Went to the National Antique Truck Show this weekend in Colorado Springs. Kind of a fast road trip, but it was worth it. Did manage to put 1500 miles on the car out and back tho....
One of many restored mid-50's Kenworths...
this was in the parking lot across from the showgrounds, couldn't help but get a photo of that...
A REO, on the auction block...
a WWII tank transporter, chain drive. Massive, only way to describe it.
This Autocar diesel ran pretty well, and has that low slung look....
a very clean Federal....
one of many Diamond T's at the show, there were probably about 15 or more...
a 1940 GMC...
caught Maureen by an unrestored Mack B-61 Thermodyne. Probably the most popular and my favorite body style of Mack...
Another sharp Mack flatbed....
This 30's Chevrolet has a side dump grain box..
an early GMC with hard rubber tires, chain drive rear axle, no front brakes, open
"C" cab...
larger version of the Mack, a B-85
mid 50's Dodge...
solid sheet metal, this will be an easy restore....
sharp little Diamond T 201 pickup. Large hubcaps...
how about a Dimaond T fire truck?
Rich would love this, it is a '68 International Travelall, same body style as his old one. His was a 1 ton chassis and 4WD...
wood spoke wheels, mechanical brakes on the rear. Radiator behind the engine, and if you look close you can see the acetylene tank behind the seat and below, to provide gas for the headlamps...
This is, I believe, a Moreland, one of several I had never heard of...open C Cab, massive engine, chain drive. By this time my camera had crapped out and reset it's date...time for a new camera...
this was a very sweet Diamond T tractor, mid 50's I think.
a "bullnose" Kenworth....nicely done...
