Anyone here drive the Big Rigs? What rig are you driving? Peterbilts? KW's? Freightliner? Ol Mack? Autocar? Or maybe you have an old tractor rig you are restoring?

Any Dodge Bighorn tractors out there??

Post up some pics of your Big Rig Tractor, or tri axle dump, ect ect.:poke:
 
I have my Studebaker M35. It is powered by a Reo OA331 Rated at 127hp @ 3400, Spicer 3052 5 speed trans, Rockwell T 136-21 2 speed transfer case, rockwell 240 6.72:1 axles. The winch is from a barge, the bed is home made, and the tires are BFG mud and snow 9.00-20. Its full of bondo and bad wiring, but it runs like a top.

i drive a 97 peterbilt 425 Cummins, 98 KW 550 hp CAT. and on occasion a 96 KW CAT 550 hp, 18 and 5 sp. nice trucks and i like the power! lol
 
Depending on the day I drive either an 02 Freightliner, 05 International, 06 or 07 Sterling. The Frieghtliners and Internationals both have an ISM Cummins and the Sterlings have Mercedes engines. All have Smart Shift or Auto Shift and have been been de-tuned to about 350 hp:( Licensed for 105k and 129K GCWR doesn't make a lot of sense to me to de-tune them. But what do I know I am all about MORE POWER!:rockwoot:

79 359 Pete I use on the farm in need of some paint. 400 Cummins 13 double over 44.000 rockwells 4.56 gears 63inch bunk. sorry no pics. OH the 21 gauges in the dash so I know thats going on

I make parts for drilling rigs, does that count? Some of them are pretty big :)

I drive a 99 Freightliner FLD 120 SFA Daycab, it don't go that fast but it can Shake the Ground, LOL. Got a 370 N-14 Cummins with a 10spd. The truck is awesome on flat ground but beware the hill! I use it to pull a flatbed and a chipvan. I would post a pic but my wife deletes them, lol
 
I have 2 2000 Pete 379 Exhs, and 1 1986 Ford LTL 9000. The Petes have Cat 3406Es and the Ford has a 400 Cummins Big Cam. They all have been turned up....:st: .... I'll post pics soon.
 
On our farm we've got 4 KW T800's with 60 Series Detroits. 3 of them are 9 spds and one is a super 10. We've also got a 1979 GMC Brigadier and a 1973 GMC 9500 with a detroit(noisy Lil turd). I'm lookin into buying one for me to use on the farm and have someone drive it for me while I'm farming.
 
I'm trying to dig up a picture... my cousin just picked up a 379 Day Cab with the C-16, 7" pipes, and a Pittsburg Power. She means business.

We also have an old 359 Farm Truck that I've been tinkering with. 400 Cummins/ 13sp with flipped countershafts (double over) and a number 5 button. Jake bites real hard on that old Cummins:rockwoot:


Then we got the baby Pete single axle (C-12 barf) and 3 stock 379 550 Cat/18 speed dump trucks.

We had one of those damm 400 Cummins. Cummins is my favorite truck motor and I REALLY didn't like that dang 'low-cool' 400.
