This is around 1 1/2 tons of old, creosote-treated cedar timber in lengths up to 14 feet on its way to my sister's little acreage.

Betcha your front tires don't wear out very fast. Don't need power steering either.

On the next one - soon - I'll cut shorter lengths to try to get more onto the steering axle. She didn't actually feel unbalanced at all, though the back springs were compressed about 3", and she handled like a darn. I even cranked around this one curve a little quick to see what she'd do, but what she did is just truck! Gonna hafta mount strong anchors for tiedowns, though. Nothing came loose, of course, but I'm not satisfied with pulling on the running board like that. Anybody got suggestions?

That's great. Two months ago she was in retirement and you were figuring out how to get her home, as she was too sick to make it under her own power. Now she's back doing what she was built for! Definitely not a trailer queen...

Joker, huh? The name fits, buster. I can see that now. What are those whoa trucks? Mercedes? They don't look to be moving very fast. To answer your questions, the truck is parked there trying to get Peg's attention, and the driver is pushing buttons on his camera, trying to hold off the unloading process.

Yes, Neil, she's definitely feeling better. There were a few times when It seemed as if she'd be going on a hook, but every time I managed to figure out what was getting her down. Is your GMC home yet? When will we see pix?

Sadly Mark, my '51 9300 was supposed to be a back haul on a couple of deliveries to the coast that either fell through or have been delayed. My guy is just going go and get it late this week, as long as the snow holds off in the mountains. I'll definitely post pictures when I get her here.
