Nice truck, my uncle described a truck like that to me a few months ago. It pass him on four lane road. Maybe the same one. Did you do the drop on?

Re: Vintage push trucks
 

I didn't do the drop myself but was there when it was done... My friend built the truck for himself and decided to sell it..

Re: Vintage push trucks
 

not only are the old trucks cool but so are the old drag cars as well. If you are in the midwest, the first weekend of oct. there are nosalgic drag in kansas city(kcir). have been there before and there are some old push trucks there. Planning on going again this year as well. Gary

You can of course spot a few more in the pics here and there, (misc, body panels), but that's the real shots. Couldn't believe how many were in there after I saw these pics taken by someone else from years ago before our trucks were classics!

c10addict, I like the way you're thinking. I can get more into the push truck theme than some of the other stuff people are doing.

Dalton, thanks for sharing those. All those shots of old school floppers and front engine rails.........Oh, man! I need to excuse myself. :o

jef5150... where's was the photo of the flamed '48 taken?

Re: Vintage push trucks
 

So ....here you are .... missed ya at the PID reunion.... even with all the "IKE rain" still had a good time.... NO RACING .... very few cars showed up .....

But met Don Gartlis.... was there when he "fired up" the Swamp Rat and talked to many of the guys I used to know from the "Pittsburgh International Dragway" days....

So you're gonna keep doing the "push truck" theme going with "Billy's ex" ....

Hopefully one day we can use it to "put on a show" at one of the "nostaglia drags" with my "C10 altered/gasser.... how about the PID reunion ...2010??? If it doesn't rain again!!!!

BTW... plus.... ya missed Gina's chilli ....yummmmmmy as usual!!!! Give ya a "raincheck"!!! HA!!!
