Default Dan (chevyandpontiac) purchased a New Truck

DID I SAY A TRUCK?....A Military Truck that served in Kuwait [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

A 1990 Harsco. 6x6. 8.3 turbo diesel Cummings. 5 speed Allison transmission
Rockwell Military axles with 6.44 gears. Power steering and ABS Brakes. Truck
was a troop carrier in Kuwait 80 gallon fuel tank. She gets 8 mpg.

Dan and I are definitely taking this Truck to Czechoslovakia.....I mean Wisconsin [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Perhaps I may be doing a Frame Off on this Beauty [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Congrats Dan [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]







The Electric Co. meter reader was outside today as I was taking these pictures.....he said he served in Kuwait and he drove on a similar truck....I shook his hand and thanked him for his service. I took his picture to give you an example of the massive size of this truck....the service man was approx. 5' 10&quot;

Dan,

Next Halloween you have to dress up like Stallone as John Rambo in &quot;First Blood&quot;
I can be the ruthless town Sherriff.....we can wake up Joliet [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
