Glad to hear your road to recovery is well paved!!! Our prayers are still with you. Look forward to visiting with you in Des Moines.

Looks like an air cleaner and muffler sitcking out of the white box on the rear?? Lawn mower engine??

Unless there is a lot of Bondo hiding under the paint it looks like you got a great truck!!

I just received my Antique Power magazine today Aumann Auctions has a big as for the Ted Spoelstra estate auction on July 21-23 in Forks Washington. Listed under the vehicle section are several Macks: 1926 Mack AB vin3576479, 1918 Mack AB , 1928 Mack AK vin 681347 plus a 53 KW WD 585 dump, 1918 White, Dodge military Power Wagon, a Willys-Knight and a 1918 GMC' For more info go to aumannauctions.com

Paul is correct for the pick up line, but I think for the bigger trucks GM waited until the 56 model year to introduce the new cab.

There was an article on Fabian in the ATCA Double Clutch a few years ago.

Yes a 41 to 47 some people call it a waterfall grille but the Aussies call it a jailbar grill

Been Using Power Service grey bottle (Silver??) 100 gal bottle split between my 52 gal factory tank and 60 gal aux tank about every other fill up in my 2014 Cummins 6.7. Maybe i should alternate with Howes???

54 or 55.. by 56 I think(??) GMC had gone over to the wrap around windshield cab like Chevy???

FWD The fire truck man is Gerald Burns, shop address is Palatine Ark and he lives nearby. About 12-15 years ago I saw his garage door open and parked on the shoulder and climbed the fence, Spent about an hour visiting with him. I cannot remember his email address, as I lost it in a puter crash, but part of it is roundengineman@??? He also has a 41 Ford / Buffalo that was stationed at Stewart Field in Newburg NY during the war. and the day I was there he was restoring an 30's Ahrens Fox for someone. Do you have a member listing for the fire truck club? Am pretty sure he is a member.. Hope this helps

Yours are prolly for landscaping, But the ones I hauled were to Wrangler Laundry's for "stone washed" Blue Jeans..

I have stopped at the place in your first old trucks picture.Exit 233 Palatine Ark. A neat guy and has several more vehicles in his buildings, ex crop duster pilot and mechanic, has a 49 Ford F-1 which his parents brought him home for the hospital in as a newborn.. Several firetrucks

If it is designed to go over the side of a bridge, Where are the outriggers???

Neat Place!!! At least, other than the stacks, it looks like he did not ruin the EF.. @ Diamond T's!! What chassis is under the Diamond T with regular headlights?? Ford F-600??? The other one it is hard to tell?? What would those headlights been of from???

Here is one in Western North Carolina.. at the 2014 Arden show with the fender open.

Is this the one on Tony Champion's collection??

And while in Moriarity stop at the big truck boneyard!!

Enjoy your trip west.. Good time of year.. hopefully the snow is over and not too hot yet..

I knew there was a third engine..Just could not remember the size quickly as I was typing..

Swishy, I am saving my pennies!!! Ron Kirk has already told me he can get me a ride.. The Hume was one of the things left out of our ATHS Down Under tour.. Even if we just took a bus down the old road..

A target for the 4 wheelers to aim at and hit!!!

There are more pictures and links to news articles here on pages 4 & 5. https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/events/15950-haulin-the-hume-2017?start=30

NO!! This truck is either a 1959 or 1960. Ford used the same grill both years. The name Super Duty replaced name Big Job in 1958 with the introduction of the made for truck 477 and 534 engines.

Here is a link to a you tube video of this years "Haulin the Hume" this past weekend. The Hume Highway was the main freight highway from Sydney to Melbourne Australia (about 500 miles) and to the Aussies has a similar historic relevance as our Route 66 has to us Americans. It is now a 4 lane interstate but this event uses as much of the old 2 lane road as possible. The promoters of this event have split the Hume in half and run half way each year alternating starting points. This event / convoy / reenactment has become so popular that they have to limit it to about 250 vehicles. If you search You tube for Haulin the Hume you can come up with videos of previous years.

Fantastic!! One of the best looking Ford's ever built... Would like to have it today..
