Nostalgia & History > Idiots - You put the Wrong Trucks on these UnitsDate: 04/23/16 00:38 Idiots - You put the Wrong Trucks on these Units Author: YukonYeti Recently I came across a shot of a unit with trucks other than the builder had intended.. Going thru the collection I found more so I figured there were a good number of people working for builders who just could not get it right... Tongue in cheek..
