I had a white one just like it for 5 years. That cat never let me down. I got 6 speeding tickets with it though.By far the truck I had that was my favorite appearance wise was my "Purple Pete" it was a pretty decent truck. Unfortunately it only had a 10 speed transmission (I am really spoiled to an 18 speed) and it wasn't the most comfortable cab as far as room but over all it was a decent truck.
She was a pretty truck. The best part of it was that it was mine, my tractor, their trailer. Of coarse the drop visor, Texas bumper, chicken lights and chrome everywhere didn't hurt my feelings.

I would like to drive a truck as nice as that just once, just to see what it feels like to roll down the road in a truck that nice!

This truck may not be as pretty, but it has a CAT engine, and a Super 10. Once I figured out how to shift it the thing did alright rolling down the road. Lots of get up and go.
But I am spoiled by the opulent trappings of Monstro, and could not imagine spending day after day after day after day in something so small inside. And PACCAR dropped the ball when it comes to keeping the windows clear from fog. The whole time I was in that Pete I had to keep stopping and wipe the windows off.
And my feet froze too.
I didn't have any trouble with the defroster on mine, ...
Wow, sorry, that got a little long winded.

That's all I read anyway.

That's some good photoshoping on that bottom pic. I'm jealous. That's a tall lady also.
I didn't have any trouble with the defroster on mine, as a matter of fact of all of the Pete's and KWs (the paccar lineup) I've driven I never really had a problem with the defroster on any of them.
Now the transmission, I have heard so many different transmissions referred to as a super 10 so I'm not 100 percent sure which one you are referring to. The one that was explained to me as a super ten was one that only had a side splitter with no hi/lo range selector on the shift tower. Reverse was closest to the driver and up with lo down from there, over one slot and up 1st and 2nd were in the same hole and you split from first to second the same way you would split a gear on an 18 speed rest of the gearbox followed the same way. 3/4 then 5/6 and 7/8 completing the ten.
Oh yeah, that's the super ten I was thinking of. I only had one truck with that one in it but it was for hauling pipe to drill rig locations out here in the mountains and it didn't work very well for that purpose.
That's freaking funny. If while making the truck noises he starts making a grinding sound will it tank the transmission?
I don't think anyone would argue that the Volvos are nice inside. Now someone just needs to explain "style points" to the Swedes on exterior design.
