Re: Truck shows
Looks good. Also like that Brockway parked next to you.
Another bus story:
Out here in the country of SW Virginia, a lot of things are still pretty much like back in the old days, but years ago in the early 60's, requirements to drive a School Bus weren't anything extensive. A friend of mine got a job driving the bus when he was 16. Once he dropped off all the kids, he then parked the bus and went into class himself. (Don't ask me what happened if he ever had to stay after school, lol, but the next time I see him, I'll ask).

My wife started driving right out of h.s. she couldn't drive
For a district, you had to be 18., but she could drive for a
Out side contractor, and take kids to school. And that's what she did. Turned out she did it for 35 yrs.

Re: Truck shows
It must be a tight squeeze as it looks like a Short Nose to boot.
I was wondering about that with the left side stack showing in the picture.
I believe some of the Long Nose Brockways had 12V-71's in them.
