They really thought up some great stuff on the old trucks. It's sad to see the US automakers drop out of the heavy truck market. Growing up there were so many different trucks on the road.
Also,all the companies that ran their own fleets rather than contracting to common carriers. I miss all the fleet paint jobs. Now so many run white with some trace of the fleet colors in a stripe or other graphic.
