That's funny. He was over to our mutual friend's (who is building a house) yesterday around lunch time and I was over there in the late afternoon so I just missed them. We got to chatting later and he mentioned that Curt went with a buddy to help his uncle get three deuces from IA. I thought the same thing, its a small world.Yep thats him. And measurement is noted. I had heard that curt has a buddy that has a deuce. Kinda looks like its a small world.
The Volvo is a 1995 WIA64TES with a VED12 425HP engine and Volvo 14 speed syncro trans. The trans was not liked by most american truckers because single clutching is required every shift and was dropped after just a few years. Still used in Europe in some variation. I personally think it is a creampuff of a transmission to run, like a modern pickup with a stick.Wow that Volvo looks almost the same one i trained on! Does it have the Cummings? (sorry for the thread hijack!)
how hard was it to load the deuces on the trailer of that height? you use a loading dock?
and Nice trucks![]()
A hint for all load height guessers. You are all very close and I would only measure it to the nearest inch so it 13'__"
Ummm not so fast USAFSS-ColdWarrior .. That was just a hint. There is a blank that you need to fill in if you look closely at my messageIf that's the OFFICIAL height.... Then I'll be the first to step up and claim the prize......
