    Found these sitting on a farm upstate NY. There were three of them. The other was a Freightliner (picture to follow). I often see tired abandoned trucks on the country back roads. You often wonder about their history.

    I always feel bad for old "field trucks". Once the grass grows up under them the corrosion really sets in, though.

    I love looking at old cabover pics too. Found mine and when I dragged it in the yard my wife thought it was a lost cause. Sunk 18 grand in it and I'm having fun riding around.:yes2557:
