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

Love those flat tops!

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

**JPBrecheisen** · 10-22-2021, 01:57 PM

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.

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!

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.

**special-K** · 12-10-2021, 10:12 AM

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

**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.

**special-K** · 01-01-2022, 08:25 AM

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.

**special-K** · 02-23-2022, 08:35 AM

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!

**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!
