the interesting cars in the Disney movie The Worlds Strongest Man

 




notice the Cougar parked on the left



Looks like they disguised the Meyers Manx badge with a 60's flower sticker







and what is amazing is that the Rob Reisner Bathtub show car showed up in the scan of Dexter's (Kurt Russell) mind


with the bikini model, of course

it's rare that I find a business that USES cool old work trucks on the daily job, it's been a couple years since the last landscaping company with old trucks post, but today Hagerty came across a International that's had 219 deliveries so far in ’23, 347 last year


Geneva Materials runs this 1946 International KB-7, and it's really cool to find this company owner appreciates the old iron, as it was what his dad was using when he was a kid. 

Like any vehicle enthusiast, Ron beams when he talks about the care he’s put into the truck. “Originally, she had an 89-horse gas engine,” he said. “I replaced that with a 6BT Cummins out of a school bus—it’s about 160 horses or so—and backed that up with a six-speed manual. With the 3.70 gears I installed in the two-speed differential, it’ll get almost 11 miles to the gallon.”

Some work days are light, with just three or four deliveries. Others are almost nonstop; a few weeks ago he had 12 in a day. That’s a lot of work for any truck, much less one that’s nearly 80 years old.

Ron's daily driver is a '56 IH truck


The one I remembered was using Mack, Ford and Chevy, in Michigan https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2019/03/michigan-landscape-company-owner-gow.html

carpenters work trucks analyzed... what to get and why, by the Perkins brothers of North Carolina


it's been over a decade since I posted about some journeyman/handyman work trucks, ( I can't find the link, it's been a dozen years or so, and I didn't use the tag system back then ) and though I think this is important info type video content, not many pros are out there getting into the why and how of work trucks... they are probably too damn busy staying in business





helpful ideas like this bed extension for lumber... are new ideas to me. Very cool easy attachment to increase the trucks usefulness
