    There’s not much I wouldn’t give for that property and the rigs on it, fields of gold right there.

    Every truck has a story to tell, these are & were a big part of American history. Bittersweet for sure!

    Used to work for his neighbor and had the opportunity to walk both locations 10 years ago when everything was still there and talk with Bill, absolutely epic! Sad most of it’s gone

    Like #39. Wow, that 51 Chevy 3800, i've never seen a tandem one before. Made my heart skip a beat for being a tandem. That ol' mack c-609st makes me think if Kenworth got the idea for the Kenworth SAR model with the short sloped hood...from Mack.

    The little Diamond Reo tanker I would guess to be around a 1970, model C-101.

    I sure wish there was a old piece of ground that could be used to park them up high and dry... I and my brother both were owner operators and we found a old mack setting off in the weeds.... so we took a pressure washer, and lots of soap to it. Took a whole three days to knock the moss and other off of it but it did come clean... oddly the old thermodin was not locked up so with just a bit of coaxing got it started... torches got the wheels freed up and so drove it to our barn. I and my boys spent about a week on paste wax and buffing it till it shined and so with some black paint on some of the framework, made it look ready to go to work. I had the title as it was in the glove box an I knew that fellow who did use to own it... he had past on and so it had sat probably close to thirty years.... lots of fellows wanted to buy it off of us but we drove it to a museum for heavy equipment. it was a B52 and not too heavy equipped so it was grabbed up where they would put it in the parade many a year. As it was setting in the pucker brush, it really looked like junk and then comes out a peacock!

    All the old tired iron that made a lot of money for their owners until they cost more to fix than what they were worth

    The Brockway most likely still had a wooden cab frame. Used to ride with my dad in a 65 pulling a 50 ton cowboy.

      An exhaust brake made by the Williams Co. Supposed to be an alternative to the Jake brake, but they never caught on.

    All Pretty far gone. I think back to the Men who used those trucks, how tough they had to be and likely proud of how well they did their job. Drivers nowadays have no idea how difficult it used to be. Now I’m Not saying that the guys dragging that stupid tow behind plow with a single operator have it easy or anything.
