Default Re: Jolly will dig this!!!

Guy my Dad hauled livestock for had a Chevy C-70 with the same cab as that truck with a TORO-FLOW in it & 5+2. It had dual exhausts, and big mufflers by the back of the cab, then straight pipes running up each back corner of the cab from the mufflers and the pipes had muffler hangers supporting the pipes in the top rear outside corners of the cab... All FACTORY. Just enough vibration from those pipes into the cab less than a foot from your head to absolutely drive you NUTS! Nobody would drive the thing. The guy had two Emeryvilles, a full twin screw and a single axle tractor. The other drivers took those first. But that little Chevy was easy to get in & out, lots of windows, was new, everything still worked, Dad disconnected the brackets from the cab to the straight pipes and you could drive/ride in the thing 2-3 hours at a time then and still focus your eyes. Not sure if it had the big V-6 or V-8 but with a 40 ft tandem axle livestock trailer and a load of hogs or cattle it was no speed demon. An IH CO-190 w/450-6 Red Diamond engine would walk away from it loaded.
