History of Corbitt Trucks - Truck History Episode 37

[@davidpotter7484]

I drove a corbitt. There was one in white swan, Washington. A 1942, one of 16 made, and one of two left, the only original one. Three axle tractor, with the 200 horse naturally aspirated cummins. Five speed main, three speed brownie, and a two speed high and low. And an exhaust brake.

My uncle drove a corbitt truck from North Carolina to Idaho in the early 40s ,moving he and his wife.The truck rest there today still in the family.

My dad was Wallace T. White, mentioned toward the end of the video. I think that he would be very pleased with this. A very nice presentation !

[@stevenraymer904]

I had never heard of the truck company until now love your truck videos

[@J2498]

Our FD had a 1956 OREN what a beast to drive no power steering and not very good brakes but a dream to pump!

I drove the Corbett truck for the Daniel Company owned by Cotton Daniel out of Springfield, Missouri. I have been telling folks about my experience driving a Corbett for the Daniel Company for years

I grew up in Henderson, NC. As a youth I toured the then vacant Corbett plant. My family attended church with the caretaker to the empty plant.

Thanks for putting up this video. I worked at a NC shipyard back in the 70's. There was a working Corbitt tuck there that had been converted to a crane truck. I had always wondered about the history of this company.

Now you're getiing into the really interesting stuff, most of the manufacturers you've featured so far are pretty well known outside of the US but I think it's more interesting to find out about those that aren't well known elsewhere around the world.

Im actually from Henderson nc ive lived here all my life we actually have a small corbit museum here in town, my grand father and great grandfather once owned a corbitt truck but im not sure wheather or not its still around it might be sitting in the woods behind my grandfathers house, if its still there i hope it might could be restored someday.

Growing up in Arizona, an area rancher had a Corbitt for 20 years (like the one pictured at 8:11) using it for his own hauling such as hay and taking the cattle to market. I remember seeing it a lot. He reluctantly parked it in 1986 as some parts were getting hard to find.

Much good. Well done. Medium rare. Bravo.

I wouldnt mind having one of the 4x4 with either a Cummins or a Hercules in it, but its probably just a dream

[@sonyajones]

Never heard of them here in the northeast Those short nose tractors near the end of the video look similar to the White 9000 of the late 60’s to early 70’s

W ramach pomocy UNRRA do Polski dostarczono kilka sztuk ciężarówek Corbitt 22FG wraz z naczepami chłodniczymi Fruehauf. Ciężarówki przewoziły ryby dla Centrala Rybna. Woziły ryby z Gdyni do Warszawy i innych miast.

The narrator (a voice synthesizer?) has an annoying way of sounding like he (it) is constantly a little surprised by what he's describing.
