Popular Post j hancock Posted May 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2018 Sharp rig. A lot more F models would still be around if they had a galvanized cab. On a rainy day, you can hear an F model rust... 4 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Youre correct about the rust. Too bad because IMO they are about the sharpest COE. Very few COE's had nice body lines. F model and the Transtar are about the best. Nothing beats my Marmon for NO body lines. Square box on wheels 2 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

Popular Post harrybarbon Posted May 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2018 And I would like to add the Inter DCO's, a classic design style, no square box and first tilt cab and proto - type originally designed by the Murty Bros for Diamond T. Each of the 3 cabs - day cab, mid cab and full sleeper all classics. Also note the door design with the longer vent windows, Kenworth introduced these door styles with longer vent windows in the 80's, 25 years after the DCO cab mid 50's, and other truck manufacturers also introduced similar designs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrybarbon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 also the door handle on the DCO, the internal push button is unique to limited Inter models from about 1963 to approx 1966, I have seen these door handles fitted to the R model R190 and R200 series comfo- vision cabs, DCO's, early Transtars, I have not seen this style of door handle on any other truck. The other push button door handle used by Inter from late 50's is similar to the Mack R model and F model , Diamond T trucks with the Inter comfo -vision cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h67st Posted May 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2018 Allow me to cast my vote for the best-looking COE...the H67 is a great-looking cab. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey58 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yes they also had that cool look to them man I miss the old days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrybarbon Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Agreed H67 is great cab as well, typical of the 50's and 60's, they had real style. This H67 cab is the basic LTL and LJ day cab from the late 40's and extended to a sleeper cab by the Orrville Specialty Steel company in Ohio, they made most of the conversions from day cabs to sleeper cabs for all the truck manufacturers during the 50's up to mid 60's. And the yellow colour seems to enhance the looks of the DCO and the H67 - colours can influence what we think about a truck shape and design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Truckshop posted a very nice early cabover freightliner not along ago. It also was yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
