So, just like the motor/engine thing. Let’s have out the truck/pickup thing.😂😡 So I guess this is a pickup TRUCK 🤣 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Andrews Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I brought this back from the dead, twenty five years ago; and like all old vehicles it has many stories it could tell. One picture is in its' original appearance for AACA shows, and the other is with the extra set of whitewalls for fun, I also have trim rings but are not on in this picture. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course most like seeing photos of cars parked on grass, or with a green background filled with trees. In the case of a GREEN car, a contrasting background is more appropriate to highlight the car, be it asphalt pavement, crushed red shale, flagstone, etc., to park it on with a nice building made of brick or sandstone behind it. (The '25 Reo photo at the top of the page is an excellent example.) Or even the Grand Canyon and/or other natural formations that don't produce any foliage.

Can't decide whether I prefer the workaday version or the dressed-up. Either way, it's a sweet little truck - I really like the grille on the 38.

Guest Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 In a nutshell, I'm wondering if this group only applies to old autos, or if old commercial vehicles fit as well. I always had an eye for older trucks from the 40s to 80s (think Class 7/8), but didn't know if that would fit with this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Welcome ! Old trucks, commercial vehicles of all types, and especially (at least to me) fire trucks and fire engines are certainly welcome. Folks with vintage trucks also drive our tours. For many years we drove, paraded, and even toured all over Louisiana in our 1951 Ford F-6, with fire apparatus built in Ohio by Boardman. I carried 500 gallons, could pump 500 GPM at 250 PSI - or 250 GPM at 500 PSI, draft from either side, and had a High Pressure Fog unit mounted on the tailboard. The 2-speed differential meant that she could run at highway speeds, or in Low-Range and Granny Gear she could walk through a Mardi Gras Parade while I got out and walked alongside (i did!). Ours was delivered new to the Monsanto Chemical Plant in Luling, Louisiana, and remained in service there on site until 1966 when it was donated to the volunteer company in St. Rose, LA. In 1978 the pumper was gifted to the volunteer company in Bayou Gauche, LA. I got it in 1988, drove it years later in the New Orleans Fire Department's 100th Anniversary Parade and Muster, and eventually passed it along to friends in St. Martinsville, LA. It was later a fixture at their Lafayette, LA restaurant "Edie's" at Ambassador Caffery & Pinhook. My dream is a 1947 American LaFrance 700 Series Pumper like the one my dad was assigned to when he went on the department in 1947 in Linden, NJ.

Ed Luddy Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 My latest truck is 33 yrs old. Sold my 2010 F250 Lariat and bought a 89 from N. Carolina. Hard to believe it's that old! Still too new for most of crowd on here, but that's ok. I like the interior and cold A/C as it's over 90 degrees and 95% humidity today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 If we are talking about BIG trucks, there will be a show in two weeks on a Saturday in Buck PA. About 15 minutes south of Lancaster. Its a show mostly of modern over the road stuff but there are antiques that show up. I think admission is free as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 There is a real nice show in Ballston Spa NY I was impressed with how many trucks were in attendance. Some nice stuff from Canada in the past, but with the restrictions of the last few years not as many. They still fill most of the fair grounds. The majority are big trucks and alot of stuff right back to the teens. A real nice mix. A very laid back show with a real low admission I think it was a dollar or two donation. Trucks coming and going all day. Almost like a big boys cruise in with a huge parking lot. They even have a nice little swap meet. I can't recall but even the vehicle fee entrance was super cheap. I only attended 2 shows last year and that was one of them. Here is my 47 Hudson big Boy and you's already seen the Brockway.

Bhigdog Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 That Brockway would look real nice next June at Macungie. Bring some old truck paper, put it on the bed for sale, and Viola, admission and mileage are a deduction. Might even make a couple of bucks........Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramair Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 My 1936 GMC T-14 that we finished last August, the 50 year long restoration got done before I was to old to drive it. I had much help here from this group. Sometimes it was sending me a part I needed, on several occasions it was me sending the part to our very talented posters for a repair and of course some kind words of encouragement from time to time! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
