For sale at a reasonable amount, 1962--it's a DC-102A64 250 Cummins with boxes.
Not common with quad headlights.

Schwab tire guys in the yard, give me a call 40 minutes ago, so a quick run. A set of
disc so roasted it ground outboard pad backing plates to nothing, and kicked those out.
Both drives and steer junk, but on the positive side--I'll insert common phrase------
"it's all good". At least no one ended up in the hospital and I have a tow for Tuesday
morning. Rough estimate $ 8,000 to put back in order.

One of the few I have driven.

Actually a pretty good truck, that one has good specs. I ran one with same specs on west coast
about same age as that one. It was real good overall. Dark dark blue, almost black, with one
stack.

The one I ran was the high top with the BC 350. I was younger then and the climb was not bad.

The Climb these days is the killer

Oh it's a matter of mind set in some ways, and a matter of gravity pulling on the boomer
pot bellies rounded out by two/three biscuit plates of biscuits/gravy and two over medium.
And for some the climb will send the cardiovascular system into 190 over 100 combined
with thinner air at that altitude. But I think there is a holder to attach to doghouse to
contain the oxygen bottle on the market now.

My issue is Knees and Shoulders, FAR too many days wrenching In the Rain, In the Mud, In the Cold or Hot then off to Nuke world and 104F on Turbine Deck with snow flying 0F outside in February, or Containment Entry at power to test the Under Vessel Tunnel Sump Pump, 107F that day in March on the Ground Floor and we at the 40 foot floor level. Steel Stairs, Concrete Floors or Grating, Hot, and Cramped, always kneeling for some component to adjust, inspect or test. Then the Steel Bar Stock rung Ladders, straight Vertical bolted to structures, and swing gates at step offs. Near to as bad or worse than a K100 similar to one I owned. Beat beyond recognition.

Most or a high percentage who worked any trade jobs for a living--had a rigorous life
at some point. And the older we get the hill we climbed walking backwards in -60 snow
storms on our way to school seems to get longer, colder & steeper as time goes by.
And never remember snaring their nuts on the lawn sprinkler they forgot to move out of
the way after removing garden hose to hook to the 60's boomer toy Wham-O-Slip-n-Slide.
