Trucks leaving the ATHS convention.

All the shots I got of trucks leaving the American Truck Historical Society convention. Filmed on 6/11/22. Taken outside of the Springfield Illinois fairgrounds.

The world was a much better place when Ford, GM & Dodge all made heavy duty trucks✌️

I agree. Wish I could go back to those days.

It's heartwarming to see what America had for real trucks back in the day

[@glindabeaven6805]

Its just my opinion but the older trucks are so much more exciting to look at and watch The newer custom builts ones are ok but the old ones rock

[@twincitiestruckspotting4863]

I gotta agree with you on that. Newer custom built ones almost always sound the same it’s nice to have a variety of engines and sounds

[@SRTRUCKINGISBEST]

That's true

I wish they would stop putting those straight through exhausts on them as well as those horrid front bumpers, these trucks were super sexy from the factory - absolutely no need for tacky gimmicks

6:34 I don't think I have ever seen a Bison in action before. GMC Generals, Yes, but never a Bison. And the mid 80s Mack Superliners are cool too, I think partly since they resemble the Bison and General.

[@twincitiestruckspotting4863]

Yeah that was the first show where I’ve ever even seen a Bison. There was definitely some copying when it came to generals/bisons/superliners/ and probably 4300 transtars

Why do all the people that make these videos, seem to never point the camera at the trucks on the trailers, the camera follows the truck with the trailer, but not what's on the trailer, we miss some really cool stuff on the trailers.

[@twincitiestruckspotting4863]

I took pictures of everything at the show before I took the videos. The reason people film the trucks pulling is because they are the only thing moving and making noise. The only time I’ll film a truck on a trailer is if it’s A- really cool, or B- being pulled by a new truck
