Talk about a beautiful truck!

That snub nose is owned by a guy near me. He and his son are quite the truck collectors. They have a lot of really neat stuff at their place. I was down there looking at parts for another project of mine and that was the truck that peaked my interest the most so I asked if it was ok to walk back and take a few photos. If I remember right, its a low-miler truck and has either a 265 or 283 V8 engine. Looks very complete and very restoreable.

That truck you posted is a Pacific Truck right? I watched a few videos of those on youtube. Pretty neat.

**special-K** · 08-03-2015, 09:02 AM

Yep, it's a Pacific. One hella truck right there, ey? That yellow truck is a real stand-out. Even with a V8?? How cool? I'd have to go back and look at the picture, but I think it's a '57, so could be a 283. Either one is just cool. I would restore that all original. It appears to be more like one to "pretty up" than need an actual restoration. She's aged beautifully. I like the fade on the paint and all! Sounds like it's in good hands and won't be turned into a just another goofy pickup truck... I hope

I don't think I've ever commented on that fine car hauler you operate. Mighty fine

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-25-2015, 10:37 AM

Cool pictures.

Really like that Pete in the first picture.

That '61 L-70 sure is in nice shape.

Pretty decent late L-model yet. Some great pictures added. Last Tuesday out on I-70 I saw one sweet truck after the next. I only run about 20 miles, but I must have seen a dozen assorted obviously well put together well cared for owner/operator or small fleet rigs. Not all together and hauling different trailers, but I mostly recall covered wagons and grain haulers, like Timptes. A few Curtain-sides

GM72K10 · 09-05-2015, 07:40 AM

Not mine. 59 Dodge Tractor, before and after. Nice restoration.

Nope, but it's great to have in the outhouse to shake a little over your poop

BTW, that's a cool picture

**special-K** · 10-06-2015, 06:05 AM

This truck is beautiful... as long as the driver keeps his pants on!!

**special-K** · 10-06-2015, 10:23 PM

That don't make-em like that anymore, so that's old (and it's a shame they stopped). Sixteen years of workin' can make a truck look ruff, unless you treat it right. I've always liked the service/lube trucks an outfit needs that runs equipment.

**special-K** · 10-11-2015, 09:54 AM

I really like that picture, too. Were you about to stop for a trucker's cup of joe at Starbucks? (and tahell with all them little 4-wheelers

)

KQQL IT · 10-12-2015, 02:07 PM

As do i, guy comes by and gets it cleaned up for me.

**special-K** · 11-01-2015, 09:10 AM

This thread is so big I'm not sure I ever posted these. They were from Carlisle Trucks '07 and maybe I only showed them in that thread way back when. Anyway, Trucks are beautiful and I sure am glad there are owners who feel that way

Shiny new heavy equipment ain't so ugly either

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-01-2015, 01:37 PM

Look good.

Nice '57 Chevy alongside there as well.

BigDan3131 · 11-30-2015, 01:55 AM

I have something you might like...he might even be willing to sell it but its not actually for sale. I will get some more pictures when I'm in the area, it has the run on anything engine in it but he has a diesel to put in it.

factorystock · 12-26-2015, 11:13 AM

The custom paint job on this Super Duty really stands out.

RINC · 01-22-2016, 10:05 PM

My father took this pic of a 54 fire truck from a customer of his.

I met the guy weeks later. He stopped me while leaving my yard in my 54. We got to talking about my truck and come to find out he knew me father. It's A Small World.

This little gem I see every day. I finally took the time to get pics.
