The lowered Ford @5:04 is one bada** lookin ride, I like that look a lot...and the fire service Willys Jeeps are just cool, the original utilitarian vehicle...✌🏻🇺🇸
Good News for me, I still have long term memory. Saw many in "Car magazines" from the late 50's to mid 60's. I recall a couple as "Tootsie or Dinky" toys Loved seeing what was done across both oceans. Thanks for the compilation
Excellent pics it would have been really nice to have a foot note on each as to what year, model engine etc. but its extremely cool to see the evolution of trucks such as these are all chapters in the evolution of the industry! I collect and restore both German and US military trucks for a hobby and I find this stuff fascinating and I didnt even notice the music!!
There were FC-150's, 160's, 170's, 180's and 190's. Gross weight was from 5,000 to 16,000 lbs. FC stood for Follword Control. When Jeeps were real Jeeps and not shysters, 😮... 😅 I mean Chryslers 😂🤣😂🤣😂.
Not sure the brand of that little delivery truck at 0:31--but I grew up in SW Connecticut, and the Dugan man came to our house every week--my mom always bought a small cheesecake, and I ate so much, I didn't eat any from the age of 8 until I was 25!--Now I love it!
Thanks for the interesting selection of photos. I recommend watching a selection of photos from the life of Russian truck and bus drivers on your channel.
British Railways owned over 12,000 of these fabulous vehicles. There is a company in Gingagong, Mindanau, Philippines which operates a fleet of 60 Scammel Scarabs to this day. But there are usually only about 40 on the road at any one time. The others being repaired , serviced etc. Why do they use this make/ model? I asked the CEO of the co pany who simply replied "They are more reliable than any modern day mass produced crap" . His words, not mine.
Whole lotta great trucks! But not a single Diamond Reo in the damn bunch? Not even one fucking Diamond Reo? They were the quintessential American made long haul cargo truck of the 20th century until going out of business!!! Maybe I fell asleep along the way but with the distinctive looks of that big front end sticking out characteristic of the "REO" not easily confused with any other truck!!! Also I am going to agree with the others by saying all the fucking ads were a big turnoff!!! The music, who cares, turn the volume down!!!

At 10:38 those tracks were used 4 the model T and came with a set of skies mostly 4 Doctors and the like who HAD 2 get around in the winter Emergencies
Of all these amazing in their own right trucks, the one that stands out to me the most, that I have actually logged over a million miles in the same model, is the customized slammed Mack R Model at 12:35!
The music's kind of a retro rock thing ? -and mostly hard to get Exactly right, covering so many types/ years of vehicle. But I thought the overall video was great. I'm only here for this amazing assortment of trucks and ..Nice job. Not seen Many of these myself before. Thanks = )
toys, trailers and rat rods are not what i think of when I see the "vintage" label. All the hot rod tricked out ones are also a very grey area and not really considered vintage either. Still, overall not terrible. not great but I have seen worse attempts......
#1 one must have been killer to drive,, I mean "KILLER" LOL#2 That Texaco truck was like driving a bomb.@3:03 The Jeep P/U my Uncle ad one for plowing & landscape deliveries for his Garden Center, I remember standing up riding around in the back, he had a wood rack body attached to it.#6:18 that FORD never came to fruition here but it looks like the Euro trucks of today.
A lot of the pictures shown are not very starnge or unusual trucks, but just what they were looking in their days. Only some of the prototypes, customisations and advertising trucks can be considered being unusual, as there was only one or very few of them build, like the Chey Jet Truck or some of the tow trucks shown. And even when some of the deigns built in large numbers look strange for younger people now, they were common on the streets back then and not considered as strange or weird looking, for instance the corrugated iron angular van, known as a Citroen HY van, was a very common sight between the 1950s and the early 1980s in the west part of Europe. I think some of the cars, like the bulb nose Chevy pickup truck, the COE, even look quite cool.
I guess that person must ran out of money after they Jack up the body on the pickup with high suspension and all those shock absorbers that they just kept those 14 inch wheels on it
Some of these trucks are obvious customs. Not all of them were factory built or mass-produced. Fire apparatus vehicles were usually just "accessories" added to existing trucks or chassis-cabs.
You got a damn good job with these finish diesel trucks and buses and things we don't get a chance to see my job keep up the good work and thank you very very much
Nothing strange or unusual about a few of the trucks. For instance the truck at 11:20 was used for selling ice cream and milk delivery. The truck at 11:30 was designed as a delivery truck. There are some truck's in this little montage with stub nose hoods. They were built by Chevrolet and were called C.O.E. (Cab Over Engine). The Coca Cola truck's were not unusual either. Those were used for local delivery service in larger towns and cities. So how are they strange or unusual?
Texaco is really cute. Anyone going to replicate and make a fortune? 1:12 were popular with UK post office. They were very nimble and raced around corners really quickly despite the single front wheel.
You know that scene in dumb and dumber where they’re screaming real loud? That played on a loop would have been better than this music. Couldn’t finish.
Interesting, to say the least. Doesn't the truck @06:24, look like the 'Mammoth Car', from that one episode, of 'Speed Racer'🤔?? And the next one (Chevrolet), one of the models, from 'The Thunderbird's', the marionette sci-fi features, of the '60's??
Dig the music and the cool vintage rigs... but for the most part, there's nothing unusual about them, that's just what trucks used to look like. A typical Kenworth or Freightliner of today will look just as odd and antiquated 50-100 years from now 🤷♂️
The Texaco Diamond T Doodlebud I'd like to find Along with the BR Autotanker too! my fave is the advertising vehicles that look like their products course FINDING any of these unusual vehicles would be hard the WW2 Jeep on rails I would totally do irl! Course keep the regular wheels so's I can drive it on the streets hehe SWEET! the Further Bus is restored! Way to go, dudes!! PEACE!
It's a 6 wheel drive truck for off-roading. The small wheels would roll, and contact the opposite side of a ditch, so the truck does not get the front end stuck on the far side of a ditch, or hole on rough ground.
