Hey Gang.

Here's the business end of the truck that I drive. These are ref. photo for you softskin builders.
Note the way the grease and mud are all over the place. The tanks are stainless steel. This truck as only been on the road 1 year.

Needs a good bath.

I know.
At least everyone gets to see how the grease is thrown all over the place after maintance is done on the drive lines.
Note the "chop" on the drive tires. That's from rear end being out of alinement on the trailers.
Trailer goes left/right, truck wants to go straight.
