Pen & Ink Truck Drawings

I love the last 3 pics. The first Diesel truck I ever got to drive was Grandads '52 Pete. Not that fancy but still a nice truck, he got it in '72 to replace the old K series tandem IH that pulled his 3 axle peerless lowboy. It had the 262 Cummins and a 4x4 trans. I think it went to Woodpecker in Pendleton when he passed. If you see a yellow and white '52 Pete for sale down there... let me know. The 50 KW looks just like one I drove in the early 80s for a while, it was actually a '61 but looked just like the pic with 5" pipes. The owner loved to restore old rigs and then turn bozos like me loose with them. She was bright red with dual chrome everything. The Mack is just cool, but it does remind me of the heavyhaul guy that used to haul Cats for Dad back in the day. he was out of Kennewick and had a restored/updated L series Mack. Even got to drive it myself a time or 2.

Getting down to the last of the good ones. Notice the fenders on the REO and Hayes, the Brockways are similar also. The Pete is just a vision of what I wanted my old Pete
to look like. LOL I'm going to have to get the ink out Ron. Running out of pictures.

You and me both... If I tried to draw one of those truck pics, you would be asking "what breed of cow is that?"

:) I finished a personal for Old Iron Habit on HEF this last weekend. I will post his truck after he gets the original in the mail.

I have a 63 L cab B75 model Mack on the table now, it will be a mobile service truck with Rob Zucker on the door.:avid

You certainly are a talented man Truck Shop!! In so many fields too.

I never knew how many different B Series Macks there were. The ones I knew all had the round roof cabs, this 75 looks like a cross between an LJ and a B. I knew about the fender variations, I once drove a B that had a set back axle with the flat fenders like on a DM but it had the tiny round roof cab. There was a trucking company called McCormick down the street from my Grandma's house that ran Bs back in the 60s. When I hit the lotto and can build a huge storage building I'd love to add a B to my future truck collection!
