New Truck

[herringchoker]

nothing like the sound of a big flathead White engine with dual exhaust manifolds.

Love what you are doing with those old Whites. It's been 50 years since I heard that sound; you're right - there's nothing like it.

Here's a video I made of the first time the truck's moved under its own power in 25 years. 1964 White 42 - YouTube

Oh yeah! Sounds good, especially after sitting all that time. Thanks for posting.

Love seeing pics of your trucks!!!!

Very cool. It has a unique sound.

Showing off its new tires. I had to buy Chinese tires because no one here makes bias ply tires anymore. I would have had to replace the wheels if I had changed to tubeless. Also a picture of my fleet.

Looking good!

Here's another short video of the truck. The sound you're hearing as I pass the front is the air compressor. Now you can say you've heard a White 477 ci 6 cylinder flathead engine running. MVI 2262 - YouTube

She sounds good for a 50 year old truck! Nice work! :drink:

 

[wmonroe]

Unique but excellent sound.

I used the truck to pull a trailer I sold onto another trailer. Probably the easiest load it ever moved. I sold the '48 American trailer that came with the truck to another collector who plans on restoring it.

Do you ever haul hay with the old trucks?

 

[JESSE1]

I've hauled some loads but it's easier to just hook up my pickup. No air conditioning in the old trucks!

Show season has started. I've taken the trucks to a few local car shows. We will be participating in a large tractor/engine/truck show in Henderson, Texas on April 20 & 21.

I really enjoyed it when I went years ago, but with my wife in the hospital it's probably not gonna happen this year.
