I have always had a strange fascination for shop trucks. maybe because they are cool as can be but still ready to work.

 

That old wrecker reminds me of a faded red and white 57 my dad had and used in our little yard we had in about 1980 or so.

Yep, this 40 is very cool!

 

I don't own a shop, but this is my '40 1/2 ton stake truck. It started life on a Dr's "hobby farm", southwest of St Louis. Still has remnants of one of the "city stickers" in the windshield. My aunt and uncle bought it in the '70s, and I took possession of it in 2012.

It doesn't sit low, but it's got a heck of a rake.

This shot is after doing some fence post replacement, in the back yard, and hauling off the cement chunks.

 

Wow, somehow "endlessearth" has missed this thread! Here is his that I just went through and did an engine and Tremec 5speed for...

 

There's some great looking bits of kit here, too many to mention, but the one in the background of Feo's post looks a lot like it the same model as mine

You decide:

 

'40 Chev in my avatar has been my shop truck for 17yrs now , always very reliable , I love it

 

I don't have time to put this one back on the road and its for sale. F4 dually for $650.

 

Here's a shop truck that was at our local cruise-in in NW Ohio on July 11, 2014.
