One of the greatest truck photos of all time...

A lot of those older trucks were big gas engines, which I'm sure got lousy mileage, I'm wondering how much time they spent stopping to fill up. But I bet they were glad to get out of the truck.

 

The guy I'm leased to has one of those old Fords. It still runs and still has the original flathead V8 in it. He used to run it local and now he's gonna restore it and show it.

It's been owned by his family for over 40 years!

 

That's a Model LJ Mack.

 

THX to all that posted those pics!

 

lets see, how about an H-63 Mack cabover with a ten spd. (duplex) trans. geared at 63 mph to north carolina, then to the "emeryvilles" (220h.p.- 262 with a turbo) cable shifted r-96 roadranger trans. rubberblock (hendrickson) suspension. Those emeryvilles would really get the job done IF the wind Wasn't blowing. How about 6-6.5 mpg and run70 mph grossing 72,380?? One or two trips a week hauling produce out of fla. to nyc or boston. later matt.

 

This is by my opinion, #1 off all times .

 

I sure wouldn't enjoy running more than the length of a parade route in a truck like that.

However, I'm fairly confident I've been to some docks that were built when that truck was the biggest large car out there.
