Nice cannonball

Goodness, What a thread full of "eye candy". Covers many bases of the loads they haul, too. Nice!

Flyboy... Verify the Allison on that watermelon hauler . If it the medium duty MT 643, it's bulletproof. If it's the smallest AT 545. they've gotten cheap for used units........should be able to get one for 250-300 bucks .

Cheap truck at that price !

Don't you hate an over restored truck? Yeah, me too. YUCK!...........()

junkmandan3,

I bought the Champion bus for $1100. It has the 3116 Cat in it. I don't know about the trans yet but I do know the engine and transmission run out great. Shifts feel good and no even a wisp of smoke when you do a full power takeoff. First diesel I have ever owned that I could not get to blow at least some smoke. I followed it home in my Cummins powered Dodge 3500 and never even smelled it. It is turned down real lean I guess. The odometer shows 310K miles. It sure runs out great for that kind of miles. I will get a flashlight and find tags to see what it has. The guy I bought it from knew just about nothing about. No paper work at all. Here is a better picture except I am in it to spoil the view. The tire standing beside it was to try to see what it would look like if I shortened the wheel base. I think I will leave it alone. Air bags on the rear are nice.

congrats , seems like a verry comfortable rig too to get in and out of , no high steps to get in the cab flat floor you can stand up inside too
if they put in good seat it prolly be more comfortale and roomie to drive than a regulair truck

still think it used to be some sort of bus in its former life

watahyahknow,
You are exactly right. In its former life it was a 15 passenger bus. Guy I bought it from cut it off as the way you see it and hauled watermelons and palm trees in it.

Not mine. Looks really cool.

My 59' Spartan 100, 348, 2 speed rear, full air brakes. Anyone have any more info on these? I could never really find out anything on them.

[Oldflyboy]

Beautiful truck. WOW Your post made my day. I looked at an old Reo yesterday. Here in north Florida it is so humid it rusts under a shed. The Reo was just rusted away. The 348 was a fine engine in it's day.

[truckfan]

not exactly a "semi" but a cool old 1-ton. broke the bank IMHO

Nice truck, but I can't believe the price it went for.

It sure did "break the bank".

No one likes these Heavy semis.

[special-K]

That's a long one. I like them. They do look odd in front of a van body.

I wish I had my camera. I was on I-70 and there as this straight log truck ahead of me gettin' right on up the road with some big trunks for around here. Turned out to be a General. It was in nice condition. He was steady rolling in the left lane. I got along side him and it was quiet.

[special-K]

Here's a picture of something*, anyway. That'll haul a lot of crackers!!:

* already shown??
