Vintage Big Rig Fever............

[pauly v.100]

Love those old rigs. I always had a soft spot for the GMCs, with the Cannonball Topping the list. I even remember watching the show as a kid.

I also remember seeing the P.I.E. Mightymite in parades back in the day.
The yellow Dodge was mine.

Looking at the Dodge tractors makes me wish Fiat would carry through on that with their five year plan.

I remember reading they were planning on getting back into the big truck market since Daimler kept Freightliner and Sterling in the walkaway.

If you really love one and want to restore it, I tripped over this one while trolling the local CL last night (not mine - don't know the guy):

That would be a nice truck to restore but need to get mine done someday.

Here are a couple of videos of Mack H Models similar to the one I drove cross country twice monthly back in the early 70's. btw, most Interstate highways were incomplete back then. ;)

The one I drove was closer in appearance to the green one, but the yellow one was too nice not to post.
