Trucks Are Beautiful
EDIT 2/9: ALL FIXED! (Sorry Liz. Couldn't fix that one in you post
![]() This is a picture & discussion thread for those who appreciate the old bigger trucks. Feel free to post pictures or comment. This is all brands,old-new,dirty-clean,all sizes... I'll start with a GMC,Old #6 of Lane Transportation. They are no longer in business. I see their trucks at antique truck shows and stumbled on these today:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
A medium duty from the same style:
![]() I knew the owner of this truck and told him, "If you ever decide to sell...". Well,unfortunately,Fred lost a battle with leukemia last year. What a loss. If you ever met him you'd say he was one of the nicest guys you ever met. It was bad timing for me and as far as I know this one is gone. He had quite a collection,mostly GMCs,and his son put quite a few up for sale. You don't just stick these out under the carport. Man what a handsome truck! ![]() Here's a row of some of his GMCs: ![]() ![]()

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I haven't collected pics of them but I really love the older big rigs.I would love to have one but have no idea where I could park it or what I would use it for.I'll bet I could come up with a good excuse though.My Dad drove during the era of those posted so I have actually gotten to ride in many like the ones posted by special K.
