Can't wait to see it in the sunlight.

Will do. Saw this little gem at an airport in western Texas. Still in daily use.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That's great to see. I'm sure if it wasn't still doing fine earning it's keep it would have been replaced

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Nice '64. Looks like a C-50.

Great to see old trucks still in continuous use as mentioned.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Completed paint on the front clip and cab. Still need to restore the bed, racks and wheels. Its coming along.

A few shots of it in the daylight.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That looks great. with the rest done it will look like a brochure picture.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Thank you. I can't wait till its done.

Funny you mention the brochure, I found an original one a little while back and picked it up to go with the truck. I should scan a few pictures out of it and post them.

I need to find out more about the truck shows. I see the pics from those and it makes me want to attend one. Looks like some really neat stuff out there.

Neighbor's 68 Ford N series. He has a 63 N too.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I always liked the N series Fords and other brand pickup cab snub noses.

Not a snub nose t all on the Hendrickson:

Chrome the stakes, stain the side boards...

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

By the collection you have listed you could hold your own show. Is that also your Divco in the background in the one picture. Just noticed that...and the vehicles listed in your signature

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Jonathan------Noticed the wheel chock in your one left side view. That is standard souvineer along with a dash plaque when you register at a national ATHS show. They're usually branded with the date and location . I have enough to start a decent bonfire with my collection since the late '80s .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I'd like to have THAT collection! I've been meaning to complain about these. They don't work so good chocking a truck tire. They need to be at least a 4x4. I use 6x6 cut with a wedge. I AM just kidding, though. As it is there's a clear cut forest somewhere, a lumber shortage for the building industry, and it took 2 maxed-out semi loads to haul them to the show. I was thinking about what a pile of lumber it took to make 1,200+

Nice old Mac Close to my house, have talked to the owner he brings it out and parks it by the road each spring so the truckers can smile as they go by.

Still runs and operates, but is not on the road these days

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I hope his tires keep holding air so he can keep up the ritual. I ove them just like this, but I also see one that will some day be a not so hard restoration

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Western Star tire truck

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Not a semi, and not a GM, just a sad old truck I encountered .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Looks to be about a '50 Dodge.

I've never owned one, to drive anyway, but they were cool trucks.

That one looks pretty restorable to me.

Bill

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Holy Cow....that's awesome.

I sort of always wondered how they changed tires on the big equipment that runs around the rock quarries and such....I guess they use one of these.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I like these old Oshkosh plows.
