The truck show was at Carlisle last weekend, so some new pictures to add

**special-K** · 08-08-2022, 03:44 PM

Nice collection

This guy never came off the trailer

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-10-2022, 09:03 AM

Nice. I was hoping some showed up, lol.

**special-K** · 08-11-2022, 06:40 AM

I think just that one. It's mostly later trucks up there. I didn't get to walk all the way through them all. They said it was a record number of show trucks this year. It was a lot!

Sweet little corn binder.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...nal-d-300-coe/

This 1940 International Harvester D-300 is a 1-1/2 ton cab-over-engine model that is powered by a 233ci inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The body is finished in green with black fenders and features a replacement bed with a wood floor and side stakes, a tilt-out windshield, a dually rear axle, and body-color steel wheels. The truck was acquired by the seller approximately five years ago, and work in preparation for the sale is said to have included an oil change, a carburetor rebuild, and replacement of the spark plugs and fuel filter.

**special-K** · 09-16-2022, 09:11 AM

Neat little truck. A handy size to have.

Nice early Mack

66 years ago. Reading Transportation Company International Tractor with open tandem trailer L33-OT-10. RDG Company photo. November 8, 1956. From my collection, Hampden Blvd and Marion Streets, Reading, Pa.

Last load before 9 days off the big road.

Rear Disc brake swap on the 68
Get our K5 to roller status
Possibly get the axle seal in the 73 fixed, sat since September

factorystock · 11-18-2022, 08:38 PM

Still looks modern in my book! Narrow nose tilt front end would make this logger a 358, not a butterfly 351.

**NewBayColony** · 11-18-2022, 09:30 PM

Nice unit. I drove one for 30 years. Some days I even miss it.

**special-K** · 11-25-2022, 09:16 AM

Great series! Brings back memories of my time living in Humboldt County in the mid-70s. Redwood haulers were still carrying single log loads. Bark laying along the side of the road and piggybacks heading back

You never see these anymore

Still better than thru a shredder

**special-K** · 12-21-2022, 07:20 AM

True. Saved in that way, if it was in that bad of condition. It just seems all the old cabovers are going down this road. It's nice to see one still useful

**special-K** · 12-26-2022, 10:32 AM

I miss all the fleet paint jobs. Estes Express Lines, out of Richmond, VA still run their traditional livery, yellow, black fenders, red chassis and wheels. If the modern trucks still did the paint jobs we could at least enjoy seeing the paint

factorystock · 12-26-2022, 01:17 PM

I agree, the fleet paint job was very important PR one time.

**special-K** · 12-27-2022, 10:21 PM

This outfit, A. Duie Pyle out of Westchester, PA still has their paint scheme.

**special-K** · 01-10-2023, 10:07 AM

Very nice heavy '56 Ford. Appears to have period 22.5's.

factorystock · 02-09-2023, 12:30 PM

I miss these boxy cabovers of the 60's. With inflation, approx $950M since this was written. A downward spiral since 1979, not just in trucks........................................
