Lets see some BIG trucks (pic heavy)

That is one hell of a nice looking rig. What chassis, or axles are you using, drivetrain?

 

my 1956 GMC LCF car hauler.

 

Here are a few. One has a 360 Y block in it. Another has a Hall-Scott 935 c.i.
inline six in it. All are still on the roasd.

Now that is an interesting front end! I have never seem a truck like this before, looks very cool. I would hate to have this truck tail-gating me!

 

I have no idea how old or what these are off of, but I just bought 5 of these hubcaps. They measure about 20" across. Thick aluminum. They must be off a big truck. Missing parts I think.

I want a big truck some day.

 

41 Ford COE Wrecker and 56 F750 Ramp truck

 

Motorhome maybe?

 

Here is my 1952 Reo E-20 after painting the bumper and front wheels.



While fixing the front brakes. Before painting wheels and bumpers.

 

Well I guess I will share my true addiction to old trucks. (Especially wreckers) I have some how gotten quite a collection going.
Thanks

I've always liked Reo trucks. Our town fire department's first truck was a 1948 Reo with a Howe body. It was immaculately restored but now the current members let it go down hill, I don't even think it runs and quite a few of the knobs were stolen last time I saw it.

 

COE's i've owned through the years.

 

LCF's, i've owned through the years.

 

My 59' Chevy Spartan 100 with a 348. Got it for $175

 

. This is my moneymaker!!!!!

 

Added a few more to the fleet since the last time I posted in this thread. the 53 ford COE MH is my current parade/grocery getter truck until I finish the 52 F-6
the 52 COE another future project. ( I seem to have a lot of those... )

 

Love the old big trucks.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

That is awesome......do you have a build thread?

 

Here's a similar thread on the sister site!

I'm into the Big Trucks too. This 1941 Chevy truck was a 1 1/2 ton truck. It was used to haul fire wood in it's last job, according to the guy I purchased it from in Spokane.
Long story short, a friend of mine wrecked a 1993 Isuzu trooper and gave me what was left, (I drove it up on the trailer and brought it home) . Dismantled both trucks, married the Chevy Cab to the Isuzu frame, dropped
a great running 350 small block between the frame rails and used a TH350 for a transmisson. Decided to install a third axle to make it a low riding 6 wheeler. It turned out to be a great driver, and it's tons of fun.

 

Thanks, I'm glad you like my truck.No, I don't have a build thread yet, I think my slow pace will bore everyone to death. Hoping to start up at a faster pace in the spring, and if that happens I may start a thread on it. I have enjoyed and been inspired by many of the build threads on the Hamb

Like this? Pictured at a tractor pull in central Minnesota a few years ago.

 

I had this huge horse trailer in for repairs the other day and decided to back the 6 wheeler under it for some photo ops. Looks are deceiving.

 

my 1952 Diamond T with a home made sleeper made out of a dismantled 1954 Spartan travel trailer


its still a work in progress ... but that doesnt stop me from driving; i already put 7000 miles on that old girl

 

Some pictures of a 1918 International that I took this past weekend..

 

Hi MP&C.I take it that those petcocks on the engine head are for priming the cylinders?
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

This is really cool! Do you have any more shots of the sleeper?
