Are These The Best Looking Trucks Ever!

The red one on the left is a 1937 International D series. I rescued one from my Grandparents farm with high hopes of rodding it, never did. Sold it off to a guy that said he would do her up when he got to it ( has about 10 projects on the go so it will probably be way down the list).
God it looks so hot there in red with a cut down chrome bumper.

can't beat the v8 Mack Superliners of the late 80's and early 90's looked great covered in chrome and lights or covered in bulldust with 3 trailers on behind doin the hard yards
love the sound too especially with a straight thru system with no mufflers

thats what we have at work still for the army... they are apparently updating them in 3 or 4 years...
theyre tough when they dont sit around the yard like some of the ones i get do and the seals go all hard and leak like a siv...
theyre starting to decommission some of them now i heard the other day...

Mate I lived in Birdsville QLD for a couple of years and just loved the sound of those V8 MACKS with three tripple decks loaded, and pulling them as if they werent even there. They used to pull up just out of town to let the bull dust drop off. they were orsom.

I reckon Jeremy Clarkson's truck looked tough as nails! Haha

I watched the how do they do it show on fox last week and they showed the process start to finish at the Peterbuild factory.

Best two trucks I have seen are both in Vic.



The other is owned by Gunns Panels.
I can't find a pic of that one.

You're not wrong there, I still see a few of the first Superliners in service, in less than perfect condition, but nothing else on the road has the same sort of road presence. Especially with an opened up exhaust. Sounds nearly as good as a Scania!

The Kenworth w900 is the 'bilt's sister truck in the US and they look great tricked up.
