You could hear the tire noise from miles away I swear. I remember several times his old freightliner wouldn't start and he would use Max to drag it away from hog chutes or out of snow drifts. They called the truck Max. Him and my other uncle used to take me out wheeling in that thing and it was a blast. It had a mid 60s Ford big truck hood scoop on it and the truck was hugger orange. I asked my cousin where it ever went and it seems no one knows.
Heck yea! This was my old man’s 71 K10 in the early 90’s. 38” Hawgs and all, same thing could hear the tires for miles. I miss it a lot. And the shake the old bias plies would get for a few miles when they sat for bit.
I don’t know if I’ve got any head on shots of it showing off the bad ass Flirtin With Disaster bug shield he had on it. Molly hatchet always reminds me of that truck haha.

That truck did pretty good in the mud, and went thru 3+ feet of snow after atleast 2 different blizzards.
