Great design in late-40s

That cab was used through '59 with some minor styling changes along the way

I see that Powell Sport Wagon pickup as the predecessor of the Ranchero and El Camino in America, a utility car. Of course, it was the Australian Ute that was first.

As mentioned, these were made to sell as a handy second vehicle for light utility and sportman activity such as fishing. To go along with that, Powell also made mini-cycles, which were coming on as a useful aide to hunting/fishing back country. The perfect combo, the truck and the cycle. I think they made cycle first. There was am old motorcycle company called Powell, but I'm not sure it was the same

Powell brand cycles were the choice of responsible adults back in the day

ive got this 53 International in my garage and a 46 Dodge the green thing is a parts truck for the dodge

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

I like them both. A friend has a Dodge pickup that style, and original patina, he put on an S10 chassis. He daily drives it.

This is not a Dodge

Love the Town Panel

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

I do too! I hope it doesn't get parted too far down.

A few complete running ones

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Little big trucks. A few of the big truck companies, like Mack, Reo, Diamond-T, and Federal, entered the pickup truck market with small versions of their trucks

The little big trucks are cool. I imagine they're rare too. I have never seen one in person.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Aren't they? I guess it's the same a what International kept on doing. GMC for that matter. They made big trucks first. They sure are rare. What I've seen the most are Diamond-Ts. I've seen maybe three or four Mack Jrs in all the antique truck shows I've been to. Maybe six or eight Diamond-Ts and one or two Reos. I found out Reo built, at least, the Mack Jr bodies. Look at the one set, it shows both with the same body.

Saw these "Other Makes" in person last weekend

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

GM Stepside/Fendersides changed style (fenders) with each cab design, except between the '55-'59s and '60-'66s. Dodge Utilines kept the same style from the '53 through the last year offered.

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Ford did the same thing as Dodge. The fenders stayed the same from '53-'79 Flaresides. They did one modernized style change with the '80 F-series

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

I saw these at the Macungie (ATCA) show last weekend

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Nice! I bet it was a great show!

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

It really was. Always is. This one comes every year and always at same place. This year they had close to 900 trucks. I love these shows because it is all kinds of trucks of different age, size, use, and style. You see museum quality antiques. Often you'll catch one driving through. Now that's a real treat. And the people, like everyone you see? Friendly good people willing to shoot the breeze.

I'm on an antique truck high this month, since just two weekends before was the ATHS National Show at Harrisonburg, VA. I posted a couple hundred pictures from that in the thread on that show in Heavy Haulers. Now I need to do one for this show. About the same amount of pics.

Here is a great video off Harrisonburg. The best music

These were at Macungie. I didn't know there were any stock '41 Willys pickups left in the world and here are two!

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Those old Willys are cool looking trucks. Great video too!

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

I don't know if I already showed these REOs or if I already told how REO built the Mack Jrs for Mack. They built some big boy pickups, too

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Must be Europe after WWII

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Wow

Re: Classic Trucks: Other Makes
 

Well, I think the original 6 cylinder has just about had it……barely pulls itself, knocks really bad and pours oil out all over the ground. I know Jasper sells engines because I’ve used them before. Anyone else know of a reputable place that does engines like Jasper does?

Jasper quote was just under $2500 shipped to my mechanic friend’s shop. He’ll be more than fair on his labor charges, but I was hoping to beat that price for a good rebuilt 6 cylinder engine that would fit right in the ‘67. Please let me know if any of you guys know where I can check on getting a rebuilt motor. Thanks.
