You Tube

**special-K** · 12-25-2021, 11:14 PM

I just had that come up on YouTube today but hadn't watched it yet. Rare tri-drive, wow! I'm going to watch your video now and see what that's all about. mighty fine big B

Ok, watched it. It's a mighty fine truck. I'm disappointed there was no narration. I was hoping to learn something about this truck or watch it move, not just look at it sit and idle. Thanks for posting.

These '56 cabs got an extended production run up to '62 when built in South America. I believe they used Perkins diesels also, something the American built Fords never offered.

That's cool to learn. Handsome truck right there. I like seeing US Brands in other countries and the differences they had. Whether the same bodies or ones never offered here. I guess these belong in the GM thread, but they fit the current topic that ford led my to

Going through some pics, found these I took at Werner. The stretched 379 with the V-12 Cat is beautiful!

When I searched for their old truck pictures I also didn't see a picture I used to have of one of their GMC Cannonballs with the old red & Cream paint scheme.

I did find this picture, though. Kinda purdy ain't it?

**HO455** · 03-29-2022, 05:38 PM

I rolled through the lobby at Jubitz and spied this beauty.

**special-K** · 03-28-2022, 06:53 AM

Now that's a big Cat! I always appreciated seeing the blue Werner trucks. I learned after seeing them many years that the company goes back a long way to at least the GMC Cannonball days. And the paint was red!

**special-K** · 03-30-2022, 10:42 AM

Wow, a nice 1945! Great attention to custom detail. Twin stick 220 Cummins

That's a Fageol. Very good reputation. Fageol's west coast operations were based in Oakland, and they went out of business in the late 30's. A man named Al Peterman bought the factory and the rights and reintroduced the trucks under his own name. Called them Peterbilts.......

I wonder myself. I found the picture but don't know where

C10 - C90 Bill · 04-25-2022, 07:19 PM

Never cared for a Dodge, but that first one is impressive.

I do like the pre-'48's though.

**CarolinaHD** · 04-25-2022, 07:21 PM

Sheeesh thought this was the "Trucks Are Beautiful" thread... those Dodges have a face not even a mother could love.

I remember this coming up in another thread and it was a South America only deal. Dodge 6500
