Transporting New Fords Back When
Here's some pics a friend sent me yesterday. Love to see one with a '47 two ton as the tractor or load, or a loaded '59 F350, or any others for that matter....The tractors here represent the 48-56 page.

Now so many of the big trucks look like boxes and the cars look like a half used bar of soap. Surprisingly, quite a few of the big conventional trucks still have the basic look of a truck with outboard front fenders and a narrow hood. Certainly not like these trucks for sure.

Now here is the fleet we need for truckfest 
I've seen some of Jurkowski's old photos over the years and never realized that I actually knew him back in the early 70's when I first started driving truck. He was from Western New York and drove for several different companies, I knew him when he was with St. Johnsbury Trucking.
In '77 I took a year off from driving truck and went on the road doing tour buses, here is the bus that I took 41 Jewish teenagers on an 8 week camping trip that started in NYC, went across the northwest, including Calgary and Banff National Park, down the west coast to Tijuana and back through Vegas, Salt Lake, and Denver before heading back to NYC.
