Coincidental parking of 3 1966 Chevy trucks let me compare short bed, long bed, and Custom editions









the reddish truck is owned by a guy with time and appreciation for woodwork, it's the custom, and has the crhrome work around the rear of the cab, and the big back window

Food trucks, not the roach coach of the recent past.. Chef Miron is cooking in the MIHO food truck. It's underground restauranting. No landlord!




I happened to photograph these shiny new food trucks before seeing the magazine, not from coincidence, but I suspect due to a publicity push to get the word out and draw out easy push overs like me to add to the cool new craze of superb cooking that can go head to head with restaurant food, read the San Diego Reader article (well researched and well written as always) http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2011/apr/06/cover-food-trucks

Most primitive of the mechanized flatbed tractor trailers, a 1910 Studebaker

Looks too unwieldy to be safe, maybe it's that the size of the car is as big in profile as the truck

1949 Diamond T pickup, Cliff was able to persuade all of his family that he would give granddad's Diamond T truck a great home

I'm astonished... I have never heard of a Diamond T pickup til now... it's great to still discover new vehicles I've never heard of






Cool crank front windows, only one gauge replaced, and they all work. I've never seen Diamond T gauges before, the Diamond T semi's I've come across all had Stewart Warner gauges I think

Cliff's granddad owned a lumber mill, and had these running boards helped out, plus the wood on the bed of the truck
Nice black stripe across the doors, makes the truck look great

The spare matches the tires on the truck, and they may be originals, or they may be a 1960's replacement set... pure speculation... but notice the spare still has the inventory paint mark on the top



These hub caps, I've never seen them before... and they are so rare, that when traveling cross country a cousin of Cliffs spotted one on a wall decorating a roadside restaurant, and called the granddad who told him to buy it at all costs!


If anyone knows where Cliff can find a fule tank for this truck, please send me an email jbohjkl@yahoo.com and I'll pass the info along to Cliff

barely holding on, but still a work truck getting the job done in Argentina

the passenger side tires are barely hanging in there, the front seems to be tied down to the rim with twine, and the rear recaps are parting from the tire carcass
