New purchase.....

[Bob Carriere]

The old Ford perfomed flawlessly..... 6 L diesel handled the load very well....... kept 110km at 2000rpm....fuel consumption increased by 50%.....normally do 600KM on a tank... only did 400km while towing....... electric brakes on trailer are mandatory and very helpful...... driving with an extra 7000+ pounds is somewhat more demanding of attention and stressful/tiring ... have a buddy to spare you off at the wheel is crucial.....


At one truck stop taking fuel..... one guy walked over and with that strange puzzled look asked..... What is it???? answered 1942 chev........ he replied..... did you find it at the bottom of a lake it is all rusted..... are you going to restore THAT????

What do they know....... Rob was tempted to tell them it was a Russian trcuk we had brought down form the Artic... the dumkoff would probably have believed it..... but a honest CMPER woulf never do that....
