Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Hey Jeff, welcome to the site. I agree they symbolize all those things. Some say they are purpose built and full of function and look pretty good. All that is true, but I say they are B E A Utiful and pretty darn functional as well...heh heh. I also like(d) how they hang onto their good looks rather than getting constant superficial style changes, like cars. Cars are built for consumers and trucks mean business. Now light trucks are right in their with cars for being marketed to the same people, although they still have more function (I mean as trucks, not wi-fi centers, navigation devices, heated seats, etc)

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
This truck belongs to a friend of mine, Dave (Beerman) Brewer who operates Heavy Traffic Trucking. He hauls classic cars. I believe it's a 1970 Pete. Beautiful truck. Hard to believe the truck started life as a dump truck.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Very nice. A classy custom job for sure. Is the one next to it his, too?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
No that looks like another one of the classic car hauler guys named Kevin. I havent seen his truck but a couple of times so I don't know the details. There's a few of the independents that run around together, there's another old orange truck that is outstanding as well.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Truck driver's dream. Truck outfitted to his liking, independent, yet hooked up with steady loads of cargo that unloads itself (with help from driver). It's cool how he added all those louvers, yet subdued them in the white stripes. One of those trucks that gets better the longer you look at it.
I know a guy that hauls produce and cheese in a customized W900L...all purple. It's not as old, I think a '99, but it looks great, works steady, and has something like 4.2 million miles on it. Been through an attempted suicide by truck incident as well where a guy in a pickup drove head-on into him

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
If I did it was when I was a kid. My buddy has that '58 Reo. It would be cool if I could get one of these. Not too many around, though, I am sure. Reo was quite a company. They did some cool stuff like made lawn mowers.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
This 61 Mack is for sale in Joplin, MO for $7,500. I guess I got this thread confused with "Post Your CL finds".

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
It does look to be in decent shape. I like the look of those. Only thing I don't like is the cab doesn't tilt. Wouldn't like working on one.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I believe I've seen that at Macungie and maybe the ATHS National Show in '15, and it is a true gem.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That sure is a sharp pusher.
How about a chopped and dropped Ford toy?
