h67st Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was coming through Wytheville yesterday and saw a decent-looking F model being used as a billboard along 77, possibly for a driving school. Anybody have a name or photo of the truck? I don't see many Fs in Ohio any more. Also saw a B on a trailer rolling down the interstate, in mint condition with a custom body on the back...possibly some type of food service body.

BillyT Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's been a long time,67, but I seem to recall that F model along 77 years ago! Do you run 77 a lot? if so did that F model seem to be recently parked along 77? I used to run that route a lot and that F just rings a bell!

Ray V Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It was a sign for a driving school. I don't know if the school is still open anymore but the truck has been there for years.

I don't run 77 a lot...the truck looks like it's been there a while (no engine in it). According to the Google it's for Alliance Tractor Trailer Training...still in business. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49562-f-model-in-wytheville-va/#findComment-368000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Wasn't there a B for sale with a moving body on it? Seems it was burgundy in color. Not sure if I saw it posted here, WOT or where? If I recall, wasn't there an F model with trailer used as a billboard on Rt 36, west of 77? Over by Mason Truck parts. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Jeff M Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Google Earth streetview shows it hooked to twin trailers. Can't see it close up, however.
