How Many Pilot House Trucks Have Survived?


Recommended Posts

I have several other detail pics of that B-1 flatbed and it is a modern unspectacular unit with plastic sidemarkers and a ho-hum square frame...the tada bed has the radiused perimeter steel with the mounts for armored marker lamps with glass lenses, but it has no apparent evidence of pinstriping that was the rage back then..

B-1 Panel Truck spotted at that Big Spring Auction, it was quite the fixer upper...saw it getting dragged off when I rolled up to pick up my items, then saw it a few weeks ago on the FB DPETCA page up for sale...anyhow, tried to get pics of the interior but the lighting was terrible...wood floorboards were surprisingly intact...

I see you hid the lower grill bar strategically.  LOL

 

NAW, just didn't have time to stop and get out of the vehicle.

I drive through Hartsel a few times every week,

Tuesday I had to actually get off the highway to look at an upcoming job in town.

First time in thirty-some years I actually didn't just buzz right through.

Next time I go through I'll stop and get some better pictures.

 

If anyone's around I'll get info on it if it's available.

co-worker was at the Gathering of the Green last week and saw this pilothouse with a Deere engine transplant there:

Spotted this ol' buggy at the corner service station in downtown Belton but couldn't exactly pull in to ask about it with traffic...went back later and just like that, it was gone ...
