you really want just tag it, no sweat! Like what kind of truck do you want??! I said i really like that white General! Of all the things in the place and other places, as i was then looking! He ended up saying nahh they are kinda $hit, we will get ya something better! Then i ended up smahing about in a 79 Kenworth (anniversary edition) Massive injectors wound right up lol. But ya not trying to be mean, in fact, actually the opposite! As pure eyes looking at trucks i did think, it was just a clean nice sharp looking unit, above the rest! So ya kind of a compliment in that, specs aside, it is a beautiful to look at truck! 💯 🍻🤠
Those bring back some good memories. When I first started driving a truck that’s what I drove. It was for Mid-Am aka Mid American dairyman.
I used to drive a general. They go like a bullet, enjoyed that truck. Good luck on the build.
This isn't the truck I'm using for the replica...just a fyi.
@@scatpack01 okay, still cool to see how it turns out. Have fun
This is a good truck new paint Change put new LID lights on it. Put new paint in horns on get that puppy all back together

That is in nice shape for it age. I would like to find one for a project truck
It is. It will be for sale later this year.
@@scatpack01 How is it mechanically?
@mh-tn3ic mechanically it seems fine.
I’ll try to be watching, been wanting a general with specs like these for a daily driver for a while
