Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I used to drive my un restored 54 past this sign in LV from 69-73, Company was later changed to YESCO and a competitor to my Dads employer Federal Sign and signal. Yesco did the "howdy partner" and many other icons. The sign and many others are in a LV museum.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Here is a picture of my truck actually working. My wife's grandfather was the previous owner. I purchased it from him in 1988.

looks more like he's refining the edge of a mold die.
you wouldn't use a milling machine for trimming a sheet metal panel he's using a huge mill to boot

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
My 54 was a flight line truck from 54-64 and prolly towed a few light planes. Saw a flight line safety film (yes real reel film" showing how to safety tow planes. In it an AD looking truck towed a t33 into a telephone pole damaging the wing. Around late 1969 i saw a dodge PU truck do the exact same thing cause the tow motors were all in use and they wanted the t33 off the parking pad to make room for an F-111.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I guess, by today's Chevy standards that tow vehicle would be called a double cab. Haha.
