I KNOW that logging truck: Driven by a guy name "Roger" for an oilfield data logging company called, " Buckeye Well Surveys" owned by Chuck Withey in Louisville, Ohio in 1983. It was my first job fresh out of engineering school. We would drop custom made data logging tools down freshly drilled wells then a radioactive nugget placed inside the tool would enable the sensors to ping-back a signal enabling the geologist to determine variables such as salinity, shale etc. All of the trucks shared that unique color combination and angled graphic layout. I STILL have an un-opened box of coffee mugs from the company Christmas party from 1983.
I'm a splicing technician working for The Company Formerly Known As Bell of Pennsylvania, as well as a gearhead and telco history nerd, so I love to see any old Bell truck out and about.
Being an old truck driver like myself, these trucks are way before my time but wow!! Those are some of the coolest trucks I’ve ever seen, thank you for the great content. God bless you and your family.
Found some info about the periscope on the roof:Telephone trucks had this periscope in the cab roof so that the driver could operate the winch controls and watch what was happening in the back of the truck.
It would also have been handy for seeing if the top of the trailer was clearing. There would have been a huge amount of low clearances back in those days.
@@BRTowe thats what i said two days ago but there would have been multiple things people found it handy and convenient for use back in the day.. this is what we used it for on the farm in the Ol pete
Interesting to see that old tractor-trailer setup. I used to drive trucks for a living and I can only imagine what it must of been like to drive that set up over the road or regionally, hauling freight. They were some tough drivers. It wasn't uncommon back then for those types of trucks to be used for that and the driver had no sleeper. He would throw a board over the seats and sleep on it, sleep in the trailer, or whatever he could make resourceful. We sure have come a long way in trucking. BTW, the old White truck you loaded, the back was not storage, it is the sleeper there was a mattress for the driver back there.
I'm pretty sure the trailer is a 1940's Allied Van Lines trailer based on what color is left and that black band around it. Low slung with barn doors on rear and curbside only. I'm thinking the first cab you pulled up may have possibly the mate to it. The Bell COE which doesn't go with that trailer possibly had the roof mirror for low bridges but I think it may have been also for pole or aerial phone line installation. Looks like an old gearbox and mount for some kind of lift arm. Also the possible reason for customized, over sized rear window. I live in Canada but worked for Allied when I was young and Bell Canada. Brought back some memories. Cheers!
I have one of those Ford cabovers. Have had it since the 1980s and got mine from New Mexico. Mine was an AT&T telephone truck originally and had a huge service body on it. Mine has the same mirror attachment on the top and was used for seeing clearance for poles or whatever. You stated in the video, this cabover truck was also a telephone truck. I don't have any pictures of mine showing the service bed body on the back. Mine doesn't have the rear window cut out like that but does have a sliding window fabricated there..
The logging truck is an old oil field wireline logging truck. Used to be a big drum with cable on it. They run tools down in wells and record the data. Companies like Schlumberger and Haliburton still have versions of it today.
On the rear of the logging truck there was a winch installed, with a drum of electric cable. This was used to run a series od electric/electronic tool downhole in oil and gas wells. This is to log and record a number of physical parameters of the rocks. This technology was invented around the 20's in Alsace, and is still in use today
Not a unit , the truck was a line and pole setter for ma bell and the trailer was a furniture van, Now the Combine sleeper unit and the furniture van would make a sweet setup. You could put a service body on the bell truck, it would be a cool service truck.
At the age of 63, I was fortunate enough to take the trip of a lifetime driving through England, Wales and Scotland on a pilgrimage to find my family roots. In the 11th century, my ancestors accompanied William the Conquerer on his ‘trip’ to England. They settled in the Wye River Valley and one of them became the Warden of the Forest Dean. The headquarters was in a castle in the town of St. Briavels which commands the high ground overlooking the valley. Driving our nondescript Vauxhall up to the castle on the winding one lane road, when I saw an amazing sight coming down towards me. A beautiful BRG Jaguar E type piloted by a very white haired, scarfed, flat capped gentleman! Could not have been more perfect for me!😊
That truck and trailer and the snubby nosed camper looking thing...the metro might is exra special too. The periscope is to let the driver look at the load while operating the winch, possibly unloading telephone poles or heavy cable equipment rolls by himself.
I'm believe that trailer is a moving and storage trailer used for transporting household goods. It is essentially a drop frame trailer and with the side doors and rear doors opening like they are it would be the unit that would show up when you are having your household furniture and such to be moved. Of course that is an art deco design and it of course is to present a modern clean operation which is to show the customer that the company will handle their belongings with care. The parking brakes on those old trailers are of the air applied when the unit is parked (not spring brakes as in modern trailers). Experienced truck drivers of the time knew to chock the trailer tires as the air bleeds off on that type or parking brake and when you go to get under that trailer it can roll away from you. I do not go back that far but I have had a couple of units that had that style of parking brakes. Pretty cool deal. Set it up to be coupled with that White tractor. That White would represent a period sleeper for the times. Some one who restores those older tractor trailers would really go to town on that rig. Sadly the White has a lot of the drivetrain missing but you can't have everything. That Dodge is really cool (that's a pilot house cab) and the International Metro is really cool and could have been a delivery truck for packages such as UPS although it is a little big for that. Cool stuff you got there.
Telephone guys usually started out somewhere as a "Lineman", which are the guys who go out and just string up miles of cable, from pole to pole. After being a lineman for a while he has the opportunity to refine his skills and go into another sector of the Bell System as a local installer/technician. This is what my father was. He started out as a lineman around 1952 after Korea and swiftly moved up to become the "Telephone Man" in our small town of 2500 people. I have pictures of my dad working with trucks just like this, which is an old line truck. These trucks carried the tools they needed to string the cables and connect them pole to pole. This was a dedicated truck, owned by the Bell System. The Bell System is the one who put those logo's on it. You can tell the general "era" of the equipment by the logo which changed occasionally plus it would help to trace the VIN for the year and model etc. These are GREAT finds and should be in a museum somewhere.
the cabover was a poll setting truck. it would of had a big body on the back with a huge winch and a long boom so as to set up telephone polls and the periscope let the driver see where its at.
@@delwhylie4748 There's a reason a lot of 4x4 winches are changing to synthetic line from steel wire. Heavy wreckers and cranes use a different type of steel cable that are less prone to snapping.
I absolutely love that Wyatt has been so humble toward, and supportive of Lance. Lance, you have a special relationship with your father. You were very lucky to have your Uncle Frankie in your your younger life too. My father was a miserably self centered only child! So he became less flexible as he aged!! What a miserable existence.😐
You guys got some really cool stuff at this auction. One thing I love about you guys is that you take an interest in the kind of stuff that doesn't usually get saved. There aren't many people out there saving the old utility vehicles like this. I love stuff like this, and it is nice to see some of this stuff getting saved. There are thousands of muscle cars out there, but these are the vehicles that are truly rare.
If I don't miss my guess, That big hole in that trailer on the Bell COE is for a Pintle hitch for when they would pull tandem trailers. The Pintle would be connected to a drawbar/axle assembly with a king plate on it and the second trailer hitched to it.
Hi,well done, Sonia & Curtis. Very glad you enjoyed it,and you'll be back for more. Really took me back, all my years in meter-taxi/travel & tours career in Cape Town & the peninsula. 💯%🙏 Love & Respect to you
It's fun to watch you non truckers trying to figure out what's what... lol The White is a classic, you really need to get an original hood, grille and fenders for it though. That "extended cab is the sleeper. The trailer is an old furniture moving van. The "logging truck" was used for data logging in the oil patch. The big hole in the back is where they would lower a line down the bore hole. Obviously, the reel for the line is long gone. Knowing you two, these old rusty trucks are going to get the full treatment. The Metro says KB-5, so it's sitting on an International chassis. As for the Dodge, just cool. Needs an Edison Motors conversion kit! Diesel electric, on e-axles for a really cool 4x4... 😎
Gern wäre ich Live dabei, doch in Deutschland ist es mitten in der Nacht.Deshalb nehme ich alles auf.Vielen Dank für die erstaunlichen Auffinden dieser Raritäten aus Deutschland.Viele Grüße an das Team❤.
back in the late 70s i worked for AMF TUBASCOPE we used a truck that was just like the second one you showed. we x-rayed drill pipe used out in the oil field. the controls you found in the back were for controlling the x-ray set up. nice find.
That "logging" truck is a really old wireline truck used in the oil and gas industry. The hole in the back of the truck had a huge spool with cable on it. They call them loggers because you would attach different tools to the end of the cable and lower those tools down into the gas or oil well and that tool would take different readings about the well depending on what kind of tool that was attached.
That first truck is an old A frame telephone company line truck. Those trucks had a crew cab behind the main cab for a usually 5 man crew. The foreman and truck operator sat up front while the crew sat behind when traveling. The reason for not having a rear window in the cab was for the crew to talk to each other. The mirror in the cab roof was for the operator to see behind the truck while setting poles and operating the A frame boom. The rear of the truck was a covered box for supplies and tools. The newer trucks were converted to hydraulics. That was my job as a "grunt" 70+ years ago.
Wyatt and Lance , you got some serious projects in this old Iron. Should keep y’all busy for quite awhile. Just you Men Trying to recovering these is job. Always love your videos. It was a Full days work just on the recovery.I like the cab over and the old Dodge.
The old Ford COE I believe is a 1940 or 1941 , The van looks to be a moving van like the Mayflower Company used, AND what you call a box truck looks to be a milk delivery truck as with The Borden Company.
I am a 4th generation truck driver. Im retired now. The old white is an early sleeper cab truck. Hard to believe someone was able to sleep in that small of a space. That's all they had back then. I was amazed Wyatt was able to turn the wheel. those truck didn't have power steering in that time period. They had a steering wheel the size a dining room table as the drivers called it.
Well logging consists of running a mile or two of steel cable down the hole with the instruments needed to tell the surfface operator where the gas ano oil layers are.
I think it’s been a logging truck used in drilling Oil wells, it would have had a wireline winch in the back hence the controls at the rear of the cabin , just my thoughts anyway
That logging truck is usually used for the oil fields. The operator would sit at the desk and watch a reel of wire feed from the back of the truck down into a well bore. There would be a sensor at the end of the wire that would “log” where different formations and fluids would be in the hole on a computer screen in a modern day logging truck. The big hole in the floor in the back compartment is where the reel of wire would be. The levers and pedals at the operator station facing the back control the reel speed and direction, in or out of the hole. We have one at the oil company I work for.
The channel title is Restored, but the videos are mostly about the evacuation process. I'm really tired of watching it, I thought about the video of the restoration process.
Well myself I like the Cab Over second place is the Metro Looking Van. The other ones I would have dropped in the ocean where it’s 6 miles deep never to be seen again. Hence boat anchors. I’m a retired Telephone Pioneer before cell phones I kept communications going for Kansas City on the Kansas side. Cable repair technician. When wires got cut or crossed I put them back together. Cell phones cut out wires. ATT placed copper wires up and down EVERY STREET IN THE NATION SINCE 1903. Except the Dodge Truck you left behind it’s cool too.. Nuff said
The round nose trailer is a furniture/mover trailer, a drop frame with side door access and rope tie offs give it away, The round nose was "aerodynamic' but a pain to load.
The so-called logging truck is an old wireline truck used for running various measuring instruments down oil or gas wells on the end of a wire. It's called "logging the well" or "logging the hole". Not sure, but the second shifter is probably to engage and disengage the large spool of wire that rides in the back, the draw works that pulls the wire in and out of the hole.
That logging truck has a lot of potential. The engine will definitely run and it has a cool look to it. It would be impossible to restore to original condition, but there is enough room inside that you could turn it into a really cool and unique customized vehicle. There is a lot you could do with that one.
The logging truck was for the oil and gas industry the trucks followed oilfield service rigs and that log truck had a spool in the back with all the tools
Great video. thanks for stepping up and saving these rusted relics. I believe the "logger" was originally a heavy rescue truck from a large city fire department. The controls (pedals) may have been for a large pto winch in the back of the truck. There should be a data plate somewhere on the body. The lever that did nothing might be for the pto for the winch??
Very nice pieces of equipment you have their American history I could be wrong the trailer might be a moving trailer for household goods thanks for the video guys stay safe out there
I like the White /IH truck and if I could afford it I'd have you guys make me a car-hauler for my Model A! I'm eighty=two in the fall and it's hard for me to drive the A to the meets every summer as I'm extremely arthritic! Great find guy!
Man, I really hate y'all sticking your heads down there by those tow cables with all that tension on them like that. I wince every time. I guess the silver lining is it would be a fast death.
Excited to see these fixed up with good paint jobs, running, looking good on the road. So many channels just get things running and stop. Looking forward to this. Something different for a change.
Every one of those units are cool but, the truck and trailer tandem are my favorite ....the styling of that trailer has a kind of an art deco vibe to it. Curious as to what year the combo is. If restored right (which there is no doubt you'll do) it will be a head turner where ever it goes. Excited to see how they turn out.
This was an early Christmas gift for me. 😊 I ❤ these old workhorses which were from the decade just before my birth but existed well into my late childhood.
Years ago i worked for nl mccullugh wire line company in west texas. The logging truck is missing the spool of wire line wire that had any type of "tools" to work inside the casing of the oil well. From perforation of the casing to a cement bond log and also some times we had to go "fishing" to get things dropped or broken wire inthe casing in the well hole. Good luck and we will be watching the progress. Mike in artesia new mexico.
That first tractor trailer combo would make the BEST little weekend drag race hauler. Put a front engine dragster in the back and go to the track! I just decided my first lottery purchase.
Lance, Wyatt long time between drinks, but man!!! what a gr8 vid. You found some interesting trucks. the big jumbo horse float( looks like a horse float) it's huge. Could turn it into a mobile home with a lot of work and imagination??? A gr8 ep, look forward to the next one. Cheers
That logging truck, would make for a cool retro RV conversion! Looks like a stylish ride on the road if it could be done. I'm actually picturing it in my head how it would look. Too bad I can't buy something like it 😢
The 36' trailer looks extremely similar to an old Mayflower moving semi. Vertical curve at trailer's front, twin ribs horizontal along the sides, and the single axle at the extreme rear tell the tale. 😀👍
I haven't seen one of those old vans with the rounded front end in ages. I load vans and pups for a living. I'd forgotten how much smaller the old vans were than the ones we have nowadays.
It's very good that you guys, found and rescued these are old relics from the past, but I work on vehicles and that's what I want to see, I don't want to just see the finds!
My favorite is probably a toss-up between the Dodge and the White with the IH nose, but my goodness.....that Leisure Logger would make an awesome retro camper conversion.
Wireline truck used for downhole work in the oil patch. Should be a driveline to a large winch drum in the rear. The large engine is needed to power the drum. Would make an awesome camper van. Looks like it was converted to an electrical line truck.
Maybe that periscope mirror deal on the phone company truck is so you can see if you're going to clear an underpass or other obstruction with the trailer since the truck might be used to go into offroad places, since this was probably used to haul cabling/tools where they were doing work. Definitely a cool collection of trucks.
That "scoop thang" on the cab over has a mirror in it .its to look at the top of your trailer so you don't hit shit in low clearance situations i know because my grandpa's ol pete had one and i got the trailer stuck under the old bridge on the property grant it i was 12 at the time..now im a old man and know better 😂
Those are a few neat old trucks. Another way you could decrease the loading angle is lifting the rear of the F250. Also if you have the trailers wired up to charge the winch batteries, running the trucks will also help. I wonder if that old trailer is wide enough to be used to haul project cars?
Really liked all the trucks shown here. My favorite though was the White/International extended cab. Hopefully you can get it running again. Really excited for this one. This thing is screaming to be a diesel rod!! I think Welderup from Nevada would be envious that you have it!
I'd love to see that yellow articulated truck restored... That's pure Americana, even for the European I am... Associations with Teamstersboss Hoffa, those superb 1950's gasoil stations with folks in nice uniforms pumping gas etc. are immediately coming to mind..... How many of these are still around ?

Yes sir I would agree that the moving van would be an Allied unit.
That Logging Truck is for Logging Oil Wells. After it's drilled they send Probes down the Hole to record how straight the Well is.

The mirror in the cab roof was for the operator to see behind the truck while setting poles and operating the A frame boom. The rear of the truck was a covered box for supplies and tools. The newer trucks were converted to hydraulics. That was my job as a "grunt" 70+ years ago.
Wyatt and Lance , you got some serious projects in this old Iron. Should keep y’all busy for quite awhile. Just you Men
Trying to recovering these is job. Always love your videos. It was a Full days work just on the recovery.I like the cab over and the old Dodge.
The old Ford COE I believe is a 1940 or 1941 , The van looks to be a moving van like the Mayflower Company used, AND what you call a box truck looks to be a milk delivery truck as with The Borden Company.
When you get those side doors open, you might find some clabbered milk. LOL
That Logging truck would make a nice travel RV.
I am a 4th generation truck driver. Im retired now. The old white is an early sleeper cab truck. Hard to believe someone was able to sleep in that small of a space. That's all they had back then. I was amazed Wyatt was able to turn the wheel. those truck didn't have power steering in that time period. They had a steering wheel the size a dining room table as the drivers called it.
Well logging consists of running a mile or two of steel cable down the hole with the instruments needed to tell the surfface operator where the gas ano oil layers are.
I think it’s been a logging truck used in drilling Oil wells, it would have had a wireline winch in the back hence the controls at the rear of the cabin , just my thoughts anyway
Agreed, it is definitely a well logging truck.
More likely a unit to set over a manhole and pull cables inside the sewer tunnels.
That logging truck is usually used for the oil fields. The operator would sit at the desk and watch a reel of wire feed from the back of the truck down into a well bore. There would be a sensor at the end of the wire that would “log” where different formations and fluids would be in the hole on a computer screen in a modern day logging truck. The big hole in the floor in the back compartment is where the reel of wire would be. The levers and pedals at the operator station facing the back control the reel speed and direction, in or out of the hole. We have one at the oil company I work for.
The channel title is Restored, but the videos are mostly about the evacuation process. I'm really tired of watching it, I thought about the video of the restoration process.
Cry about it. Go watch overhaulin.
Mama taught me if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all
@@starionslider2116Or maybe the channel name shouldn’t be a blatant lie.
@@caroled5734Sounds like your mama was an idiot.
@@caroled5734the ones who do keep it to themselves inevitably leave giving the creators no true criticism. irrelevant take
The log truck is going to be cool when you fix it up, but that semi with a lowboy will be even cooler.
Thanks for the show.
Man that cabover is a work of art. Please please please more content like this!
Well myself I like the Cab Over second place is the Metro Looking Van. The other ones I would have dropped in the ocean where it’s 6 miles deep never to be seen again. Hence boat anchors. I’m a retired Telephone Pioneer before cell phones I kept communications going for Kansas City on the Kansas side. Cable repair technician. When wires got cut or crossed I put them back together. Cell phones cut out wires. ATT placed copper wires up and down EVERY STREET IN THE NATION SINCE 1903. Except the Dodge Truck you left behind it’s cool too.. Nuff said
The round nose trailer is a furniture/mover trailer, a drop frame with side door access and rope tie offs give it away, The round nose was "aerodynamic' but a pain to load.
The so-called logging truck is an old wireline truck used for running various measuring instruments down oil or gas wells on the end of a wire. It's called "logging the well" or "logging the hole".
Not sure, but the second shifter is probably to engage and disengage the large spool of wire that rides in the back, the draw works that pulls the wire in and out of the hole.
That logging truck has a lot of potential. The engine will definitely run and it has a cool look to it. It would be impossible to restore to original condition, but there is enough room inside that you could turn it into a really cool and unique customized vehicle. There is a lot you could do with that one.
The logging truck was for the oil and gas industry the trucks followed oilfield service rigs and that log truck had a spool in the back with all the tools
That periscope type thing could be for checking overpass clearance. maybe ??
Great video. thanks for stepping up and saving these rusted relics. I believe the "logger" was originally a heavy rescue truck from a large city fire department. The controls (pedals) may have been for a large pto winch in the back of the truck. There should be a data plate somewhere on the body. The lever that did nothing might be for the pto for the winch??
Very nice pieces of equipment you have their American history I could be wrong the trailer might be a moving trailer for household goods thanks for the video guys stay safe out there
Man ! You guys picked out a bunch of work with those brutes ‼️
Awesome finds, guys! Looking forward to 'Will it run' videos.... 😁
I like the White /IH truck and if I could afford it I'd have you guys make me a car-hauler for my Model A! I'm eighty=two in the fall and it's hard for me to drive the A to the meets every summer as I'm extremely arthritic!
Great find guy!
That truck you loaded on first reminded me of The ZZ-Top 1933 Ford Eliminator. Baddass truck
Man, I really hate y'all sticking your heads down there by those tow cables with all that tension on them like that. I wince every time. I guess the silver lining is it would be a fast death.
Excited to see these fixed up with good paint jobs, running, looking good on the road. So many channels just get things running and stop. Looking forward to this. Something different for a change.
Every one of those units are cool but, the truck and trailer tandem are my favorite ....the styling of that trailer has a kind of an art deco vibe to it. Curious as to what year the combo is. If restored right (which there is no doubt you'll do) it will be a head turner where ever it goes. Excited to see how they turn out.
Would make a great camper outfit
This was an early Christmas gift for me. 😊 I ❤ these old workhorses which were from the decade just before my birth but existed well into my late childhood.
Years ago i worked for nl mccullugh wire line company in west texas. The logging truck is missing the spool of wire line wire that had any type of "tools" to work inside the casing of the oil well. From perforation of the casing to a cement bond log and also some times we had to go "fishing" to get things dropped or broken wire inthe casing in the well hole. Good luck and we will be watching the progress. Mike in artesia new mexico.
My fave's gotta be that International. Next would be that COE/trailer.
Thats what i like in this channel, they choose really rare oddballs.
Wow I can’t believe you’re loading the whole rig and trailer. 👍
GOD Bless you and your dad and your whole family !!!
That first tractor trailer combo would make the BEST little weekend drag race hauler. Put a front engine dragster in the back and go to the track! I just decided my first lottery purchase.
WOW! Waiting with great anticipation. What an amazing machine.
Lance, Wyatt long time between drinks, but man!!! what a gr8 vid. You found some interesting trucks. the big jumbo horse float( looks like a horse float) it's huge. Could turn it into a mobile home with a lot of work and imagination??? A gr8 ep, look forward to the next one. Cheers
That old Dodge has a reefer box on the back. Probably owned by a dairy. The front part is the freezer, the back part is a chill areaa
WOW Those old trucks are killer...Your lucky you have so much vintage tin over there !
This is the time when you wish you had a huge forklift available to load those vehicles. Those winches deserve a huge round of applause!
That logging truck, would make for a cool retro RV conversion! Looks like a stylish ride on the road if it could be done. I'm actually picturing it in my head how it would look. Too bad I can't buy something like it 😢
I can see I'm going to pray for you fells a lot more, some of those were just hanging on. Guys great catch.
Thats some haul of vintage trucks. Just beautiful guys. Good luck with the restoration.
These are all some of the neatest vehicles I have seen. Would be awsum to see them all going again. Keep up the good work!
That cabover is by far the coolest, especially with that old 40s trailer
That international truck, best one.
Do that one up please
It’s awesome seeing you guys out gathering up these old vehicles, God bless and take care
You guys are really blessed finding cool old Vehicles. God bless. Love you guys.
Yea. Go for coffee. Lol
Ol
I like the old White/International Harvester truck! Like you said, it would make a really cool hauler when it is restored.
That first vehicle would make an awesome conversion to a RV/travel rig
A 1947 Cabover and a early Streamline Trailer. You need to find the missing Sleepercabin.
I think the truck was the first one they pulled on trailer
Wow, quite the adventure boys.....that truck with the long trailer was an awesome find......
price was right,just get it out here,it's yours.
The 36' trailer looks extremely similar to an old Mayflower moving semi. Vertical curve at trailer's front, twin ribs horizontal along the sides, and the single axle at the extreme rear tell the tale. 😀👍
I haven't seen one of those old vans with the rounded front end in ages. I load vans and pups for a living. I'd forgotten how much smaller the old vans were than the ones we have nowadays.
The big box trailer looks like it may of been used for hauling furniture ?
It's very good that you guys, found and rescued these are old relics from the past, but I work on vehicles and that's what I want to see, I don't want to just see the finds!
My favorite is probably a toss-up between the Dodge and the White with the IH nose, but my goodness.....that Leisure Logger would make an awesome retro camper conversion.
Wireline truck used for downhole work in the oil patch. Should be a driveline to a large winch drum in the rear. The large engine is needed to power the drum. Would make an awesome camper van. Looks like it was converted to an electrical line truck.
Maybe that periscope mirror deal on the phone company truck is so you can see if you're going to clear an underpass or other obstruction with the trailer since the truck might be used to go into offroad places, since this was probably used to haul cabling/tools where they were doing work. Definitely a cool collection of trucks.
That "scoop thang" on the cab over has a mirror in it .its to look at the top of your trailer so you don't hit shit in low clearance situations i know because my grandpa's ol pete had one and i got the trailer stuck under the old bridge on the property grant it i was 12 at the time..now im a old man and know better 😂
Not what that one was for. It was for setting telephone poles with the crane and winch that used to be mounted to the back of the truck.
Thanks for blessing us with another great video
Those are a few neat old trucks.
Another way you could decrease the loading angle is lifting the rear of the F250. Also if you have the trailers wired up to charge the winch batteries, running the trucks will also help.
I wonder if that old trailer is wide enough to be used to haul project cars?
That White is so cool, as soon as you guys walked up on it, all I thought of was stretching the frame and making a car hauler, that truck is so cool
Really liked all the trucks shown here. My favorite though was the White/International extended cab. Hopefully you can get it running again. Really excited for this one. This thing is screaming to be a diesel rod!! I think Welderup from Nevada would be envious that you have it!
I'd love to see that yellow articulated truck restored... That's pure Americana, even for the European I am... Associations with Teamstersboss Hoffa, those superb 1950's gasoil stations with folks in nice uniforms pumping gas etc. are immediately coming to mind..... How many of these are still around ?
Those are all cool old trucks. The cab and trailer is neat. That would be one of my favorites. It would be cool to see it running again.
just awesome to see these being collected, hope to see future videos of them. So many great looking vehicles, I'm leaning towards the box truck 👍😎
