Trucks my Dad Drove

[FredH]

Recently lost my Dad and over the last few weeks we have been going through drawer's and such and finding old pictures .

Here Is a picture of his 1st truck he drove for a company that he eventually worked for over 40 years .



A International




Above is His first Mack , although picture really faded , actual color is red





Above is His first Cabover , another Mack . Rode many a miles with him growing up during summer vacations in that truck .





His Last Truck before retirement , A Freightliner , Hopper bottoms and a Cummins KT 450 with a 18 speed 2 stick tranny .





Here is also a really old aerial picture of the grain elevator that still stands today , actually it is even bigger .

Great pics, keep them coming. Man, those old rigs, back when men were men, and the engines were as underpowered as the brakes.

Thanks Everybody , I Really Appreciate your comments . Like Coby said , When Men were Men , Makes me feel real little considering that I have A.C. , Power Steering , Etc... , compared to what they drove back then .

Sorry for Your Loss also R.F. .

I'll try to get another picture in tomorrow , It is of the Old Cat that my Grandfather had for logging when He , My 2 Uncles and My Dad had a sawmill in the Evans Creek area , which is about 30 miles + / - northwest of Medford .
