So fine. Reality sucks! Western Stars aren't a bad thing though.

This monster pulls oil well drilling rigs in the Kuwait desert! They have two of them. Jack and Jill!!! And yes, it was hot as heck that day. Was ready to get back into the shade for sure!!!

Talk about a prime mover!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Those KW 953 are cool as hell. I'd love to see one of the new 963s in person, one of these days I should email them and see if they're building any...their Renton plant isn't far from me, but I don't know if those come out of there.

I think I showed this:

This was the Old 40 chapter of the ATCA annual show that was snowed out in April. It got added on to a bigger event at the Washington County Rural Heritage Museum at the Ag Center. Both days they had the truck show that's normally only one day. There were demonstrations going on with old farming techniques including a group potato dig. They get the kids out and dirty. They have a saw mill run off a belt as well as a stone crusher. Hand made demonstrations of all sorts including cooking. They had good food to eat and there was also a decent size cruise-in going on under a couple big pavilions in the shade. I really neat event overall

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Looking good.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Skipped over this one. My favorite at the truck show. This and a few others shown are antique tractor haulers. It's not a big show, new chapter/new show. Not sure if they'll keep it this weekend or keep it in April. But it's the first week which can be too early weather wise.

Ok, tractors are beautiful, too. Never seen this conversion before:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Gotta:lol: Love That Crankshaft Model !!!!!!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Thanks for posting those Tim. That show had quite a few entries.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yeah, it's a young show, new chapter, and in the more rural part of the state. Also the show is normally in April. But not a bad turnout. And also also, this was Sunday and it was a Sat/Sun local show. So no overnighters for the weekend like bigger shows. I didn't see anyone from my local ATHS chapter and we all got e-mails on it and we all mix up with ATCA. Many are members of both, such as me. Coming up is our Tri-State show where there will be at least 300 entries. Four ATHS chapters are involved from Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. It should be a four state show since WVA line is only a few miles from the show, but I guess they are in the VA chapter (Shenandoah)

The crewcab Mack would make a great toterhome.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Wouldn't it? I would someday like to build a camper on an old heavy truck. I've seen some real top notch jobs, probably by the camper company. But I'd like to buy the skin material and build my own.

This Marmon is top notch

This guy was at a show in PA and I believe he was from CA. It sits on a newer 1t chassis. Pretty neat!

Great advertising pictures. I love that stuff. These would go nicely in one of the GM Truck picture threads with their other buddies.

Looks like a great show and a beautiful day, love them flat fender
B model Mack's. I recognize the Gulf trucks, think I seen em at Macungie PA show. Thanks for the pics

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Thanks for sharing the great truck pictures. I didn't hit some shows this year and forgot my camera going to at least one.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Classy GMC

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yes it is. I like the wagon style body on the back. I'd like to have a truck to built such a bed on, but like a Stepside bed with fenders. I love the iron and wood.

Here's a Ford Model TT hard at work

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That old Ford must have been built pretty tough. Looks like that load doesn't even phase it.

Not like the '55 Ford 3/4 Ton Flat Bed we used to have at the Lumber Yard I worked at. The 2-Ton IH was out of service and our boss told us to use the Ford in it's place. I immediately question that, but didn't say a word to him. We loaded it and went to take off and it wouldn't move. The Flat Bed was sitting on the tires, lol. I told the guy I was working with it was a crazy idea in the first place.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That bed needed a couple rollers on each side to spin with the tires... Ha ha hah!

This is a local (Waynesboro, PA) trucking outfit, pretty much just dry bulk cement to plant. The owner is big on Mopar and has this Big Horn done in fleet paint.

Can anybody ID some of these trucks at 8:10?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Looks like early 60s Chevy vans or GMC Handi-Vans. The single axle tractors are Chevy & Gmc's... Thought I could make out an Olds on the car hauler:chevy::gmc2:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Were on the same wave length here! They are so stout looking. Especially like the mint color '56 Ford F 350 (post 1134). Would need add a few things, a 5 speed overdrive and an auxiliary box to get achieve a double overdrive.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

The trucks in the black and white pictures look really strong and durable.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Is one of the front tires on backwards?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

some people do this for tires to bite better backing up . its a old school thing that works for some .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I"ve seen farmers do it with old two wheel drive tractors for the extra bite.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

Yep

My Pop's old Harrison Ferguson's first set of drive tires were mounted like that.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

How do they handle on the interstate like that? :confused:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

That is one Awesome tow rig .
