Cool trucks! Thanks for sharing.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Here is a picture I found and thought I would share.
A GMC with a load of fresh Buicks.

Those 1960 LeSabre's are just too cool.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Nice looking Tractor too.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Here's a wimpy little dune buggy:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Saw this Brigadier parked a ways out of of town, never have seen a Brigadier Rig before. I'll get better pictures next time I'm out there(next couple of weeks), but I'm pretty limited by perimeter fence.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Sure do wish we had this one back. It's a '47 GMC I think (maybe someone could help with that). I remember riding in the back in a foldout chair. Thought it was cool when I was 8 ... and still do. Just wish we still had it.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Race-----Your hauler has the appearance of a '54/ early 55 GMC, possibly a 300 or 350 series. Push button door handles and wing vent windows put it newer than '52 , as well .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Thanks JunkMan ... I've googled some of these old trucks, but haven't been able to narrow down the year.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Thanks for sharing. All nice trucks. That last KW conventional has the old hiway look

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Just another green Mack dump truck

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

That Mack A series posted in # 699 and 701 is owned by Lowell Baker, retired field mechanic from Great Lakes Diesel and Columbus Equipment. Lowell has or had a 1-71 for sale, plus used to own the Oliver tractor that was DRIVEN to Alaska with a 4 wheel farm wagon as camper. He typically shows a big, 20-30 HP hit and miss engine at shows .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Long nose Ford. Something you rarely see (or saw)

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Tim-----I suppose you know that Michelle did the photo-shop trick on her N model Ford, also added the tandem axle as well as the stretched out hood .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Thanks to everyone for sharing. We need to add the truck used in the movie "Duel" with Dennis Weaver. :metal:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Dan,

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Mack

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Back in the sixties, I rode out of the log woods many times in an old Mack with three sticks. I never did figure out how the driver knew which gear he needed next. It was quite a treat to watch though. Sometimes we would be a mile or more off the beaten path so he got lots of practice.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

That's quite the western Mack
