Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Wouldn't it? I would someday like to build a camper on an old heavy truck. I've seen some real top notch jobs, probably by the camper company. But I'd like to buy the skin material and build my own.

This Marmon is top notch

This guy was at a show in PA and I believe he was from CA. It sits on a newer 1t chassis. Pretty neat!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Great advertising pictures. I love that stuff. These would go nicely in one of the GM Truck picture threads with their other buddies.

Thanks for sharing the great truck pictures. I didn't hit some shows this year and forgot my camera going to at least one.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Yes it is. I like the wagon style body on the back. I'd like to have a truck to built such a bed on, but like a Stepside bed with fenders. I love the iron and wood.

Here's a Ford Model TT hard at work

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

That old Ford must have been built pretty tough. Looks like that load doesn't even phase it.

Not like the '55 Ford 3/4 Ton Flat Bed we used to have at the Lumber Yard I worked at. The 2-Ton IH was out of service and our boss told us to use the Ford in it's place. I immediately question that, but didn't say a word to him. We loaded it and went to take off and it wouldn't move. The Flat Bed was sitting on the tires, lol. I told the guy I was working with it was a crazy idea in the first place.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

That bed needed a couple rollers on each side to spin with the tires... Ha ha hah!

This is a local (Waynesboro, PA) trucking outfit, pretty much just dry bulk cement to plant. The owner is big on Mopar and has this Big Horn done in fleet paint.

Looks like early 60s Chevy vans or GMC Handi-Vans. The single axle tractors are Chevy & Gmc's... Thought I could make out an Olds on the car hauler

Were on the same wave length here! They are so stout looking. Especially like the mint color '56 Ford F 350 (post 1134). Would need add a few things, a 5 speed overdrive and an auxiliary box to get achieve a double overdrive.

I"ve seen farmers do it with old two wheel drive tractors for the extra bite.

Yep

My Pop's old Harrison Ferguson's first set of drive tires were mounted like that.
