Dodge. I think they used International some years or models

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Thanks Tim, now I visualize that cab on a Dodge power giant. Thinking later 58-6? Ford cab might of been used there. Wow, I forget they used that Dodge cab a long time

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

It's the came cab Dodge used in the Bighorns and other big trucks many years beyond '60, the last light truck year for that cab

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Here's a good example

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Now when I say "Trucks are beautiful" I'm not just talking about shiny dolled up rigs. I'm talking Trucks. They are beautiful, no matter how ragged, beat, or worn out.

Just look at the added style this A100 cab gained being a heavy truck :cool:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Different conditions but still nice to remember

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I think these look purdy dang kewl.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

So not a Dodge guy, but the A-100 with a hemi would be pretty damn neat

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yes it would. Do one as a super stocker. You know, factory lightweight Plain Jane sleeper. Ugly duck fast truck!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I knew it was a big time show winner but didn't know it was George Barris that painted it...or forgot in 40 or more years. Thanks for more pictures

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That appears to be loaded by hand. No squeeze load there or 2k pound bales. Not something you see much anymore. Sweet Pete too!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I don't have the picture on my computer, but I think it's the one used for the album in the centerfold. It shows looking at it from the front and down the driver side (could be my picture is cropped) showing the loaded trailer behind. Quite a beautiful sight. I'm just realizing this truck would have been my introduction to cool west coast big rigs and especially to trucks/trailer combos and those being hay haulers. I never went to California till '76 and I had this album before that. If there were any big rig magazines back then I never saw one. Overdrive existed back that far, I think

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I grabbed all the pics I could find in the hayhauler page.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Found it, instagram nab

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Thanks for the cool pics KQQl IT. My Dad used to "boom" load hay trucks in the late 60's. He and my mom were living in Woodland CA but he would travel all over the area to load for Toby's Trucking. He said he would work at night during the summer months because of the heat.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yeah, thanks for those! Is that RJ holding the album? That was a fine rig. Is it lng gone or did he hang on to it, I wonder

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Never heard if it's still around.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Probably long gone. Now I'm on a cabover kick.

Another iconic KW:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

He also had this Mack a while

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I wonder if that truck still exists?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Those are pretty cool trucks, but I would not want to drive one in downtown NY City, lol.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

The mack was restored recently.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Hell Bill, I wouldn't want to drive anything in NYC.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I agree, lol.

Never actually been there myself.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I wouldn't want to ride a taxi in NYC!

Yep, the Mack was restored just a couple yeas ago, '15 I think. How about a moving picture about it

Freightliners

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Interesting pictures.

That first one sure is nice.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Isn't it? I'd own it.

Did I show this thing?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Imagine checking the Tire Pressure on each one before the day started?

Of course we would just hit them with a bar.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I agree. The second one is nice but looks like crap from behind.
Imagine that...36 wheeler! It would create a tire shortage if it got all new rubber at once. Probably take two days to air them all up

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Is that Dump an Autocar ,cant tell from the pic but I like it .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I believe it's a Mack.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

It does kind of look like a Mack ,never seen one like it .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That's a big/heavy one. Probably got a Mack V8. Look how wide the hood is. Somebody put quad square headlights in, that throws it off.
