Love the fat cab hay wagon. "Hay" back atcha!

That T cab is a great picture. Guys would kill for that trailer now, too. How about the modern apartments with wind units?

Some nice stuff from Macungie (ATCA National)

Ugh this Brigadier really loves to tease me lol. Parts must me a lil harder to get for these old girls. She's been parked and moved around the repair shops lot for at least the past month. The more a see it, the more I want one, even if I gotta buy one with a cat or cummins just to do a 6v92 engine sawp.

And how about an artists rendering of a 70's GMC with the single or (Chevy) headlight treatment rollin on super singles.

Willing to wager that's an ex-Yellow Freight Brig. with an L10 Cummins. Good little tractor.

**special-K** · 07-09-2021, 04:42 AM

I'd like to get a tractor like that and keep it useful for an assortment of trailers.

I found this picture the other day

Cool picture, but I would not have liked the "Hydramatic" transmissions.

Wonder how they held up through the years?

Around 1960 they were all rebuilt with 8V-71's and a Spicer 4 speed manual transmission, and they didn't get towed much after that.

Some tow truck, can't tell if it's a Marmon-Herrington or Coleman 4X4 conversion. Looks like it has a 'diesel' emblem, probably has a 4-71 in it.

Big Mopar promo shot............... with Chevy Trucks hauling

Some great old truck pictures!

Not sure if I've shown these yet

KQQL IT · 08-21-2021, 11:47 AM

Forgot this one

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-21-2021, 08:54 PM

I always known them to have 6V-53's for Diesels.

Is the 6V-71 correct?

Fairly surprised the chevrolet emblem wasn't covered.
PMT used to de badge the Volvos they ran.

Yes, a few had 6V-71's. PMT's tandem auto haulers had 6V-71's.
Most did have 6V-53's though.

I love these old trucks.
