vision386 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I have a Diamond T heavy hauler. Had to drive it out of the cabinet to take the picture, but it wasn't hard with all those pivot points. Hardest part was backing it back in there again. Tom,i have the very same truck in my collection! only difference is mine is red,green and white..............................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

other dog Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 This Corbitt was on the cover of the new Wheels of Time, along with a couple of good articles about Corbitt trucks.

other dog Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 He used to bring the shorter tall boy to shows, but I haven't seen it in the last couple of years. Here's a picture of them when they used to have the Colfax show just up the road a mile or so at the Greensboro NAPA warehouse. I told Jo to stand by them so you could get an idea just how big they really are. She's not full size though, she's only 5' 1''.Old Bill knows his Corbitt stuff too!http://www.thediesel...ruck_Show-2.htm Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Mike Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've never seen such a truck. Seeing this one with Jo standing beside it. I would have thought the driver had to stand up to drive ,since it looks so tall. Just when I thought I had seen everything. It seems to me most of the shows today are Petes and KW's. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21450-colfaxnc-show/page/2/#findComment-90936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I believe the Corbitts belong to a Mr. Smith(?) from Durham. I had the chance to go through his yard this past summer. Quite the collection of rust including many Macks, IH Scouts, and Brockways as well as the Corbitts.I could not even reach the handle to get into the Tall Boy. It must have been quite the ride back in the day. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

jaysm35a2 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I read thats why they chopped them down for a better ride. It was a great article. Yeah Don Smith owns them , says he's from Greensboro.Do you have any shots of inside the cab? They should have shown some interior shots in WOT.

bubbamobilin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The Carolina B and the Thurston White are way cool but I like the Corbitt cabover myself.
