[kb4450359]

[Statimtek]

Cool video.I miss the old cabovers.They seem to be a thing of the past.One sees very few C.O.E's here in No Cal anymore. Is that a Pete with the sleeper over the cab at 1:43?

[79tazman]

Got to get a one stack mack with the window in the back lol

[dolan2159]

The first truck looks like the one from Smokey And The Bandit

[ghezzinator9000]

the 1st one actually looks like an early 70s kenworth

[BeantownJim]

that's sic!

[JPCsTrucking]

1:26 my old man had a Diamond T that looked like that

[traxcavator50]

@JPCsTrucking thats a good looking truck.

[livingdeadgirl1013x]

1st of all: WAY cool video!

My dad was a trucker between the 40s-70s and he recognized a lot of those trucks!

I'm actually looking for any International or Reo or GMC from 1953-1966 that has "Miss Doe" I-VII decaled on front hood. These were my dads trucks. Im searching for these to buy and give my dad as a gift.

Any word or pictures would be helpful-we live in the midwest.

Thanks

Once again, COOL video!

[truckman63]

Thanks man I love to think abotu how better trucking was back then

[RuralTowner]

ah the older years....when trucks (like cars and pickups) had STYLE! now every semi truck looks like every other just about...likewise for the other atrocities that drive the roads :(

[greasychoppers]

Almost expectin Minnie Pearl to be standing on a runnin board somewhere in there. Nice ol trucks.

[DIESELFUMESS]

Glad you enjoyed the videos....

[clockman47]

3o years of diesel trucking, this is the only way i can truck now --Thanks. KEEP ON TRUCKING!

[NewarkChe]

Remember when trucks used to have several different license plates on them?

[bowslap]

0:27-0:30....old 1950's KW C.B.E. ....the true epitome of a bean-counter's truck. My understanding is that some Rocky Mtn.-based companies requested these, for maximum visibility and minimum weight. Drivers HATED them, companies couldn't get rid of the damn things due to noone wanting them..not too many of them left.

[bravozulu51]

Excellent stuff..

[JOHNBLAZESON]

[mrtaterman]

[mrtaterman]

[mrtaterman]

what kind of diesels would these trucks use?

[dennis39828]

Rocket in my pocket (bi-phetamine 20's). And a rollin machine. Hell yeh........the good old days. I drove for Monfort in the 70's. Trucks would run 100mph. Co.got kicked off Pa turnpike,, Oh turnpike, quite a bunch we had there. That was before the business got infected from truck driving schools letting every piece of crap that had money in their pocket into this business. Now its overrun with morons and homo's

[jgcg85]

[jgcg85]

[cumminsfan]

1:27, 1:34  some of my favorites!

[TheWong22]

great video!

[whammydoom]

my favs

0:22

0:48

1:34

[heatherrose2006]

My Daddy was an outstanding mechanic, who massaged 450hp, to the ground, from an "Old Style 335 Cummins", mated to an "Double Overdrive, Air Shift 4X4" driving 3:90 rearends.

[DIESELFUMESS]

Very Very cool

[heatherrose2006]

It WAS cool but there are times that I have wished I had never seen a truck.

[WarReadyMODzWRM]

@heatherrose2006

thats sick!



[raginroadrunner]

@heatherrose2006 ..the old small cam 335 was a rocket ready to explode..it had a short life span..rarely did one make it over 100.000 miles in the rockies....thay ran good when they ran but were a maintenance nightmare..were hard on rod bearings and head gaskets...Cummins was pushing hard to get them out of their system..

[raginroadrunner]

Respond to this video... many of these trucks never made it into production... 

[024reredrum]

What kind of truck is that at 1:29?

[heatherrose2006]

I don't know what the model is but I do know that it is a '50's International Cab Over with an aftermarket sleeper box. It appears to be a farely recent picture.

[heatherrose2006]

1:04 and 1:20 "Monfort of Colorado" legendary purported triple digit hammer lane (the Monfort lane) cruisers before the term "Rooster Cruisers" was ever thought of. Legend had it that they were banned is several states due to numerous "extreme" speeding convictions.

:28 is a Kenworth CBE (Cab Beside Engine)

[024reredrum]

The company got banned from several states? I didn't know they could ban you lol! Can those old trucks really break 100?

[heatherrose2006]

Like I said that is what the legend was in the '70's.

Several of my Daddy's were triple digit road tractors, from the early '70's to the late '80's

[024reredrum]

Nice! What did they have under the hood to make them go so fast?

[MegaZsolti]

024reredrum:

International Harvester, i don't know what type

[rvrjr7]

love the old truck pictures i am an over the truck driver now and its all thanks to those drivers why we have the nice equipment we do today dont crush them restore the old semis

[texas5020]

I have to see this one now and then, it´s one off the best I ever seen!

[MegaZsolti]

what's that truck at 1:42?

[DamnStraightM35A2]

some sort of peterbilt

[heatherrose2006]

It is the same type, if not the same truck @ :38 without the cargo body. It is a cabover Peterbuilt dromedary truck/tractor-trailer with the sleeper over the cab. I don't know the model year for sure but I believe it is late '50's to early '60's.

[chris1422]

Peterbilt model #451.Only 39 built for Ringsby in 1957.

[vigo894]

Didn't some of these trucks try to run over Emilio Estevez in Maximum Overdrive?

Sorry, these traucks are awesome. I'd love to have the ones in 1:00 and at 1:04.

[lisyanska]

rgggergre

[england1418]

hopefully keep em rolling, love to see the old tools. better looking than their counterparts

[texas5020]

This one sent shivers down my spine.... =) Thanks buddy!!!

[SPUPRR]

WTF is that at 37 seconds?

[harley1450000]

thanks for sharing

[Reezy71x]

could anybody tell me the year of the truck at 1:04

[harryfishnutz]

At 1:06, that's Munfort out of Colorado. Those boys were the orignal outlaws. Ask someone who's been around long enough and they will tell some stories about them boys. They didn't call the hammer the Munfort lane for nothing. Custom ordered KW's out of Denver with the biggest Cats availble and 4 fuel tanks. They loaded beef out of there own plant and went straight to the East coast non-stop.

[5roaddog]

yea i heard if the got a ticket for like 10 over they got fired, but like 20 up they just kept hammerin

[largecarcartel]

love the pics,nice job. my pops had a kw just like the one at 1:10

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome pics! I've always loved old trucks. It's too bad most of the vintage trucks are no longer driving. Always put by the way side in favour of newer, more modern trucks.

[towflunky]

Ive watched almost all of the vids from this guy awsome old school a blast from the past the way trucking use to be wish it still was

[MossyOak83]

i love me some old Jimmys!

[50centdub]

1:44 them are some funny looking whats the thing on top for (storage or sleeper)

[1968spawn]

Thats a sleeper.

[keystrucker]

great collection..thanks

[rustandgrease]

Great, great, great! Love this era of trucks. I will have to watch this a few more times and pause it to check out each truck in detail. It is neat to see what drivers did to customize their rigs back then.

[mackjack525]

Some big gear there mate,nice..

[trikmitruk]

Great pics Terry.

[karl4702]
