I live on a half mile of really bad road up the side of a mountain. I vote for the BIG ones. And the bias ply tires are just one more feather in your caps! Holy cow, that's some cool trucks......

very cool pics. I bet it's a lot of fun driving/owning one of those "BIG BOY" trucks.
Ignore the next sentence: Note to self, "get a bigger yard to store bigger toys".

There are some pretty awesome trucks there.
The reflection of Chuck's COE is way cool.

OT, but this picture immediately reminded my of "Are you my Mother" by P.D. Eastman

Photos like that are interesting but sad too with all that derelict machinery and trucks most of which will just rust away (or be crushed, melted down). I hate seeing old cars lying in paddocks, makes me want to take it home and look after it.

Reminds me of a photo series I looked at recently of the worlds 7 biggest battle tank graveyards. Man I saw a few things there I would love to bring home from around the world. My wife probably would not appreciate it in our suburban backyard though. Tanks have fascinated me since I was quite young, but never got to work in them.

That Hahn conversion looks pretty sweet, great condition from what you can see here. What is the significance of that conversion?
