Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Always got impressed by Extendable Trailers. One company nearby me had them years ago and would carry some frightening loads.
Some may remember me mentioning "Tail Swing". That load will sure take some extra effort, especially in any tight turns. Interesting pictures. Bill

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Always like when the load has a king pin bolted to it. And the trailer is 20'+ behind the tractor.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Long WB tractors might be the hot setup for out west where roads, freight docks are more recent and built to accomodate high loads and wider loads .
But try to back one up and put your trailer in the dock . Even in the early '70s we had to call the cops on private property enclosed delivery docks when tempers flared . Probably some of the eastern terminals were built for 30' trailers ................or maybe just horses and wagon. That's where private draymen and switchers got their business start. |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
It looks like some thief wanted to have the brass and shiney stuff, but with that fire body out of the way, you'd have a neat old Cannonball style truck. Chances are it has a 503" gas engine and 5 speed OD transmission, and was probably supplied through Civil Defense. I had a 1954 model 630 that was supplied to Highland Heights, Ohio through Civil Defense. The retired chief told me it cost the village $15,000 of which half was paid by the volunteer department at that time . It had the statement of origin on it when I bought it, no title because nobody plated it . Statement of origin showed Civil Defense, Columbus Ohio, Village of Highland Heights, then Ohio Rubber owned it before me , they used it for plant fire protection as they had their own fire brigade.
But this old jewel needs to be rescued ! Where in PA. is it ? |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
About 4 years ago ... it was sitting outside an RV/travel trailer dealership just south west of Gettysburg. Would love to see it restored. Thanks for the insight.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I'm seeing a lot of sweet old iron in here but there's a serious lack of Pacifics.
Made right here in North Vancouver until the early 90's ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Can't remember if this was on here before or not, but here's the first video of a Pacific build. I'm sure you can find the rest.
