That is very cool, and I'm sure will continue to mean a great deal to you as time passes. When I left Peterbilt in 1978, the girls that worked for me gave me this 1960 Valiant model and I still treasure it today. They didn't sign it, but knew it was something special that would remind me of them.

HAHAHA!!! Awesome!! Are you still in or did you get out? I'm a Nuke MMC surface guy (don't hold it against me). However, I was on the USS ENTERPRISE which breaks ALL OF THE TIME so I have done plenty of wrenchin'.

What is your last name? One of the guys in my office recently left the Wyoming (EM1 Parrish). I showed him this and he recognized some of the names on the truck.

66redw/white · 06-22-2011, 09:07 AM
