Those old tri axle dump trucks were serious money makers a few years back. I am sure its not as good now with high insurance and fuel prices.

That's an awful clean dump truck, HPD. I don't think I've ever seen one that clean.

Ain't shiny paint and chrome wonderful things? That truck is a 1979, and spent it's life as a west coast log hauler. The fella sold it a number of years ago, and recently his son found it and bought it back, and converted it to the dumper. That is a tired old truck, but somebody with a merciful right foot can get a lot of miles out of 'er yet.

Way back in the early 1970's when I was very young, I got a job driving a tri axle Ford. The guy taught me how to drive it and put me to hauling dirt the next day. In two weeks, I was loading my truck with a big John Deer excavator, or a Case front end loader. I learned to change tires on those split rims too. If memory servs I was paid $7.00/hour.
