Thank you for that! I'll bet that sonofagun is solid cast iron,....judging by the looks,....

Yeah,.....back when they made toys to actually be played with for several generations.........

I had 5 brothers,.....and I could remember getting belted in the forehead with one of those heavy-duty trailers,........kingpin side down.
Left a distinct dent in my forehead. I can firmly attest to the strength and durability of those old toys........

Anybody from a multiple sibling family usually has battle scars from sibling fights. My little sis still has a scar on her forehead from little brother's dead on throwing accuracy with rocks.
 
I remember the time I got my cousin in the eye with that suction cup dart gun, I might even be the reason that you can't get them anymore.

LTL, Wait a few years and see if you mellow, I felt the same way back in 1990, when I retired.
Now those old PIE Wagons don't look too bad and still bring back lot of good memories.

I'll get some UPS and Yellow doubles. Love/loved those companies. ABF...ehhh. I'm not so sure. I still get pissed about all that wasted potential.

I started with Roadway in 1981. As far as I'n concerned, that's who I retired from in 2009.

Don't see how you claim to be retired, I saw you in your Walmart greeter vest, your ragged old White took 4 parking places.
I bet Roadway wouldn't let you park like that.
