What is the oldest...

This old Mack dump takes it for me. For the life of me, though, I can't remember what year it is. I'll have to find the exterior pic.

 

Lol, that's funny..

My neighbor when i was growing up had a 1951 Corbit? or Corbin? it looks just like a Peterbilt. i think there was a lawsuit over that and they were put out of business because of it, or something like that. The truck/motor had over 2 million miles on it. This truck looked great had nice paint and everything. It was used to haul grain. It's been sitting now for the last 15 years though, but it still ran when it was parked.

 

Now you have me interested in that Corbin or Corbit truck. I'm just as crazy as that guy on American Trucker when it comes to old trucks. Does anyone on here have any pictures of one or an internet link to some information on this make?

 

American Trucker

 

Thanks alot, those are really neat looking trucks! The way the hood/grille slants back on the bottom one reminds me of the Lonestar for some reason. Makes me wonder how many different makes there were over the years that no one remembers or has ever heard of at all...

 

Drove a 1965 B model Mack. Straight 5 Speed. #### pretty though.

 

And so was the driver............

 

We've got 2 flatbeds from 1949. Rarely use them, they are still inspected. Most of our trucks are late 80's early 90's

 

My grandfather ran a Chevrolet gas burner. It had a 427 industrial and a 4 spd with a workin 4th. It had a tag-axle. He'd carry 29 tons of sand legally. That ol gas burner would run 60 mph with a load. (65 if the wind was blowin in the right direction). Lol

 

Wow! So the gas engines weren't bad then, just really hard on fuel? Prolly took a little longer to get up to speed though as well...
