[QUOTE="Tony31yrs, post: 358198, member: 13245"] When I started, I was running split routes in P400's and International p350's that were already 20+ years old. We called them "Widow makers"and they were in the shop almost as much as on the road. The wipers worked off the engine vacuum so that they went faster as you drove faster. They had a lot of holes in the package area and there was a coating of dust on everything when you drove down a dirt road. The only good thing about them were these huge heater/blowers mounted on the interior engine cowl that blew all kinds of hot air in the winter. We used to have to use paper and carbons and everyone was against the diad when it first came out. After 2 days, no one wanted to go back to paper. The supes were all as bad as the worst ones are today. The only difference was that they didn't have today's technology and had to sneak around and follow you on route. [/QUOTE]
