We got car, trucks, advertsing trucks, to cars - but no thread for good old work trucks - until now.

In this thread, vintage trucks (pre-1980). Please add some of your own.

With OP's permission, I will throw in some odds and sods here.
My apologies, it is the day after Christmas and I did not edit the photos I originally posted.
I will do so and repost.

Another Syracuse Fire Department apparatus . . . and one we are proud to still have. It's a 1923 Ahrens-Fox Model P-S-4, still capable of pumping 1300 gallons of water per minute. It is one of 12 Model P-S-4 Foxes ever made, and their most powerful engine. That happens to be me at the wheel . . . driving this beast is a mind-altering experience. The Fox-built straight six motor displaces about 1200 cubic inches.
