427 hood vents too

**special-K** · 07-03-2015, 06:04 AM

That's about my speed. Most likely it's a 366. Those vents mean big block and the 427s had and engine badge added on. I had my chance on a '69 Custom/60 single tractor for $1,500 at the (real) local junk yard a handful of years back. I just couldn't swing it at the time. Makes me sad

I remember that truck Tim. I was sure hoping that you could have got it.

Great picture of an interesting truck.

For anyone who has never read it, there is an interesting story about Cole's Express and those trucks online.

Here is a video that explains the history of it:

i wonder how they solved the roblem after the rulechange if they whent back to going back empty or put tanks under the trailers

**special-K** · 07-13-2015, 09:48 AM

Those Coles trucks show one example of the many things the trucking industry has tried in the never ending quest for more efficient ways to move freight

Very nice! I always liked those better than the Ford C series.
