Was looking through a pile of old truck parts this afternoon that a 85 year old guy is trying to clear out.
Bought another core engine-Cummins BCII complete, Was a B model cat there but incomplete would
get hammered on cores.

Steve a friend of mine bought a 48 Kenworth-with odd parts something I or he has ever seen before,
It had fiberglass fenders. Pretty rough he can line it up with the other 11 he already has of 50's KW's.

But the real cool thing he had was a photo of a 1942 Freightliner conventional log truck {his family was
in the logging business from the early 20's through the early 70's. {Pretty Friggin Rare Photo} there are
no known working photos of those early Freightliner conventional trucks other than a Consolidated Freight
photo of one hooked to a dry van. He said he had to look at home through his old photos because he
thought there was a photo of it with a load on it. A 1942 Below.

I saw that truck on facebook this morning, someone did a nice job tuning up a rare beast. I am not a big fan of hauling an RV with a big truck, but this would be my exception.

If you ever worked on one--------------you would be looking for a can of gas and a match.

Not much elbow room under that hood???

And with a 3208, you would probably end up under the hood doing something. From the looks of the chrome fifth wheel, they haven't been hauling much with it.

I think I'm not their buyer at $40,000. Sure its kind of rare, but I don't really care for how it looks. How do you get into the back seats that are in the bunk? Dive over the console between the front seats?

I know of three that set in Pasco {Tri Cities} sun rotting, not worth a plug nickle.

I knew of one rotting in a horse field, I'll have to go by there and see if it is still there.

The horses probably tore the mirrors off scratching and chewed the tires off it.

 

[skyking1]

the last 3208 I was around was a water truck with a spun rod bearing, it barked like a seal at the aquarium.

Last N series I worked on was close to 40 years ago, gas 534, exhaust manifolds.

Swore at and off since.
