I used to drive my un restored 54 past this sign in LV from 69-73, Company was later changed to YESCO and a competitor to my Dads employer Federal Sign and signal. Yesco did the "howdy partner" and many other icons. The sign and many others are in a LV museum.

Here is a picture of my truck actually working. My wife's grandfather was the previous owner. I purchased it from him in 1988.

looks more like he's refining the edge of a mold die.
you wouldn't use a milling machine for trimming a sheet metal panel
he's using a huge mill to boot

Reminds me of the old cartoon where Santa and the reindeer have crash landed on the roof of an outhouse and the caption was "dammit rudolph, I said the Schmidt house"!

My 54 was a flight line truck from 54-64 and prolly towed a few light planes. Saw a flight line safety film (yes real reel film" showing how to safety tow planes. In it an AD looking truck towed a t33 into a telephone pole damaging the wing. Around late 1969 i saw a dodge PU truck do the exact same thing cause the tow motors were all in use and they wanted the t33 off the parking pad to make room for an F-111.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Cool stuff!

Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Here is some context on how large that plane is.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

I guess, by today's Chevy standards that tow vehicle would be called a double cab. Haha.

WOW!

This one is cool although you might need to press ctrl and + a few times to really see it. The Miller delivery trucks to the right of center are AD COE trucks.

It's like where's Waldo, haha.
Cool to see the old dealerships

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

The AD guys can correct me, but it looks like there are three AD's in the middle photo. The shop truck with the push bumper is obvious. There's a panel van parked by the service door. But then it looks like some kind of Suburban / panel with a single rear door is hooked to the back of the shop truck.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Awesome photos!

My 65 Sport wagon is in the second row!

Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

I'm guessing 65 although the newest vehicles I see are '64. It's Credited as Chevrolet plant Muncie, IN South Parking Lot. The lot is paved in that photo but partially dirt in the photo below, so if there happens to be an old Muncie employee hanging around the forum we might get a better idea.
