Looks like a quarry truck or bed for rock anyway. Probably their off road model for nack then. I love it. It's got styleI think I already showed this at one time, but since I showed that other dump...

**davischevy** · 03-16-2018, 11:37 AM

Cool dump trucks.

**special-K** · 03-17-2018, 08:03 AM

We could do a thread just for dump trucks. Looks like that second one is a model. That first one was built by Cat in '67

**special-K** · 03-19-2018, 07:43 AM

Or at least boots, jeans, and a button up shirt and not sweat pants, t-shirts, and jail shes

.

This black & white shows more color than a color photo of most of today's fleets

factorystock · 03-21-2018, 06:34 PM

Some more company colors! Maybe Dave Dudley meant: ain't no easy run in a Ford!

**special-K** · 03-23-2018, 09:02 AM

At least we have a few good size contractors around here that see the value in a righteous fleet paint scheme. I showed Digging & Rigging some, here is CJ Miller a roads and site development contractor. He paints most of his equipment red w/white top as well. And he uses good paint, Imron or whatever is closest these days

Found this going through CL. Never heard of a Dart Kenworth before.

I've known of Darts. I don't think I've known of them both together, or if that was all of them. They mostly did oversize trucks.

Gotta Love the Reading RR Hopper Dump...

Curbfeeler26 · 03-31-2018, 12:52 PM

And Now! for something completely different . A Northhampton Co. Civil Defense 1957 GMC 450 302 6 cyl. 5 speed w a 2 speed chaindrive winch , support truck...

*Peanutbutter* · 03-31-2018, 10:05 PM

I've been known to take pics of fords now and then like this one, got this one couple days ago here in Grand Junction Colo.

**special-K** · 03-31-2018, 07:30 AM

Neat rig. That is a heavy hauling trailer with, the spread axles, for a single rear. But I bet she took it on down the road

**davischevy** · 03-31-2018, 10:36 AM

Roberts Transportation, here in Harrison, used to run those old "Binders" all the way to the west coast. Not on a regular basis, but they did it.

The third generation is still in the old location, and has a couple of the old trucks restored.

**special-K** · 04-02-2018, 07:17 AM

Cool stuff. That Diamond T looks molested and abused. Clean little fuel truck. Ever see a Super T conversion? Heavy duty baby

We talked to the old timer who owned this fancy little T with a platter. He's got all the gee gaws and doo dads on that thing

*Peanutbutter* · 04-02-2018, 11:16 AM

I've never heard of a super T and that's a cool radiator.

KQQL IT · 04-02-2018, 12:02 PM

Like seeing the different lives these trucks have had.

And the pull trailer from this Cano truck is behind the Scaffer truck now.

GSP7 · 04-04-2018, 11:33 PM

C10 - C90 Bill · 04-04-2018, 11:46 PM

Always great to see that truck again.

Awesome pair

Curbfeeler26 · 04-23-2018, 05:25 PM

Check out this Fleet in the Northern part of the lower Peninsula of Michigan. Cool...

Greg63 · 04-23-2018, 09:09 PM

Very cool.

*Peanutbutter* · 05-07-2018, 10:25 PM

Went through Cortez Colo couple weeks ago and found a few interesting things to look at, heres the first one. Got to use the wife to show scale.
