Besides the great trucks I also appreciate the classic truck stops and garages. Thanks for including them

3:38 North central N.Y., a truck similar to this one once sat on my dad's farm about 1952. Might have been a furniture hauler the inside was lined with plywood or something similar. Dad and his brother turned the frame into a hay trailer.

Love these videos. Love the old trucks! Glad I don’t have to drive them though!!

Rude Carrier Corp's A-cars were Red with black & white lettering & the trailer sign was E I Dupont

Who does the background music for these wonderful looks into the past?

[@Torsee]

0:50 Very odd GMC on the right. Setback axle, must have ridden very nicely!

[@Retired88M]

Probably why they weren’t common

[@Torsee]

Yea never see one of those, look great on my 63 Fairlane

[@markfrench8892]

Been hoping you'd have a photo of a ONC tractor trailer rig of the late 50s early 60s, but no such luck yet. I can't seem to find any myself no matter how much I search.

No Smith's Transfer Corp.

[@hillbillytrucker8347]

How do you explain the house fell of the trailer to the DOT?😮😂😢

[@fredvanweerd5197]

I was wondering how they righted the house back up, were they able too? I would love to know the answer to that.

[@Drivapete]

Well, if the house ain't still there, they must've righted it. 😅

[@fredvanweerd5197]

@@Drivapete point taken.

Basically, a twin Ford v8s tractor, WW2 vintage built for hauling bomber wings in custom trailers, two cab versions, the other was a widened 40 Ford cab done by Checker. I have a couple photos
