Which one are you calling wide mouth, the late '50s/early '60s style? I like how the changed the truck all around the grille from the mid-'50s style. If you mean the next wider grille, I guess I see those as wide eyed

Like the red fire truck.

Those other two almost look like a modern Toyota.

Gotcha. I remember my next older sister's boyfriend had a little blue short bed 6 cyl/3spd when I first got out of high school. I like how the body gets wider at the bottom. They look really stable. Especially the 3/4t 2wds

1976gmc20 · 05-17-2021, 06:31 PM

That red utility box fire truck looks like it has a 73-87 Chevy bumper in front of that diamond-deck extension

**special-K** · 05-22-2021, 08:19 AM

Good eye! Sure nuff is.

I do not believe this White came from factory this way. Purdy dang sure. Could be wrong

Well, I've had enough square bodies to know!

My 73 came new with a painted white front bumper, but a little later when I worked for the dealer I managed to snag a chrome bumper out of the scrap metal bin that had been replaced under warranty for some scratch that I couldn't even see. It was all about asking the right manager for permission

Years later I think I gave the white bumper to some kid who had a Chevy pickup with a totally mangled front bumper.

Now that is bad! I love it!

**special-K** · 05-24-2021, 09:08 AM

Looks like a billy goat! I'd like to see it in action.

Since I showed a White someone did a killer job on building a super tough 4wds out of, I will now show one factory built & converted from new. This is one of my favorite old truck cab styles, it's a dump truck, AND it's 4wd. What's not to love??

**special-K** · 06-12-2021, 08:30 AM

It's hard to beat that White dump for cool factor, but this Dodge W500 I saw last weekend does a pretty close job

Since this was a national antique truck show there was a good variety of "off brand' heavy iron

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-12-2021, 09:05 AM

Some pretty cool trucks, I haven't ever heard of an antique truck show on the west coast.

This national show rotates around the country every year to a different region. Last one in CA was Pleasanton. Since that one there has been one in Yakima and Portland(?). I'd say CA is about due. There is an ATHS chapter, or several, in CA. I'm not sure of the chapter name, but there is one that has a nice show every year. The member who hosts it on his ranch runs yellow GMC with chrome stuff

Neat Ford

I believe all those were Dodges. Great picture. Was your dad a medic? Mine was.

Here are others from Macungie

Thanks. 175th medical battalion. Not sure how my Grandfather got that assignment as he had no medical background. He was discharged a Captain. Just stumbled across that photo last week.

**special-K** · 06-26-2021, 07:25 AM

And more

**special-K** · 06-26-2021, 01:46 PM

Oops, I mean grandfather. I don't know how the assigning went, but I imagine there wasn't a lot of time spent on deciding. Just get 'em over there! My dad signed up at 17, so not much experience at anything but play lacrosse.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-26-2021, 10:46 PM

It is a cool pic Pete.

**special-K** · 07-05-2021, 10:15 AM

I like 'em long. Hardly ever saw any but ever since i watched Daktari on TV in the '60s I thought the CJ6s were cool

**special-K** · 07-18-2021, 12:00 PM

Big Bad Bobtails

72c20customcamper · 07-23-2021, 09:35 AM

Nice jeep

**special-K** · 07-25-2021, 04:42 PM

That's real nice, a bobtail. Form and function. A nice looking job on building a more capable off roader

I can't post in this thread without a picture. I like this stretched out and pickup Samurais
