I found this 1978 Chevrolet Titan SS (Special Series), tandem road tractor in my driveway Friday morning. It has a 8V92 Detroit engine, with Allison automatic transmission. Only 113k actual miles. Owned originally by a John Deere Dealership.

Spanky, I saw your post on FB somewhere. Not sure still just learning my way around there...finally.
What a beautiful truck. Man, JM knows I have always been Astro/titan fan and that truck is gorgeous. I'm all jealous!

Does Spanky Jr have the same passion for the old iron? He should be old enough to drive them by now!
