Those trucks do hard work. Being a heavy hauler in Baltimore means he gets called to the docks often to haul heavy stuff out but also just to move things around on site. He does also now run a big ole Kenworth C500 (I think it is)

1996 Peterbilt 379 glider with a 3412 kitty and a mind boggling 17 whole miles on it

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That first one is still waiting. At this point it should remain a glider kit IMO. The second one looks like it was bought to build a custom. Custom show truck since only 17 miles

Richard Copello is a big truck fan has a huge collection of vintage car hauler photos on his site. Luckily a few had the incite to take photos back in the day when most thought trucks "weren't cool". Hadley( below) and Convoy handled the haulaway in Western US. Earlier Hadley trucks were red then changed to blue in the late 60's. Yellow pickup is a 9' F 350 1 ton, not a common purchase by the public , IMO, probably sold to a gov. agency.

Steve Leonard ran this from 70 ish til he passed earlier this year.
Jake Wheeler has it now and intends to keep it as it ran. Figures it has near 4m miles on running local in the bay area. Top photo was this week. Middle was from October 2018. And not sure about the bottom.. |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Great photos KOOL IT, I believe I may have seen that Pete a couple of times. A true narrow nose classic.

1961 REO 4x4 on Craigslist. Not my truck. I wonder if it started it's career as a wrecker or maybe it worked for a house moving company.

I was thinking how long it's been since I posted a truck picture. I waited long enough

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
The sleeper is a little on the small size, lol.
That truck reminds me of a truck I saw yesterday on the interstate while traveling to a swap meet. It was as nice as the truck above, but had polished aluminum fenders. Quite the impressive truck. |
Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That is quite the rig. I can't imagine getting around with that. Just getting fuel at your average truck stop would be a challenge and a half.

High center the trailer? That's only if the truck clears! That's a lot of extra front axle weight

I saw this one on display at the local Jubitz truck stop. I really like the KB series Internationals. My first truck was a 47 KB 5.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Big truck, KB8, but strange that it only has Hydraulic Brakes. Or is that a mis-label?

Forgive me for all the bad things I said about the Dodge trucks, they just took awhile to grow on me

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
With those Dual Stacks, good chance it's Detroit Powered.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
A real Bighorn. I'd bet on a Detroit under that nose. Dodge sure got a lot of use out of that cab

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Classy. I wonder if it's a town vehicle. The door marking looks like it could be a town seal

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Although a GM fan, those Big Fords are impressive.
Starting all the way back in the late 40's with the F-8. |

1969 (shown) was the end of the line of this styling first introduced in 1961. Boy are these grain trucks clean!

A friend of mine had a F-800 Tandem with a Knuckle Boom on it. The impressive thing about it was the 5 X 4 Trans.
