Re: Vintage picture thread
Damn, I can imagine this truck as being red or a lighter blue. The lighter blue/white I'd like my truck painted but don't dare.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Those Futurliners are pretty neat. I saw one of them up at Carlisle a couple of years back.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Sort of like Steve Hafner's blue (in his pic up thread) but a different shade, and of course it'd have white sides my truck has now. Why not? Because it'd be extra work I'm not sure I want to undergo. And I can't say I've actually seen those colors on my year before (not that it matters, other than not having seen it). One of the major truck websites had the color + some white on an older/different truck on their main page but I can't find the site now.

Re: Vintage picture thread
. . . .
The blue in the picture below of my floor is the original color ( original RUST HOLE too !!! ) The exterior of mine ( when it WAS blue ) was a shade of blue that came on an International truck ( I don't know what year or even if it was on a pick-up or BIGGER truck. ) The original color was: Medium Blue Poly, code 501. . . . .

Re: Vintage picture thread
Thanks for the info/pics Steve. Wow, your wood bed (thread) turned out great! The process of mine is running through my head now - contemplating what I need to buy and how long it'll take to get it going.

Re: Vintage picture thread
We still have some those older buildings downtown with the white lettering (faded) on the sides of brick buildings. Of course they've been stripped (inside since) and converted to apartments of flats.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Post #164. That's the first time I've seen a dirt factory floor. Was that normal back then?

Re: Vintage picture thread
Bottom right corner of that pic, you can see the 2 wheeler (handle) that someone rolled around before the photo shoot. See the wheel marks in the center leading up to the camera.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Wasn't there one of the futurliners at a BJ auction a year or so back that brought over a million?
