Lots of great pics and good classifieds.

 

Oh man - that red X is MEAN looking.

 

there is a ol guy local that has 2 of them nashs drives them to local shows verry interisting pieces ... jeffrey

 

As a Power Wagon owner: great topic, wrong forum.
Still, there are similarities between a Power Wagon and a hot rod. Brute force, form follows function, no creature comforts whatsoever, etc. The translation, however is entirely different.

 

Truck You ....

 

I was sort of looking for someone who had used a Power Wagon as the base of a rod.... can a hot rod be "too big"?

In that vein.. what's the biggest "traditional-ish" hot rod anyones ever seen?

A hotrodded fire engine or something maybe?

 

There's a HAMBer on here that does crazy things with fire engines.

 

Stole this from somewhere, but it's tits!-MIKE

 

The garage across the street from my house has a big old IH wrecker they bought new in the 50s and still operate. I'll see if I can get a pic.

 

I drove past a lumber yard this weekend that had a great old 40's monster of a truck with a boom on the back. I don't know if it runs, but wouldn't it be great to haul that beast out into the willywags to pull cars?
I'll try to get a couple pics and maybe some info on it.

 

Power Wagun !!!

 

This truck was built by John Foster in Aubrey Tx. a few years back. It has changed hands a few times. Fuel injected GM and a 5 spd. if memory serves me correctly. Awsome craftsmanship, he built the bed himself and most of the boom.

My 49 on the left, 318 & np435 w/4.89 gears.

 

This monster is sitting next to a state road in northern MN. I assume it was modified for logging. I do like that big metal spear on the front end...it would get people out of your way on the highway.

 

My Friends 1946 Diamond T fire truck

heres mine

 

Here is mine. I cheated, its mounted on an 80 Dodge 4x4 chassis. Its my winter driver, and yes, it does plow the driveway. Gene

 

Well, an ON topic truck that I have always thought looked mean are tri-5 Chevies. Lifted or lowered they have that badass attitude

 

Somewhere Clark Griswald is looking for the Family Truckster!!

 

I dig those Nash Quads, or Jeffrey's, for that matter. I also like Power Wagons. I have an F3 Marmon Herrington Ford All Wheel Drive that will be restored one day.

 

You beat me to the punch line.

 

how e roll in my hood

 

Is that a 39-39 Ford?

 

yep

 

I wonder if the builder used a WWII Dodge 1.5 ton 6X6 chassis?

 

My Canadian 1959 GMC 9380 1 ton dually, which I built in 1989/90.
Powered by a stroked 409. Otherwise, stock truck, with 4.10 gears replacing the 5.14's.
Wheels are original 18", chromed in and out.
I desgned and built the car trailer in 1992.

 

And, my 1968 Hayes Clipper.
250 Cummins, 13 speed

 

My dads first diesel hot rods...

 

This one's on display at a car museum going into OC MD. Needs some air.
