I was still going off with him in the truck well into my 30's, I loved being on the road so much. Still do, will only need half an excuse to drive a hundred miles!

His last truck was a Volvo FL10, 1995, he retired from driving about 10 years ago and still misses it. I'll see if I can find any pics, highly unlikely but you never know...
