I've been knowing of Tyrone and his awesome trucks since the early 90's when I was a little one. I first saw his Boss Truck in a book about trucks that I checked out from my school library.
Don't believe everything you read mate, when he brought his "Super Boss" to Australia we kicked his ass big time. Sent him home with his tail between his legs. Fact!
We shared a parking lot our shop and Tyrone’s in Goshen California back in the day. What a great character. That two stroke Detroit Diesel was incredible.
I LOVE these trucks! I reember seeing them in 1976 or 77 it was somewhere in Pa. I was 9 or 10. Yes they were Red White and Blue back then. Yes I became an owner operator.Thank you TYRONE you ROCK!!
Seen the Papa truck,Super Boss,and I'm pretty sure that Boss truck KW with the two Mercury' sleepers at the World of Wheels car show at Municipal Auditorium in KC Mo. back in the mid 80s! Met the driver of the Papa truck,and got Bandag retread hat!
That resto was done in early 90s...the boss truck came next,71 kw extended hood w900 12 v 71 na detroit,eaton sqhd drives and 13 speed with double overdrive countershaft truck was geared for 120 mph,set the first world record for a factory truck on the salt flats at 114mph
That whale truck was a 67 w900,335cummins,spicer 4by4 transmision,355 final drives on 10.00 20 tires.before the whale was caught and froze my dad had malone display the tractor at the BF Goodrich store in visalia they installed those white walls dad suggested,trailways coaches used as well,l restored the show and toured the fair and shoping center curcuit with the whale, I am 66 now best truck i ever drove...ran 83 mph with 79680 lbs gross
I remember seeing that frozen whale which was on display my local shopping center in Inglewood, CA. Early '71 or '72. I remember seeing a color picture of the whale being caught there were several pics above the whale. One was a pic of Irvy on the back of the whaling ship with its tail up in the air meaning she was still alive. I remember feeling really sad that they caught and killed her. Back then, I thought they captured her just to freeze her and display her. But I recently learned there was more to the story.
aaay yeah the good ol days i remember this truck i had the model and saw it up close smokey and the bandit in the backgound music it the best ,, keep on truckin...
Some very cool trucks in here, but the trucks shown at 7.00 to 7.10 aren't his. They belong to Frank Gaffiero, an Aussie. He had these two which he travelled around to shows with doing burnouts and he also had a race truck. He used to race with my father and grandfather.
