We then ventured to Station 4 in the Dry Fork community where we found an old rig from Western NC! I got into this hobby too late to shoot this truck in service at Fletcher. It was replaced in the 2005 era, just as I was getting into the sport. I was pretty happy to finally get a pic of it!
Dave, can you or someone else explain why this 1982 truck has a 1987 Saulsbury body? or was it just a 1987 Saulsbury refurb of the existing body? Seems like you or someone has explained it before, but I can't remember the details.
