Popular Post other dog Posted October 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2022 How about this unit? I heard it running but they shut it off before I could get any video. Sounded like a race car, I would never guessed it was a 903 Cummins by the sound, until I saw it. It sounded awesome. 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted October 24, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2022 Here's the link to the truck show pictures from Colfax, N.C. Just click on the picture. I could have left out a few of the Frederickson truck, I must have taken 800 pictures of it. I did like it though. It's about time, huh? 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I'm almost positive ...if they aren't, they're Federals I'm pretty sure they're Corbitts though being where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty positive there is no possible way to buy a brand new regular cab, long bed, 2wd, base model, base engine, half ton truck for less than $35,000 today.

The Thurston is a Corbitt, but I think the wrecker is a brown. Those two super-tall cabover Corbitts used to always be there, but I haven't seen them in a while.

Corbitts. thats it!!! i had a brain fart and could not place the brand. at first i thought Federal too, but Federals never had the vertical bar grills. OD, if the AT wrecker is indeed a Brown, it is a rebadged Corbitt from the early years.

Mark T Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Seriously, looks like without a trailer it'd be dangerous if you stopped fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I always felt that way when I used to transport Post Office Macks from Portland M.E. to Portsmouth New Hampster... Even topped out at 55mph. I thought I would be on my nose if I had to slam on the binders... jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted October 24, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2022 https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/brown-beauties This tells the story of Brown trucks. At first they were built just for Associated Transport, who ran mostly Corbitts, then they were offered for sale to the general public. 2 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Years ago peterbilt here in Tulsa was building a glider kit for some one and it was short wheel base.They had just unloaded it in their yard and they take it inside for the work to be done.This was a cab over no rear axle or engine.Some one started raising the cab and it flip over forward and the frame rails went in the air and the cab hit the floor. 2 Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
