Used to haul a lot of rock and sand with a 59 White Mustang. It had a 220 cummins and a mech. shift 4X4. The cab was so tiny that the seats rubbed against each other and if you weren't real carefull, you could get to know your passenger a lot better than you wanted to especially with the two sticker, lol. The steering wheel was a great big ole thing and I kept hitting my elboe on the door window and my knuckles on the dash when shifting. It had a switch on the dash right in front of the shifters that you could turn on or off the brakes on the steering axle that could teach you an entirely new language. It was like sitting in a moving oven in the summer and a deep freeze in the winter. I had a vacuum cleaner hose that I could hook up to the heater under the seat and kind of string up around the roof and point at the windshield to keep a little spot on the windshield free of frost and fog. Wouldn't trade my new W900 with air ride cab, air ride suspention, air ride seats, air ride sleeper, power steering, air conditoning, and all that sound insulation for every White Truck ever built (if I had to drive them). The Trailer (a cable dump) had a stinger welded on the back under the tail gate so when I came up out of the pit a dozer would get behind me and push me up out of the pit and get me started back to the black top. I do have some old pictures of it in a boot box but have no way to send them over the internet. I know where the truck is sitting, for sale, at this moment. It is in Ponca City, Oklahoma. From the intersection of Hwy 177 & Hwy 60 go about a half a block West. There is a whole buch of other worthless road construction equipment and trucks right there beside the road all for sale. The next time I am there I could get the phone number painted on the side of an old box van and post it here or send you an email if I knew where to send it.
