Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
Hey wow man! I missed this till now. You deserve some special recognition for your "creation". That's really cool. It's custom in the truest sense...not following others. Where we goin'??

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
Thanks
I have been recreating the body from old photes. The bus is owned by The 29 Palms Historical Society and named the Hastie Bus. The bus was operated by Jonnie Hastie and was the first public transportation for the Morongo Basin. Google Hastie Bus. Thanks again for your comments Kenny |
Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
Kenny,thanks for pointing me to the history. I eat that stuff up. Even better when it relates to vehicles and a man's enterprising ideas. It filed the need for an era after (or at the end of) the horse-drawn stages. I see you have your hands in many interesting forms transportation projects.

Did I show this one yet?

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
Since I have a '38 1 ton without a bed yet, I would like to see more of that truck.

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
That's the only picture I have and not sure where I found it. It has me thinking,too. You could get detailed pictures of a steel pickup bed,maybe measurements too,and make the pieces. I keep looking for ways to incorporate my woodworking skills with my trucks.

Hey,that's cool. Where did you find those? Is there a write up on building this bed?

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
I did a google image search. I think they may be on Jim Carter's site. Yes, here it is:

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
That's really cool you came up with this. I'm no stranger to Google,but I'm still surprised you managed to link up with this. I haven't looked at Jim Carter's site in a good while.
