Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Just picked up this medium heavy hauler, 2009 c7500, 7.8l inline 6 Isuzu diesel, Allison 3000 5 speed, 12' gooseneck bed, only 28,000 miles.
Was a back up water truck for Monsanto down in Texas near the border. The seats look like they've never been sat on.

Just completed all the maintenance and had to bust out the Sawzall on that stack

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

That GMC is a really nice unit. Great find! I've always like those Internationals. I don't think I've ever seen those body panels on one before. Both trucks are stand outs.

something about a Diamond-T

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful



I talked to the owner of this neat little rig in Topeka last weekend. He bought it new in 73 and put 3 million miles on it. He sold it to a guy who did this conversion on it. I think the guy hauled a race boat with it. He bought it back and tows his Stock Eliminator pickup with it. I can't remember what it's powered with now but we were talking about tire speed ratings. He said (Speed ratings? I've been 125mph in this one).

That's a lot to take in a single viewing. I'd be happy with any one of those.

We had our ATHS chapter annual show yesterday. First one since we moved it from rain-out April. Great weather at least for this year. Pretty good turn out. I may have shown Bill Mason's IH cabover in other show pictures but I've never highlighted it. Bill operates a heavy haul business out of Baltimore, he likes IH and he likes their traditional green with Omaha orange. He said last week they did a 160,000# and a 200,000# haul. I don't think he works this one but I think he used to, then restored it. Check it out. He built it to be able to change-out the back half. Crazy set-up

I've been wanting to make it to that truck show for a few years now. Hopefully will catch it one of these days.

The photo of this IH Special K posted is reproduced in 1/43 diecast by ixo. They have a nice line of other trucks too. Really like the early 60's Pete logger.

That's the KW I was complimenting a few pages back. That is a cool truck for sure. The bumper looks like it was contoured from the grille to the fenders.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

I guess I showed it already. Shows I like it a lot! I was wondering if they found just the right later bumper or if that was a made to fit one
