Attended the Fall ATHS Baltimore-Washington Chapter show at the Bowles farm (Leonardtown, MD) this past weekend. The usual suspects were there. But ...
Newly attending was this particularly awesome 1971 K10 with a Detroit 3-53 mated to an SM-465. VERY good looking upgrade!
AND -- going into full retirement from truck driving this week, I got one last opportunity to drive a Detroit powered truck with a Road Ranger. I've been driving 13-speeds (double over drive) exclusively lately so jumping in the non-overdrive truck messed with me on the first upshift ... "WRONG TRUCK!!!!"

My introduction to OTR driving was in a worn out 64 Freightliner in 1975 with a Detroit 8V71 and a Fuller RTO 910. I don't miss that one at all! Jerry
