Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I've got to get out there! I saw that Walker electric truck in the background and wondered if it was one. Never seen that style but am aware of the early commercial electric vehicles.
And I didn't realize that KW offset cab picture I showed was from Iowa 80. there are a couple good museums close enough to here that I visit. Keystone tractor & Truck Museum in Colonial Heights, VA is one. He has quite a collection and it's growing. Divided between trucks and tractors. He has a huge tractor collection. Rare stuff www.keystonetractorworks.com Then there is Boyertown Museum in PA. it's located in the old Boyertown Bodyworks plant. It's cars and trucks, with the theme of Pennsylvania-based auto companies. There are out of staters, too, but I was impressed with how many cars companies were out of PA. www.boyertownmuseum.org

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
This is the last of the pictures I took at the Iowa 80 museum. I posted the GM trucks in the other thread.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Thanks for all the effort to show the pictures and, of coarse, for taking them all.
This truck here just may be the best. We look at these old yet perfectly restored trucks and get to see how they actually looked when they were the current truck and how things got moved in that time period. Just think, this was the best you could do and a huge improvement over what came before. We see trucks lacking what our trucks have today. But dang! Think about just the horsepower and brakes. Going and stopping were challenges. Even beyond that, this was before we even had pneumatic tires for heavy trucks. Yeah, basically they didn't even have tires (as we know them) yet! then look at the lighting, kerosene lamps! Before heading out or when you hit a bank of fog you had to go around and light all the lanterns. and that is only after you made sure to keep them all full of fuel. I dunno, I just am nuts about old trucks, rolling history. Not just how we got around back then, like with cars. Think of all the other products and services of the time and these are the trucks that moved the nation, made it what it is. I also want to say how disappointed in myself I am for not going up to Macungie Fathers Day weekend. No pictures to share and I really lost out on a highpoint of my year. This is just the kind of stuff I missed seeing, so thanks again for a great substitute

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
You are welcome.
The last set of pictures was my favorite truck too. It is neat to see how the trucks progressed in time.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
It sure is. That Cat is really cool. I saw a similar one at Macungie last year. It was being hauled behind an old but newer Mack dump truck on a dolly trailer. I watched the guy start the Cat. If you don't know how they do it, you insert a long bar into a hole you can see in the flywheel. It took a lot of effort. I can't imagine starting in wintertime

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Very nice.
I have seen some of the old Cats being started with the long bar. Some of the Thresheree (old tractor show) have a giant sand box for the old construction equipment to play in.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Neat stuff. I've been wanting to get into the antique construction equipment club action, as well as farm tractor shows. Both have them put to work. I know some antique truck club guys who are more about the equipment and the old truck is just to have a hauler that fits the outfit.
My old friend who I go to these shows with has a diesel White dump truck like that, Cummins NA. I forget the size. It just sits and he has offered it to me for $2,000. I could swing that and it's actually pretty nice with good rubber. Well, once all the tree dropping are washed away. The problem is the other money it would take and what has always been a problem that has kept me from big truck ownership. Where do I put her? I'm not sure I want another mouth to feed at this point in life

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Tim, I've got a little put aside for that 9500 Single Axle I'm looking for. But it just won't show up, lol. Not locally anyway. Now that would get me to the truck shows for sure, lol.
