This was a new kind of video for the south main auto channel. Thought it was really cool. Grew up around trucks as a kid. Dad drove one as well as his dad. Later in life my dad had a trailer repair and truck body shop. So riding in rigs and blowing air horns was a big deal to me as a kid. Brought back some memories with the dashboard tour and the sound of the engine in the cab. Gotta make more vids like this when you can. What gearhead don't like big rigs and diesel power? 😉
