Google search will probably tell you I’m gonna check it out now

[mowerman]

I did not guess it was that far back seems to me. It was pretty advanced for 1957.

[mowerman]

And yes, TJ thanks for that

The Budd cab was used by Ford also called a "C" model, but with single headlights. lf you never saw one in these colors you have missed out!    .....Hippy

[Geoff Weeks]

It was also used by other low production makers.

I remember seeing these roadway trucks on the road in the 80’s. The had the hand truck in the front of the tractors too.

I do remember seeing a roadway , but I did see quite a few of them running around 60s and 70s and 80s they were quite common for sometime. GMC also had a version similar. Bob

I almost bought one afford also come from a freight company out here Willig freight lines . It was a diesel engine guy only wanted 1200 bucks. I passed only because I really didn’t need it. I just kind of wanted it.bob

Geoff,

You Are Right!!!!! Almost all the odd ball assembled trucks and many fire trucks used that Budd cab.. About the same as the IH CompfoVision cab in the 50's and 60's..

[Vladislav]

Here you can also see that cab. just "slightly integrated"

[Brocky]

Vlad,

That is an excellent example of the Ford C model Budd cab raised and pushed back to become the Ford H model, Nicknamed to "Two Story Falcon" as the compact car Ford Falcon came our about the same time..

[tjc transport]

and that is a very good looking "two story falcon" too!!!

[mowerman]

Seems they were very popular amongst bed buggers,,, bob

excellent,,,,looks like it does have new tires and rims

[mowerman]

I do believe if you’re going to travel very far to camp, you certainly need something a little newer

[mowerman]

But then again with something that Old, there’s really not a whole lot that could go wrong with it. Everything mechanical if the engine is tight, why not
