Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Yeah, I guess the old East Coast is pretty different. When we would run over 13-6, we had to drive it very different. We had to dodge the Light Signals (swing out to the right or left so as not to drive right under them). The worst part was having people look at us a little strange, lol.
Another time I was riding shotgun with about a 13-6, 13-7 load and the driver quickly noticed the wires dancing. I had to get out and climb up on the load (Lumber) and hold the wires while he slowly drove away from them. I knew they were only Phone Wires though as the Electric Wires are higher. I used to haul a full 3 units high on a flatbed and cross an old early 1900's bridge with a toll booth tunnel at the end of it. I think I cleared it by an inch or two. The Chains were another 1 Inch thick and I would wait for them to scrape the ceiling, but they never did. Also anything 4 Ft or longer over the back end required a flag, which is still the norm today. The good 'ol days, lol.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
KQQL IT that trailer is close to the ground. Have you ever been high centered? If not, your a better man than me.
About a month ago I loaded an excavator, and told the guy there "I will have to swing out wide to the left to keep from high centering." I jumped in the truck, went brain dead, and did exactly the opposite of what I intended. It took us about and hour to get it off that hump. I shave the top off of high places on a regular basis. Did it today.

My 1st week I did, haven't since. The stinger trailers act differently than a semi it turns and goes thru driveways pretty good. When the stinger touches down at 65 the sparks are kinda cool.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Here is a picture I found and thought I would share.
A GMC with a load of fresh Buicks. Those 1960 LeSabre's are just too cool.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Saw this Brigadier parked a ways out of of town, never have seen a Brigadier Rig before. I'll get better pictures next time I'm out there(next couple of weeks), but I'm pretty limited by perimeter fence.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Sure do wish we had this one back. It's a '47 GMC I think (maybe someone could help with that). I remember riding in the back in a foldout chair. Thought it was cool when I was 8 ... and still do. Just wish we still had it.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Race-----Your hauler has the appearance of a '54/ early 55 GMC, possibly a 300 or 350 series. Push button door handles and wing vent windows put it newer than '52 , as well .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Thanks JunkMan ... I've googled some of these old trucks, but haven't been able to narrow down the year.
