Found this 1937 Ford and a late 40's International KB model. The sheet metal on the 37 wasn't to bad.

Wow, to think these were the big tricks of their day.
I bet the running gear under them looks like a modern 1-ton.
I sure wish those swooping round fenders would come back though.

I've always liked that year Ford. That style IH was butt ugly. I think my favorite IH's are the "R" series

Steve, you disappoint me, The K series Internationals were some of my favorite trucks. In the early 60s my grandfather ran a fleet of heavy single drive K's with dump boxes, 7-8 yards? They had the 450 engine and were huge gas hogs. He also had a KB 10 tandem drive that pulled his lowboy for many years 'til it was replaced with a 52 Peterbilt with a 262 Cummins and a 4x4 trans. That Pete was the first big truck I ever got to drive. Still wish I could find one of the old K dumps though.

Anything built in the U.S. looks great compared to the new Scania's. Now that's but ugly.

I can think of two trucks that are definitely much uglier a 40's Mack COE and the early 60's GMC cabover. The KB's were a little tractor-ish or farmer-ish.
