View attachment 172023 So my mother bought my son this.... I saw it. Screamed. And hid in a corner lol.

Is that an old P-600?

Is that an old P-600?

I believe so. But it has the roll up back door.

Remember your feet getting wet from the holes for the gas, brake and gas pedals?

Remember your feet getting wet from the homes for the gas, brake and gas pedals?

Holes

 

[rod]

Back then I smoked. It was so windy in the cab while driving on a highway I would have to pull over to light a cigarette.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Holes

Those too.

In the winter on the highway the
Wind coming thru those holes felt like a knife poking a hole in your leg

Carry’d an old army blanket I’d throw over my legs for the hour ride home

Fun times!!

Yeah it was so much easier back then

And don't forget about the engine cover blowing off in the cab.

I used to tape a blanket over the engine cover . 1958 P -400 was a brown freezer .

Never closed the bulkhead door

Slammed on the brakes and a metal 5 gallon bucket of white paint comes sliding out the door still going 65mph

Hit the doghouse and kind of exploded
White paint everywhere on the window all over the cab all over me

Took a bit of explaining but nothing ever came of it

Saw that package car about 5 years later doghouse and driver side floor still had white paint on them

I drove a 1966 p-400 rolling death trap

Had pos brakes either nothing or locked up tight. Scary as hell when it was raining

Sumbitch would do 80mph

 

[BrownFlush]

It was a lot less work leaving an old splintered up painted gray piece of plywood that wouldn't slide or unlock , open all day . Nobody cared anyway .

400 was the same . How in the world I didn't die or kill somebody else I'll never know . Crazy .

Old pos would go thru snow like they had 4 wheel drive

I have a small tractor-trailer (probably about 1/150 scale) from a trucking company I had previously worked at. When I first started here and was all excited and hopped up on brown I thought I'd get a little package car to sit next to it. Not a chance in hell of that happening now. I won't even so much as wear the color in my free time.

My wife was going through some filing cabinets a few months ago and found my 20 and 25 year service “awards” and thought it would be nice to put the 25 year one up on a bookshelf in our office.. I saw it and said “oh hell no!!!” Lol... I think she kept them but they are in a box of random sht in storage in the garage... if I knew where the hell they were at I’d throw them out..
