Today's trucks have no class - compared to these.
It is hard to believe that they made trucks like these.
Some really cool and some not so cool vehicles here.

Some neat ones there, but some are really goofy looking IMO. Really like the T fifth wheel set-up. 0 -
Maybe so, but they get infinitely better fuel mileage, haul far greater loads, and last decades longer. 3 -
I think they were all cool for the time and purpose0 -
Great post.
Love the old trucks.0 -
we live in a boreing but chaotic time 0 -
Had a worked 51' Ford. Body off, frame stripped, primered, powdercoated gloss black. 351C, C10 Automatic, bump shift. Headers, custom frame over exhaust, lifted, white spoke mags, Kelly Safari's, posi rear, 750cfm Holley double pumper, captains chairs, 4" thick Oak bed varnished/glossed, everything else set up to remove rear fenders/side rails with a single long bolt across the back to run as a flatbed. (Which I did often.) Pioneer stereo, JBL speakers, ran it in grey primer (body) forever. Got huge compliments on it all the time. Man, I miss that truck.

Wonder if the drivers would have preferred power steering, brakes and AC. 6 -

That Luick's Dairy truck is far ahead of time, it looks like the nose section of the space shuttle. 0 -
The old sedan deliveries were very cool IMO. Then came the 70's and a Chevy van with wall to wall s.h.a.g. carpeting, stereo system that made me deafer than shooting, along with other unmentionable bling. A mobile bedroom on wheels!
A lot of streamline art deco went into those rigs back in the late 30's, 40's, & 50's rigs!
I enjoy this stuff!0 -
It was a modified 61' Ford Econoline Van for me Brookwood. 1st vehicle, 1976ish Miami. (8 track tapes.) [BTO, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. etc.] Bed in back, storage underneath, two sunroofs, s.h.a.g. carpet, paneling, etc. etc.
Good times.
S.h.a.g who knew? I guess we are British.

What kind and year is the Pony Beer Depot pickup? 0 -
It's a Chevrolet, and I'm gonna guess it's right around a '40-'41 0 -
Thanks, great pictures. 0 -
would love to have at least one of the old stream line delivery trucks
style over function seemed to be part of it0 -
My first ride in high school. Wish I still had it!6 -

That's an early 30's Chevrolet pickup. I could tell by the bow tie on the hub caps.love2shoot said:What kind and year is the Pony Beer Depot pickup?0 -
Back in the day, I had a 67 GMC panel van that I put carpet, paneling, cabinets, and repainted the interior. It had Crager mags and a wild Kawasaki paint scheme.Then I traded it in on a new 76 Ford panel van that I set up as a camper with water, closet, cupboards, carpet, paneling, made screens for the windows, and had silver mylar window coverings to keep the temperature down and offered a little privacy. We went on several vacations all over the east coast and Canada. Had a lot of fun with it.

When I was 16 I helped deliver milk in a truck very similar to the light green and cream colored Parmalee dairy truck. I had to be across town at 3 am 5 days a week. Didn't do much hell raising that summer. This fact had something to do with being in bed at 7 or 8 pm every night!! 0 -
I could look at those vehicles all day!! 3
