1920 Packard 7-1/2 Ton Truck - Restored & Running

[tjeerd2006]

This Truck belonged ones to Don Letson who restored the Truck! He's driving this "beast"!

I saw this Truck back in '06 and was impressed!

Not much (if) faster than a horse; but it didn't have to be cleaned up after. xD

It's a beauty! :))

Thank you for sharing. :))

Its slower than I thought it would be...

@Kagaines He's still in a fairly low gear. I would guess that this truck would top out around 25 to 35 mph. I've been told that when this truck and similar open cab trucks were new, there was a gentleman's rule between truck manufacturers that solid tired trucks would go no faster than 18 mph, and pneumatic tired trucks could go faster, around 30 mph.
