Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

How about a people hauler. I have been working on & off for 4 years. 1928 Chevy truck with a trollie car body.

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Hey wow man! I missed this till now. You deserve some special recognition for your "creation". That's really cool. It's custom in the truest sense...not following others. Where we goin'??

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Wow that tolley car is cool and ......... that thang could fit a heck of a lot of people. Imagine tours around a show an the like !

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Thanks
I have been recreating the body from old photes. The bus is owned by The 29 Palms Historical Society and named the Hastie Bus. The bus was operated by Jonnie Hastie and was the first public transportation for the Morongo Basin. Google Hastie Bus.
Thanks again for your comments

Kenny,thanks for pointing me to the history. I eat that stuff up. Even better when it relates to vehicles and a man's enterprising ideas. It filed the need for an era after (or at the end of) the horse-drawn stages. I see you have your hands in many interesting forms transportation projects.

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Did I show this one yet?

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Since I have a '38 1 ton without a bed yet, I would like to see more of that truck.

That's the only picture I have and not sure where I found it. It has me thinking,too. You could get detailed pictures of a steel pickup bed,maybe measurements too,and make the pieces. I keep looking for ways to incorporate my woodworking skills with my trucks.

Here is a 1940 fire truck in all original condition we sold last weekend it had 5900 actual miles on it the motor was locked up though and the brakes did not work. I wanted it but it brought more than I needed to spend it had absolutely no rust on it.

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Dang check out the fire truck !

OK, here is one to drool over also ..... looks awesome hooked to the bed bugger trailer !

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

Hey,that's cool. Where did you find those? Is there a write up on building this bed?

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

I did a google image search. I think they may be on Jim Carter's site. Yes, here it is:

Re: Thread #2: Early Hauler Pictures...
 

That's really cool you came up with this. I'm no stranger to Google,but I'm still surprised you managed to link up with this. I haven't looked at Jim Carter's site in a good while.
