This one has suicide doors, and the fenders are shaped at the edges.

Yeah, look at those differences. I see the suicide door would help with entry. I know many COEs would come on lighter/heavier chassis/suspension. with a low entry version available

Wow, that is a neat little dumper. Pretty rare I'd assume, COE Autocar, 4wd?, Holy shoot!

KQQL IT · 11-24-2016, 03:59 AM

Another one of my ride #600

KQQL IT · 11-30-2016, 02:22 AM

Wasn't where I wanted to be, but at least some eye candy waiting for Peterbilt in SLC to fix 600

**special-K** · 12-01-2016, 09:23 AM

Nice parts gitter

68panelman · 12-02-2016, 07:44 PM

Old Mack in my area, looked to have been sitting for quite a while.

68panelman · 12-02-2016, 07:53 PM

Not sure if I showed this already,.. poor fella.

**special-K** · 12-02-2016, 10:41 PM

The sleeper cab is kind of unusual for a Mack L model. The truck looks very restorable.

That Chevy C/60 has the '67 type inside door handle. Looks like mother nature took a bite out of the door opening in the top

68panelman · 12-02-2016, 11:04 PM

Yeah the Mack is very restorable, it was at a trailer dealership, maybe one of their original puller trucks?. Cab does seem strange,ugly and cool all at once.
That C-60 has a nice hydraulic bed with a wheel lift, couldn't get close enough to see an engine, assuming was a 366, the roof was removed at some point, guessing for the marker pods, this was in June, and snakes were on the move, pulled five ticks from my beltline later that evening cause of the tall grass

68panelman · 12-02-2016, 11:27 PM

Here's a old beast from the Bronx, Old time heavy haulage company Gerosa. I think they special ordered these monsters

KQQL IT · 12-09-2016, 11:39 PM

Couple from last week

**special-K** · 12-11-2016, 07:16 PM

Here's a car carrier for you, White Freightliner "Mountaineer"

**special-K** · 12-16-2016, 09:38 AM

A couple more Mountaineers! And a ?? I need to blow it up to tell

KQQL IT · 12-16-2016, 12:24 PM

Rear mounted radiator.

KQQL IT · 12-16-2016, 12:29 PM

Look at the grille, you can see the balancer

**special-K** · 12-16-2016, 08:11 PM

That's right. I was reading about these and that's what they did. To fit the drive assembly up front they had to reverse the oil pan and move the engine forward requiring that special radiator location. They didn't want to gain length in front of the 5th wheel. Consolidated tried about every way to get the most out of a truck, didn't they?

Thats really cool.

Average Joe · 12-16-2016, 10:07 PM

Great pics Tim and KQQL IT!

I have never seen or heard of the power dolly. I may have to read up on that.

**special-K** · 12-19-2016, 09:35 AM

KQQL IT keeps these threads rolling. I do a little now and then.

I never knew about those units either. I did read up on them...interesting. You should look them up.

A Reo and some Fwds:

68panelman · 12-19-2016, 09:41 AM

Love that REO. Did the FWD's use a Dodge or Ford cab?

**special-K** · 12-19-2016, 04:46 PM

Dodge. I think they used International some years or models

68panelman · 12-19-2016, 05:32 PM

Thanks Tim, now I visualize that cab on a Dodge power giant. Thinking later 58-6? Ford cab might of been used there. Wow, I forget they used that Dodge cab a long time

**special-K** · 12-20-2016, 11:54 AM

It's the came cab Dodge used in the Bighorns and other big trucks many years beyond '60, the last light truck year for that cab

**special-K** · 12-21-2016, 12:27 AM

Here's a good example
