Tim ,what is that last one ?

**special-K** · 01-17-2018, 08:34 AM

I was afraid someone would ask

. Not sure where or when I found that picture. I believe it is a White and probably built for oil expedition on the tundra or desert

**davischevy** · 01-17-2018, 12:48 PM

May be a Kenworth 953?

**oldiron** · 01-18-2018, 05:51 AM

Here is a collection of trucks I have seen over the past couple of years on the West coast.

You're right. Now that you said that I can see that's Kenworth on the hood. I never paid attention to that model number and seen these so infrequent (pictures) I never realized they were a production model/series of their own.

That was a great way to spend a little over 7 minutes. Thanks. "Strictly Commercial", that's what I had lettered on the tailgate of the '70 C/30 utility bed and that's what you showed in your video. Commercial vehicles are cool, new and old (but mostly old), when they can get something done and look good doing it.

Of all the hundreds of trucks I saw, there was one that stood out from all the rest. It was a white '68 C/30 stake body dump. Did anyone else notice that one?

This one? I can't remember who owns that one.

Curbfeeler26 · 02-06-2018, 02:44 PM

How about a couple of pics for "Cocktail Hour" ...

**special-K** · 01-19-2018, 11:32 PM

That's the one

cam.man67 · 01-29-2018, 09:12 PM

A couple from around the world:

Here's a beefy one stateside:

**special-K** · 01-31-2018, 08:01 AM

That is an odd configuration on that Hino with dual steer axles and single rear. The driver must out weigh the cargo

I have that Dodge picture somewhere. What the heck is that thing mixing and where does it need to go?? I doubt it's concrete because the mixer looks standard size to me, so not hauling any more weight than your every day mixers. Might have to do with the terrain it's used on. Very interesting anyway. It appears to have a Detroit V series by the dual stacks

Cool little yard engine. I wonder how much weight they have on that thing. Lots I'm sure

flashed · 02-01-2018, 08:05 AM

Those are some cool trucks .

*Peanutbutter* · 02-02-2018, 01:18 AM

I really like this one.

**special-K** · 02-03-2018, 06:25 PM

That's a big me too.

**special-K** · 02-07-2018, 08:59 AM

Heck yes. It's 7:46am, let's get started!

That streamline era brought about some wild beer trucks. They knew the value a truck played in brand recognition and advertising. A far cry from the mass of white rigs on the road today. Although beer trucks are one place you still see a good paint scheme all lettered up.

I think this Diamond T is a beautiful truck.

Curbfeeler26 · 02-07-2018, 10:51 AM

That Diamond T is a gem. My Grandfather worked for Diamond T back in the 50s. It was in the mailroom. But it still was probably a cool job.

Curbfeeler26 · 02-07-2018, 10:57 AM

One more post with a Diamond T in it...

Curbfeeler26 · 02-07-2018, 10:59 AM

And the Pic

Here is a 1938 Seagrave on display in Nebraska City, NE. A very cool truck, I love the Spaceship siren on the drivers side.
