I knew it was a big time show winner but didn't know it was George Barris that painted it...or forgot in 40 or more years. Thanks for more pictures

I don't have the picture on my computer, but I think it's the one used for the album in the centerfold. It shows looking at it from the front and down the driver side (could be my picture is cropped) showing the loaded trailer behind. Quite a beautiful sight. I'm just realizing this truck would have been my introduction to cool west coast big rigs and especially to trucks/trailer combos and those being hay haulers. I never went to California till '76 and I had this album before that. If there were any big rig magazines back then I never saw one. Overdrive existed back that far, I think

KQQL IT · 01-02-2017, 08:38 PM

I grabbed all the pics I could find in the hayhauler page.

KQQL IT · 01-02-2017, 08:48 PM

Found it, instagram nab

Average Joe · 01-02-2017, 10:27 PM

Thanks for the cool pics KQQl IT. My Dad used to "boom" load hay trucks in the late 60's. He and my mom were living in Woodland CA but he would travel all over the area to load for Toby's Trucking. He said he would work at night during the summer months because of the heat.

**special-K** · 01-03-2017, 09:02 AM

Yeah, thanks for those! Is that RJ holding the album? That was a fine rig. Is it lng gone or did he hang on to it, I wonder

KQQL IT · 01-04-2017, 01:10 AM

Never heard if it's still around.

**special-K** · 01-04-2017, 09:51 AM

Probably long gone. Now I'm on a cabover kick.

Another iconic KW:

Those are pretty cool trucks, but I would not want to drive one in downtown NY City, lol.

**special-K** · 02-02-2017, 09:32 AM

I wouldn't want to ride a taxi in NYC!

Yep, the Mack was restored just a couple yeas ago, '15 I think. How about a moving picture about it

Freightliners

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-13-2017, 12:40 AM

Interesting pictures.

That first one sure is nice.

**special-K** · 02-19-2017, 10:09 AM

Isn't it? I'd own it.

Did I show this thing?

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-19-2017, 01:42 PM

Imagine checking the Tire Pressure on each one before the day started?

Of course we would just hit them with a bar.

I agree. The second one is nice but looks like crap from behind.

Imagine that...36 wheeler! It would create a tire shortage if it got all new rubber at once. Probably take two days to air them all up

flashed · 02-21-2017, 10:47 AM

Is that Dump an Autocar ,cant tell from the pic but I like it .

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-21-2017, 11:16 AM

I believe it's a Mack.

flashed · 02-21-2017, 01:07 PM

It does kind of look like a Mack ,never seen one like it .

**special-K** · 02-22-2017, 12:49 AM

That's a big/heavy one. Probably got a Mack V8. Look how wide the hood is. Somebody put quad square headlights in, that throws it off.
