I once used it to tow the JCs Santa float in our Christmas parade, put it in low range 1st gear and with the hand throttle on the dash about 2000 rpm was a good walking pace. No need to do anything but stear.

Here is a work truck for you



1962 Ford C600



Grandpa bought it new in 62, has a 292 with a 4spd. Is still in the family.



This is my first post here, but couldn't resist posting the big truck.

Here is a picture of John's rig, in the car hauler form.

Thanks, Charlie, for posting the picture.  With the trailer in the background, it looks like the truck is a tri-axle.  Hmmmmm.  That's the tail end of my Bird visible behind the car.

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

The tri-axle illusion is a part of the reason I took that picture. I wish I had noticed the positioning of the trash can. I would have made it look like it was all being balanced on it. The other part of the reason is that it is just cool! Old race car being carried by an older truck.

John, what color is your 57 Bird?  It appears to be similar to mine.  Mine is 74 Lincoln Mark Dark Moondust Firemist metallic. Thank you, Charlie - Central Fl.

Charlie:

It's Thunderbird Bronze, the original color for it.  It has the supercharged engine, I have raced it in pure stock drag races.  It was at Columbus in Charlie's pic because I loaned it to Gordon Payne to race in the Y shootout.

So cool to see some big/working truck pictures. I'll see if I can scan in some of mine pulling my 89 F150 cross counrty with my Uni.
