Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Nice custom truck! I saw this really nicely done custom KW at the ATHS Tri-State Show in VA last weekend

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
You and me both!
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

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

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Picked up some Gravely's and a David Bradley Friday with the '61. Not much a load for the truck, but an enjoyable trip none the less!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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
Check out this Chevy using the smaller Verawhatever cab or how about this fusion of Advance Design and Task Master? Here is the one I was thinking of

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

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
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!
