Here I am checking out my first Pilot House in the late 70's.  It ran great ! Can't believe I traded it for a 40 Pontiac with a slight rod knock.

Came across this one today.... on the SF Chronicle web site:

It would be very cool if they found and reinstalled the old Hamm's sign!

You folks park on the sidewalks out there?

[John-T-53]

Hey....in SF, anything goes! Now days, the SF MTA charges so much at the meter, a sidewalk spot might be less costly including the ticket. Crooks.

I found an interesting photo of a pilothouse that a famous Australian artist (Albert Namatjira) owned.

I saw a lot of Albert's paintings in Alice Springs (Central Australia) when I worked west of there, on oil & gas fields in the 1980's.

It looks like he is all loaded up to go out to the MacDonnel Ranges, where he did a lot of his landscapes.

 

Albert Namatjira (1902–1959), born Elea Namatjira, was a Western Aranda-speaking Aboriginal artist from the western MacDonnell Ranges in Australia. The most famous Aboriginal artist and one of Australia's most famous artists, he was one of the pioneers of contemporary Indigenous Australian art.

found this B-1or2 wrecker while cruising the HAMB

 

 

 

what's most interesting is that this '48-'50 has a Spring Special styled paint scheme, judging from the detail on the back of the cab below the filler neck

In both of the big groups the farthest to the left appears to be an IHC truck. Also nice 49-50 plymouth wagons being used as haulers.
