    These are more than 20 years old so I guess it's the "Past"

    The top pic looks like a mid 50s GMC 950 "Cannonball" with what looks like a rear tag axle. I bet the driver wished they had the scraper motor as the truck probably has a 4 banger Detroit. It was a slow ride,,I drove a Transtar just like that once. It was a good old, rough riding truck.:thumbup:
