The bastards.
That's terrible binder.
I'm so sorry for you.
Such a slick paint job spoilt.
Perhaps it can be buffed out?
or will you now have to re-do the whole truck?

Hows the rest of the fleet?
Have any of them been damaged?
Do you have any ideas as to who the culprit (or culprits) might be? :-X

Better keep that pallet board handy, in case they show up again.

This tractor was fitted with a V12 Cummins rated at 400hp and was fitted into a 44 inch frame,10 inches wider than standard.
A extra wide cab was designed as well as a larger capacity radiator to accomadate the massive V12.
It was built in 1951 and was the first of its kind.


Dear Mr Swishy.
I been searching google "Alaska Freight Lines inc." and have came upon a forum which has made reference to me regarding
my reply on another site.I see you have been very active on other forums including the ATHS and also have visited your
web site which I got your email address. I've attached a copy of a article from a 1951 issue
"Commercial Car Journal" which features the tractor in question.From what I've read on that forum you guys are quite
aggressive and I don't want to participate under the fear of been chewed up by you guys.Jimmy seems to be on the spot with
his comments and as for that Blinder character if he has had 50 years in the industry I'm quite sure his next 50 will be more
productive than his previous.


Thanx CC

Paul :)

I wonder did they have to get special axle housings made or was it some off highway housings for the wider chassis rails not much room left under the bonnet with all that motor

and thank you CC for clearing this up [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Your better to die trying than live on your knees begging
