Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Found another pic. Bed is torn off and appears to be resting against a fence. If you scan pics forward there are other classic wreck pics.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Looking at the crane and the strap under the rear of the 4X4 panel truck, I can imagine why the cabs and doors don't line up well out of the factory.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I can't explain it, I just LOVE seeing these photos! I study the whole thing, the back ground, every bit of it. I have always loved "life" photos, they aren't Posed or made up to look pretty, just friggin life.
And that link provided a bunch more, what awesome photos! Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
My ‘51 after it hauled some hay and then a shot of her flexing her muscles (pto driven hydraulic dump)
Not terribly vintage of a pic, but a vintage truck doing working truck stuff.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
From an awesome picture link posted earlier.
 I love the bed on this truck. The curves, factory fender skirts, and the continuation of factory chrome makes this a very uncommon truck. Here's one that looks interesting to drive:  The rest are here: https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/...ous-ones-here/ Last edited by 1project2many; 10-26-2018 at 09:58 AM. |

Nothing big. Just providing ground support (and fuel) for the plane claiming the world's longest flight. The flight, BTW, lasted 64 days.
