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

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.

Gotta Love the Reading RR Hopper Dump...

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.

I feel so bad for this Diamond T, its like it was a living thing and deserves better than this. Guess I'll try to get more info on it, its 500 miles away.

[special-K]

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]

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

Like seeing the different lives these trucks have had.

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

A Chevy in this year and weight range must be super low production. Air and Buds are always a big plus in my book!

Awesome pair

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

[Greg63]

Very cool.

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.

That's a big oaf...of a truck for sure.

Cool to see an old Dodge semi.

I go by this Acar couple times a year, hasn't turned a wheel in 25 to 30 years. If I couldn't have the truck I'd like to have the trailer to restore back to Coors lettering. I remember when I was a little kid there would be 6 or 8 of these trailers being pulled with narrow nose petes go past our house every day headed for LA, a never ending stream of them day and night. I would stand there starring at them until they were out of site.

[Peanutbutter]

A few more.

[special-K]

That thing is all set up. Have you ever looked into what they want for it? That sure is a fine trailer with it.

I need to get a picture of the Autocar sleeper cab wrecker at the local junkyard/towing shop. They ran it for years. I've heard it's got a good bit of rust. But hey, that's restoration! The owner died in the past year or more and now his wife has gone with him. The son is lazy and never much good...if I were to pass judgement . I have been wondering what will happen to this icon...truck as well as the junk yard amd tow company I have always relied on
