The legendary DAF Turbo Twin. It had two (!) turbocharged 11.6 liter engines producing a total of 2400hp and 7000lb/ft (!!), good for 150mph runs across the desert (!!!):

Almost looks like there's no motor!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I've only seen those DAFs in the Paris-Dakar rally. I wonder if they are used for any actual work duty?
That turbine picture threw me way off! What the...? How's that thing moving??? LOL

Yukes!

I was awestruck by these as a kid:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

A Tandem dump and a li'l ole "train switcher!"

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

There's a green Euclid parked outside a quarry just off of I-44 in Eureka, Missouri. It's been there for decades. One of these years when I pass by I need to stop and take some pics of it. I've thought it was so cool ever since I was a kid.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

My dad worked for Hayes back in the late '50s,(before I was born) in Vancouver BC
Really cool pics s-K

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

When I first looked at that picture I thought it was in a hole...LOL. That was the color I always remembered them being when I was a kid. Anything that color was known as Euclid Green to me.

I'm impressed. When I read about them I thought how cool it would be to work building them. They are some special machines. So,Pacific Trucks came about from a former Hayes employee starting his own company.
This guy worked for Pacific back in the day (he's Cory). I don't have any more Hayes pictures:

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
 

I think that one could make a guy some money at that price. I kinda got lost in all the details of the seller's description :lol:

I'm not such which Brockways I've showed,so here are all of them. If there are repeats the first one is way back somewhere (and who's even looking at these,anyway?:cool:)
