You are missing part of your picture links. You need a "[IMG]" at the beginning. And "[/IMG]" at the end like you have it.


Here's the way it should look. Just delete the space between the [IMG] & the http .

Chris - you got it. Just follow Ted's instructions for the images. Up above the message entry area there is an Insert Image button, which automatically puts in the <IMG> stuff. If it appears when you are creating your message, it will appear on the post.

That truck is a beast!! I like it.

It looks to be in really nice shape. What's your plans for it?

I haven't seen very many tandems. Most of the ones I see that age are single rear axle.

Are those lights or just reflectors? Are those the vintage version of the reflective triangles used for break downs? Or are they some kind of load lights or something? Either way it's a cool find.

Sounds like a good plan. You've got a nice pair of trucks there. You've got a great start for one cool fleet of vintage stake bed trucks!



No problem on the help. It can be tricky to figure out at first. Once you've figured it out it gets much simpler.


What's the 56 got under the hood?

Your truck looks awesome. I cant wait to see it finished. I love the look of the 50's duallies and tandems. Congrats on the find.
