Vintage Work Trucks

Unfortunately that was an ongoing problem/worry. Before the advent of "Headache Racks", which i doubt would be substantial protection in a situation like that! Hate to see a man lose his life in the course of making a living!

 

Almost looks like that truck had one, I doubt a bulkhead and a rack would stop those logs...................................

 

Another "overworked" truck. Work travels took me to Virginia this week. I spotted this along the scenic route back to the hotel from my jobsite in Catlett, VA. There was a private property sign on the tree next to this truck, so I just took a couple zoomed in shots from the roadside. I enjoyed the Virginia sunshine today! Tomorrow I'll be returning to rain in western Pennsylvania.

 

Can someone help identify my new tow rig?

 

Looks like a Connecticut State Trooper.

 

Looks like a WW2 era GMC CCKW truck.

 

I made a mistake. This is NOT a Gmc 353 CCKW Wrecker it is an International M-5-6
Thanks vor

With the little exhaust stack pipe that must have been a 3-71 Detroit.

 

Autocar U90

 

I think that's a chimney at the factory behind the truck.

 

I think you are correct.

 

Yes, it threw me for a minute too.

 

I'm not really a Ford guy, but I sure love a good old cabover.

 

i*d like one from the lower deck

 

Look at the bald tires. Same then as it is now!
