Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

I used to work with a woman who had a clean, early 90s extended cab short bed Ford. She was proud of it and called herself a truck girl. All well and good. But one day she decided to push the Ford versus Chevy thing, knowing that I had a Chevy. She proceeded to tell me that in her family growing up they were into trucks and had 10 of them. And she proudly stated that they were all Fords except for one Chevy. I asked what the Chevy was. She said it was their tow truck. I stood there not saying anything and grinning at her until what she had just told me sunk in for her. Ford versus Chevy never came up again.

Grandpa’s 1967 F100. 6 cylinder three on the tree! It’s an oil dribbler now, but it cranks right up without any issues. I use it mostly during the Fall & Spring. Cannot count the number of buck deer & firewood that thing has driven out of the woods! Probably gonna get a new engine dropped in it before next Fall.

Also, I always liked these Dodge Express trucks. I remember being about 10 years old in 1979 and our neighbor got one his senior year in high school. Once he rode me around the neighborhood in it. Man, that thing was super cool!!!

My dad had a '51 Dodge that he puta 318 w/ typewriter Torqueflite and dual side stacks. That "Express" truck reminded me of it. My dad sold it to one of my uncles who left it parked on the street in downtown LA and it got towed, gone forever. Uncle spent a lot more on booze than parking.

Cool old trucks

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Cool old wide trucks

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Saw this good looking flatbed in Genoa today.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Looks good and solid, too. I hope they use it every now and then. Willys made some cool little trucks. I've always had a soft spot for them, and hope to have one some day.

Early original examples

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Great pics. The one hauling the icebox has what looks like a padded roof. Maybe an early "landau"? :lol: I do like the warning stick on the front fender.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Im not 100% up on the years on the Willys but the one Yuccales mentioned looks to be a 33 (?) sedan made in to a truck (obvious to everybody I suppose). I just wanted to say Ive sat in a 33 Willys sedan before and its crazy how tiny these cars are inside. They really are very small and you just dont see it from looking at a picture. Heck model T's and A's are pretty small too.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

I don't think they had full metal tops yet. I'm no expert on these either. '33 and '41 were the popular drag bodies in the cars. The pickups shared the same sheet metal. I have more pictures so we can compare and learn something

The last one is labeled '36. Looks the same as the two '33s. I'm guessing the one with the coolerator is a year or two earlier

A pair of 1923 Willys

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Most early cars and trucks had material and wood for the roof center section. Think it was because the stamping was to large the technology wasnt there yet .on the truck the corner was probably made the same way as they most likely cut a sedan roof to make the cab

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Haven't had any Plymouths here yet

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Nash made trucks

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Saw this good old truck the other day.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Love it just like that. That's the 4wds I always knew (and had).

Ever heard of Powell Sport Wagons? $999 in '55. They got da funk! I'd sure like to have one now.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Looks a lot like a Land Rover :)

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

You're right. A Land Rover without puffy cheeks :lol:

More Powell to ya

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Does your truck have these??

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Sure would be nice if GM would figure out how to use all the space between the inner and outer bed steel on the newer pickups! :lol:

1949 Studebaker Street Truck

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Those were for your fishing poles
Dennis cage on My Classic Car interviewed a guy with one and that's what he said

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

That could be the best looking one I have seen

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

That's right. These were more or less after the sportsman market.

Here you go

I might have to agree on that! Those have one of the nicest designed bodies ever. I'm mostly showing stock or stock-ish trucks at first. Here are some
