    1965 to 1970, 450 built. It's interesting that in the brochures posted, it says that the R410 features a vertical engine !? Don't quite understand what they were getting at.

    They were also known as the "flying saucer". The yellow one looks like it was a government agency owned truck. There were not too many of them, probably sales were low because they were so strange looking. I hope he does something with that one other than letting it rust away there. Probably one of those "I'm going to fix it up some day" stories, and it will sit until it is too far gone to save.

    I think you meant Alpine- It would take a whole team of Elan's to pull a trail groomer - LOL.

    Bumps.

    Here is one of the tall auto haulers. There were other types. http://www.flickr.com/photos/carhaul/5381240314/in/set-72157623092758591

    Pay your taxes with them.

    No - that is where they live. You don't know Schitt from Shinola ?

    Something like this.... With two sticks and a 409

    The Ford looks good too.
  10. Phase 1
    I still can't quite figure it out. I have been called Schitthead, but I am not related in any way.

    Congratulations ! An A-20 is something to be proud of!

    There should be a group started here. "People for the Ethical Treatment of Spokes"

    There is a picture of Turner's Mack on page 61 of the book Evolution of Cab-Over-Engine Trucks. It states that it was a Mack EQT, although they could have made others too. It was also pictured in a Wheels Of Time quite a while back. The green highbinder has been rebuilt and is taller than the standard height. Normally it would be thought that cab overs are taller, but some conventionals were taller than many COEs. The Diamond T 950 was tall. The Detroit powered cab-forward Dodge C model was up there too.

    That is a good comparison picture of the low and high C models. The hood and cab were raised on the Detroit powered trucks to clear the engine.

    You could get a sales brochure on eBay.

    Meehan would seem to be an Irish name.

    The GMC looks like it is a brand new truck. But the IH is showing it who is boss.

    The Cooper-Jarrett Hendrickson's had Detroit V-12's and were probably the first use of them in a highway truck. There was an article about them in a Wheels Of Time magazine some years back. Interestingly, Hendrickson did not use the DCO Emeryville high mount version of the cab, but the VCO low mount version raised to the high position. Notice the wheel cutouts and grill cutout of the VCO. The C-J trucks also still had the headlights in the VCO position in addition to the ones below.

    Did your grandfather or someone else change the cab? That could account for different serial numbers.
  20. Phase 1
    That's a stout looking B-71. And if I remember right, the other B is a B-77.
  21. Phase 1
    I hadn't thought of it, but John Deere also had the 8010 (which became the 8020). A four wheel drive articulating tractor with a 6-71 Detroit. Built in the late 50's.
  22. Phase 1
    There is another unusual Mack (?) in the current Wheels Of Time magazine in the readers letters section. It is listed as a 1948 and has an L model cab and twin front axles. I don't know if Mack built it or if someone modified a Mack or just put it together with the Mack sheet metal.

  24. Phase 1
    An Oliver with a Detroit pulling. http://youtu.be/VAXzbr9yfIg John Deere also used Detroits in a couple tractors, I think one was a model 435.
