I drove almost exclusively t 600s at truck driving school. I could run circles around the newer freight-shakers. One I drove had a super 10 and a Detroit the other had a 13 and a n14 cummins man I loved that cummins. I liked that 13 speed a lot better than than sloppy old super 10

1940 White heavy duty truck converted into a pickup. This thing is pretty sweet. The entire bed and rear fenders were fabricated.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I love that thing! I ran a cross it and saved a picture 10 years ago when I first started checking out the internet. I wonder what's up with it today. Do you know how old that picture is? I guess this is more of a heavy hauler downsized to a 4-wheeler...in more ways than one! I see lots of fabricated pickup boxes on the single rears at the old truck shows. I sold a pair of LWB Stepside bedsides to a guy with a Mack B who had a pickup job in mind

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I don't know what its story is today or how old that picture is. Here is a link from 2000 with some information on it though: http://www.fourwheeler.com/project-v...0-white-truck/

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I got my picture later than 2000. I see it has more mirrors added since the article.

My 9' stepside box sides are fabricated from 12 guage sheet plus 2x4" box tubing for the top rail . For the floor, I have a 108" trailer door blank, etched stainles clad. In the past, I always kept the bed covered with mud flaps, as no tellin' what I'd haul.With the stainless, I'll have to show it off !

Can't remember if I posted this here or not. I didn't want to go back through 500+ posts.
This was a towing company I worked for back in the early 80's. We called this truck the Centipede.
In it's day it was the 3rd largest towing company in the US.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I dug these pictures up from way back in my Photobucket. This truck was parked, unattended, just off I-70. Never thought about it till now, but this is the exit just beyond the weigh station. I wonder if they pulled him and escorted him there because it wouldn't make the turn back to the lot. Anyway, here are some pictures:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I like!!!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

The rears are packin' up. Better get out the fake chains! :lol:

I absolutely love that beast. I worked a while contracting reforestration for Simpson Lumber near the Klamath. I loved seeing those off road trucks. Modern day draft horses. My grandpa was a mountain logging drover. Now there's a real man!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

here's the other end

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That snow sure looks real.

Nice looking logs by the way.

The truck kind of reminds me of the "Duel" truck.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I'd say that is quite a bit older than the duel truck.

Cool looking low mount peterbilt

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Peerless trailer...beep beep

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I think they use the trailer with their newer rigs as they are still logging.
