Interesting box on the back of the AD. Is it canvas or tar paper? What purpose are the 2 openings on the front? B&O railroad photo from the mid to late 50's judging from the 2 cars in the back right side.

Ok guys, what in the heck are these brackets on the left fenders for?

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
That's a nice truck.
I don't know what the brackets are for, but I'm fairly certain I can find them in one of my old JC Whitney catalogs. |

Looks like Wheel Chocks ??

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
That truck was NOT the norm, these trucks not no love back then, pretty rare to see a customized one. I am wondering about how low it is, I am thinking it's got another frame under it, or a front frame section welded on would be more likely. But the Rod and Custom Dream truck had a 50 Olds frame under it for a bit, they were thinking about that stuff back then, maybe that is what they did to this one.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that it may have a Cadillac frame/suspension with the early air ride and possibly a Caddy mill. My theory is all based on the Cadillac emblem on the hood.

Since we're talking about the dream truck again, here's a few early pictures:

Ok, so that adds another one I had seen but thought it was Gil’s Auto Body Works truck! I always thought they were the same truck and mine fell in at number 3 that I had seen chopped. So now my truck is the forth one that I have seen documented as chopped. The Ortega truck was chopped a few years after mine. So I am still at number four! WHOOO HOOO! LOL There had to be more, I get it, but documented, from what I have seen over the years mine is number 4. :D Brian |
