1973, got what was then called a chauffeurs license was handed the keys to an 18 wheeler and hauled dynamite into the mines in northern Quebec on a part time basis while in the air force. I drove crash rescue and fire trucks for a living on a daily basis. Lots of different part time driving jobs over the next 12 years then I left the AF in 1985, that was when the armstrong steering cab over with rubber blocks instead of springs became part of my life for a short time. After that I learned to check out the equipment before I said yes to a job. Driving has been a big part of my life since.

[quote="sanchez498"]Your welcome yoopr. Forgot to ad my first truck was a 1973 International cabover with a 318 detroit and a 13 speed.
OMG.... I remember those motors, those were the only thing that would start when it was 30 below zero. I hated the dam things but they would start in the cold weather. (blast from the past)

believe it or not but that 220 could fly if needed
I have NO CLUE why engine makers take away the great features they used to have-Remember the engine compression release Lever for Cold starting--that was the Cat's Meow but they got rid of that too
