Popular Post other dog Posted April 28, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2012 Some oldies but goodys. The back story-I had to go to Pamplin today to a baby shower. Is a baby shower the most boring thing you can do? Anyhow, my youngest son's wife is in a family way. Rained most of the way there, but I didn't see it showering any babys.As usual, I was looking for U-models all the way but didn't see a one. When I got home I looked through my photo albums to see if I had a picture of the U-model that was parked beside the C-model that was in Concord but didn't see one. Found some other neat pictures though, even a John Deere scraper.These others came out of The Trucking Pioneers books, lots of Macks, even U-models. Others are just favorites, like the whole Smith & Solomon fleet of D860's, the lineup of highbinders, Cannonballs, and the CBE Kenworth. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Truly great set of photos'. I like the C model of Nelsons and all those P I E cab overs. I see they are GMC's in one photo but what are the ones with the flat fenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Great shots, love the freighthaulers. The U looks excellent in Eastern's colors.All I remember of Smith and Solomon is black and white KW cabovers. IIRC, they opened a driving school after they quit trucking, using the same equipment.

Drove an old Diamond Reo and it was like sitting on the floor boards and peeking over the dash board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Some nice pictures Tom! i used to pick-up at the very same building where the Smith&Solomon GMC's are sitting in New Brunswick,NJ, at one time they still had a few of those around for spotting trailers. They closed down a good many years ago,and opened a truck driving school,which i believe now is also gone. I never knew until recently that most of the KW CBE's were sleepers! kinda like a coffin behind the second seat,not for me,thats for sure,being a bit clostrophobic (spelling?).....................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Teals is a local company still going in Watertown, which is not very far from me and Utica which is about 40 minutes away. They use CH's, some Visions, and a couple frieghtshakers.

other dog Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Ya Ok Uncle Rob. I guess your right. Hey Otherdog, what books were all them U's in. Papa just bought what the website had for that series. They didnt have some of the books.I got the whole set when I ordered them about 6 or 7 years ago, which was volumes 1 through 8. I know there's been at least one more volume published since then, maybe more. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
