Antique Trucks

[JESSE1]

A friend of mine recently bought a 1919 International and a 1930 International. Both trucks will need minimal work to get them running. He doesn't plan on doing a full restoration on either truck, just enough to get them running and reliable enough to drive around shows or parades.

Here's the pictures of the '30 International.

I have some newer trucks, a '56 White WC22PLT and a '59 White 4400TD. My Dad drove the '59 when it was new and put over 900,000 miles on it before it was traded in. I've owned it for six years now. The '56 is a copy of the first truck he drove.

Good Evenin Jesse,

I still love driving trucks, I do some part time oil delivery for a local company, they have two new Peterbuilts, and they are a joy to drive !

A good friend of mine is finishing a restore on a 57 Mack , will post some shots when I can !

Thanks !

Neat stuff. Thanks for posting. I really like that 1919. Had a friend of a friend years ago restore a 50's something GMC stakebed. Said it rode so rough that if he tried to haul anything it would shake off the flatbed.

Nice ole trucks! My dad would sure love one of them. Always a feud in the family because he was a truck guy and I like the tractors and machines!:laughing:

Some friends recently restored a '60 B61 Mack. They've restored several tractors and this was their first truck.

I LOVE looking at those old Macks!! My cousin had a garbage business back in Louisville that he started in the middle 50's and he ran Macks the whole time he was in business. It was always the biggest treat to get to go with him on some runs to pick some stuff up. Riding in that truck and feeling all that power was incredible to a young kid. My favorite one of his was the old green '63 models he had. In later years he had his new trucks painted up in Red, White & Blue stripes and they were some sharp looking trucks. I wish I had some pictures of those old trucks...
