Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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?
How about those power dollies? That could get hairy

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Now when I say "Trucks are beautiful" I'm not just talking about shiny dolled up rigs. I'm talking Trucks. They are beautiful, no matter how ragged, beat, or worn out.
Just look at the added style this A100 cab gained being a heavy truck ![]()
