This image wouldn't load on my computer for some reason last night when I posted about the Taylor company so I didn't know you were at it first. In the second photo I posted it looks like they made trucks like one posted. The counter weight might actually be part of the conversion.

Oops. I'm not sure what happened. It showed up for a little bit. I guess besides being see through, the old chief is a little bashful

It may be like frying bacon. Not recommended to do it naked.

Thanks guys for finding the pics. I thought I lost my marbles. The pic that I had posted (tried to post) was an old black and white pic of it.


That pretty neat that its still around.

Not an oddball but a rarely seen F series truck, a 1953 F900, the largest truck made by Ford in 1953. I thought it worthy to get on FTE.
