Rick, Somehow I missed this one . Great looking rig. And yes most of them didn't age well at all. Most were run into the ground and then halfway rebuilt. We used to see a lot of them pulling rock buckets.They were too old and decrepid to run the over the road stuff. So they signed on to haul rock and sand. And they were always the trucks that would get stuff in the mud or sand.
Be well Gator

The one I drove for avery short time was basket case, only good part of that truck was the really tired 3406b under the glued together hood that wouldnt stay glued together also had a bad habit of breaking bumpers in half and weekly repair or replacing of bumper mounts and reinforcing rods for bumper. The freightliner air ride was useless in the woods, If happened to park on achunk of slick bark you were well stuck. Glad that thing gathers dust in the yard now.

I missed this one too. Great job Rick. From the sounds of it they were not the best of truck? It is funny though I too thought look wise they did not hold up well over time. Dave
