My newest personal vehicle is a '99 Suburban which is definitely old for a New England daily driver. That fleet of yellow truck looks cool. For some reason I seem to find a lot more great pictures from the western states. Quote:

I love that stock car picture. The northeast used to be full of short tracks and a guy could spend almost every night of the week racing.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Nice photo I found. Looks like work was being done but I would guess the furds weren't involved.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
that picture of the Cad in front of the Cattleman's café looks like my mom's first car. she learned to drive in 1952 and dad bought her a 1949 cad series 62. i'd sure like to fine one like it.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
One of the only two trucks I have ever have seen that were chopped before mine in 1974. These trucks got very little love. I have the Rod and Custom magazine with that truck in it, along with the Dream Truck.
Those two meant a lot to me, they were the drive that made me chop mine! Brian
