The cab looks Mack.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I'm sure it's a Mack. It's either Australian or someone put the quad square lights in. It's this body, but no set-back axle:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I think your right. The number of axles would indicate Australia too.

One of the early diesel powered Mack's.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Man that is sweet! I saw an old AC with a diesel. There weren't many. Probably near the end which was about the same year as that truck. I believe the last AC was '39.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I just came across this picture in my Photobucket. It's my buddy's you all have probably seen me show, the painted up '58 Reo. It's a factory sleeper cab now but it wasn't always. He came across a sleeper cab '58 in rough shape and it went from there. In the end it's two cabs combined. I captured both trucks this day.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Man, looks great, but what a lot of work.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

You got that right. The floor and lower windshield/cowl was shot on the sleeper cab, so he grafted the two. Thn he stretched the frame. Since that he has installed Peterbilt rear air suspension. also, that floor he repaired got two big square holes cut out and boxes welded beneath to allow for the new take out air ride Bostrom Peterbilt seats. It keeps getting better. It has something like 3:42 gears now and with that little Cat it gets 12.5 mpg.
Always more to do, though. Such as wipers have never worked since we've been riding together and water leaks in a lot of places :lol:. This is us rolling in to '09 Macungie show. Man that was a wet one. Rained the whole time. My feet were like prunes

Love those old Chain Drives.

I can remember some still on the road and working in my younger years.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Me too. At the truck shows I've seen trucks I was surprised still had chain drive.

This bigass Mack was at the ATHS National Show in York. It's a '43

Nice picture. Shows your truck as the only color in a black & white world

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Good old trucks...

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Hey Jeff, welcome to the site. I agree they symbolize all those things. Some say they are purpose built and full of function and look pretty good. All that is true, but I say they are B E A Utiful and pretty darn functional as well...heh heh. I also like(d) how they hang onto their good looks rather than getting constant superficial style changes, like cars. Cars are built for consumers and trucks mean business. Now light trucks are right in their with cars for being marketed to the same people, although they still have more function (I mean as trucks, not wi-fi centers, navigation devices, heated seats, etc)

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

This truck belongs to a friend of mine, Dave (Beerman) Brewer who operates Heavy Traffic Trucking. He hauls classic cars. I believe it's a 1970 Pete. Beautiful truck. Hard to believe the truck started life as a dump truck.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Very nice. A classy custom job for sure. Is the one next to it his, too?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

No that looks like another one of the classic car hauler guys named Kevin. I havent seen his truck but a couple of times so I don't know the details. There's a few of the independents that run around together, there's another old orange truck that is outstanding as well.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Truck driver's dream. Truck outfitted to his liking, independent, yet hooked up with steady loads of cargo that unloads itself (with help from driver). It's cool how he added all those louvers, yet subdued them in the white stripes. One of those trucks that gets better the longer you look at it.

I know a guy that hauls produce and cheese in a customized W900L...all purple. It's not as old, I think a '99, but it looks great, works steady, and has something like 4.2 million miles on it. Been through an attempted suicide by truck incident as well where a guy in a pickup drove head-on into him

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Been a while since a post.

A couple 71/72 Chevy cabovers...ha ha ha! I see some Chevy in that grille

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Those are pretty nice old trucks ,never seen any like em before .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

If I did it was when I was a kid. My buddy has that '58 Reo. It would be cool if I could get one of these. Not too many around, though, I am sure. Reo was quite a company. They did some cool stuff like made lawn mowers.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

This 61 Mack is for sale in Joplin, MO for $7,500. I guess I got this thread confused with "Post Your CL finds".

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Looks like it is in pretty nice condition.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

It does look to be in decent shape. I like the look of those. Only thing I don't like is the cab doesn't tilt. Wouldn't like working on one.

Local antique farm show

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Class sick! What a rig?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Local Pete, 1966 351 needlenose for sale on Philly Craigslist. Love this truck

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That is a sharp rig.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I believe I've seen that at Macungie and maybe the ATHS National Show in '15, and it is a true gem.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Another favorite

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That sure is a sharp pusher.

How about a chopped and dropped Ford toy?

1924 Four Wheel Drive Auto Co.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Compare the red truck to the black one. Cab on red truck is offset to the right and the black one to the left. Pretty sure they are DM models.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

These trucks are TRANSFORMERS! Whooaaaaaa! Awesome trucks! Will post my Transformer soon!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
