If you had a show rig, I guess you'd transport it to shows on a cool rig like this

I found a great new "old semi truck" website, "I'm Liking Trucks" blogspot

enjoy it! http://georgedennis.blogspot.com

and a cool post I think exemplifies the cool stuff George Dennis posts: http://georgedennis.blogspot.com/2012/02/look-whos-driving.html

Coolest transporter I've come across in a long time, the Dunkel Brothers restored a 1947 Mechanical Handling Systems trailer transporter and a 1949 GMC rig

maybe there ought to be a couple more safety inspections on trailers, I'm just sayin!

1957 REO model A630 sleeper cab, showing the design so different than Mack or Peterbuilt

the last of the C cab Mack trucks, a 1939 model FG with a Quick Way crane

It was impossible to take a better photo of this huge truck in the building. The damn back lighting from the windows is frustrating too.. and all the clutter. But hell, it's still worth looking at the photo to get a glimpse of such an old workhorse.

I can't fit in much at close quarters

One of many impressive and cool rare old trucks at the Motor Transport museum in Campo, between Arizona and San Diego on the interstate 8

1946 Ford Model 69 Texaco fuel tanker truck... I want one! I found one! I can't even think of ever being able to afford it

1923 Mack AC Bulldog, dual chain drive and dualie tires... operable and restored. Stored for most of the last 70 years

I didn't know before this that the Mack was a truck made by the International Motor Co, and that the IM in the center of the hood was symbolic of International Motor

I haven't seen this design of steering wheel before, rivets or screws holding fasteners to the rim from the spokes.

Everyone loves a big diamond right? This is the largest Diamond T ever made (1954 model 921). If I'm wrong, prove it.

This resides at the Motor Transportation Museum in Campo, and if you have knowledge or photos of this truck while it was in use, please let me know, and I'll pass it along, or email them direct. Or both!

a cold day, a Chicago fire, and the water used to douse the fire instantly froze on everything

FIRE AND ICE

Chicago-based Photographer David Schalliol

The Frozen Aftermath of a Chicago Warehouse Fire. Temperatures were so low during the fire that water sprayed on the building froze almost instantly leaving behind a spectacularly beautiful ice-encrusted wonderland. [Via:thisiscolossal]
