1960 C60 getting cleaned up.

Thanks :)

Can't wait to see it in the sunlight.

Beautiful paint.

Real nice truck.

Keep us posted on it.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Will do. Saw this little gem at an airport in western Texas. Still in daily use.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That's great to see. I'm sure if it wasn't still doing fine earning it's keep it would have been replaced

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Nice '64. Looks like a C-50.

Great to see old trucks still in continuous use as mentioned.

Bill

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Completed paint on the front clip and cab. Still need to restore the bed, racks and wheels. Its coming along.

A few shots of it in the daylight.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That looks great. with the rest done it will look like a brochure picture.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Thank you. I can't wait till its done.

Funny you mention the brochure, I found an original one a little while back and picked it up to go with the truck. I should scan a few pictures out of it and post them.

I need to find out more about the truck shows. I see the pics from those and it makes me want to attend one. Looks like some really neat stuff out there.

Neighbor's 68 Ford N series. He has a 63 N too.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I always liked the N series Fords and other brand pickup cab snub noses.

Not a snub nose t all on the Hendrickson:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Chrome the stakes, stain the side boards...

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

By the collection you have listed you could hold your own show. Is that also your Divco in the background in the one picture. Just noticed that...and the vehicles listed in your signature

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Jonathan------Noticed the wheel chock in your one left side view. That is standard souvineer along with a dash plaque when you register at a national ATHS show. They're usually branded with the date and location . I have enough to start a decent bonfire with my collection since the late '80s .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I'd like to have THAT collection! I've been meaning to complain about these. They don't work so good chocking a truck tire. They need to be at least a 4x4. I use 6x6 cut with a wedge. I AM just kidding, though. As it is there's a clear cut forest somewhere, a lumber shortage for the building industry, and it took 2 maxed-out semi loads to haul them to the show. I was thinking about what a pile of lumber it took to make 1,200+

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Nice old Mac Close to my house, have talked to the owner he brings it out and parks it by the road each spring so the truckers can smile as they go by.

Still runs and operates, but is not on the road these days

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I hope his tires keep holding air so he can keep up the ritual. I ove them just like this, but I also see one that will some day be a not so hard restoration

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Western Star tire truck

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Not a semi, and not a GM, just a sad old truck I encountered .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Looks to be about a '50 Dodge.

I've never owned one, to drive anyway, but they were cool trucks.

That one looks pretty restorable to me.

Bill

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Holy Cow....that's awesome.

I sort of always wondered how they changed tires on the big equipment that runs around the rock quarries and such....I guess they use one of these.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I like these old Oshkosh plows.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

This picture reminds me of a truck I drive past every now and again. Its a lonely old 1960 Ford wrecker. Looks like it was driven in to its place near the road and parked some 20 odd years ago. I should snap a pic next time by and post.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yeah you should. I should have stopped today when a passed a farm that had a 67-72 C/50 grain body out. Those old dodges make me smile, like a puppy dog. The '50s was the peak for Dodge trucks.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Here are a few random trucks I passed by and had presence of mind enough to snap a few pics of.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That first one is quite a picture, showing the various models. I'd love to have that snub-nose

Talk about a beautiful truck!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That snub nose is owned by a guy near me. He and his son are quite the truck collectors. They have a lot of really neat stuff at their place. I was down there looking at parts for another project of mine and that was the truck that peaked my interest the most so I asked if it was ok to walk back and take a few photos. If I remember right, its a low-miler truck and has either a 265 or 283 V8 engine. Looks very complete and very restoreable.

That truck you posted is a Pacific Truck right? I watched a few videos of those on youtube. Pretty neat.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yep, it's a Pacific. One hella truck right there, ey? That yellow truck is a real stand-out. Even with a V8?? How cool? I'd have to go back and look at the picture, but I think it's a '57, so could be a 283. Either one is just cool. I would restore that all original. It appears to be more like one to "pretty up" than need an actual restoration. She's aged beautifully. I like the fade on the paint and all! Sounds like it's in good hands and won't be turned into a just another goofy pickup truck... I hope

Cool pictures.

Really like that Pete in the first picture.

That '61 L-70 sure is in nice shape.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

snapped a pic of this tough old customer today.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Pretty decent late L-model yet. Some great pictures added. Last Tuesday out on I-70 I saw one sweet truck after the next. I only run about 20 miles, but I must have seen a dozen assorted obviously well put together well cared for owner/operator or small fleet rigs. Not all together and hauling different trailers, but I mostly recall covered wagons and grain haulers, like Timptes. A few Curtain-sides

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

man thats some weight rollin on down the highway!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

i just fell in love! that rod is so badass on so many levels!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I don't think I've ever commented on that fine car hauler you operate. Mighty fine
