Wow, first time I've ever see an "H" configured that way, with the set back front axle.This H model is butt ugly Imho.

Good old "H" model Macks, first tractors I drove in 1966 at Vornado/2-Guys.When you haul Pie you must have a tanker division to haul the filling's.
I think that was Tri following his Loran!Unknown Ryder/Pie driver navigating a dirt road days before asphalt. Nice fog lights.
They were both good freight tractors.
Notice the hood mirror on the GMC, I won it in a poker game with BRG.
That's a Ford I think.

Good lunch HOUR truckKnuckle busters.
I drove those Fords for Johnson Motor Lines and Roadway but I never saw one of those tractors in all the years I worked at P.I.E. Nice picture.Knuckle busters.
Remember the International gas jobs?
Yes I do. I remember driving a ford with a long nose on it #2002 when I worked out of the P.I.E. terminal in Hackensack.
We had a similar IHC road tractor in the 50s with a JT Cummins and 8 spd roadranger on the column.
A real horse, you could run out of numbers downhill, but you ran out of gears trying to get up a hill.
Also had Diamond Ts with the same cab.
Hookman, do you know where this terminal was located?Knuckle busters.
Roady, I can say for sure it wasn't Hackensack!
Might be in California somewhere from the looks on that license plate.
That the spot tucked away behind Riverside Sq Mall now?
That's the one FC. Working out of that terminal was the shortest commute I ever had on any job. Sad day when they closed it and sent some of us to Moonachie and others to Spring Valley. I was sent to the zoo at Moonachie but eventually transferred to Spring Valley, a much nicer operation. Ah, the good old days.
FatChance, that's the one.
Triplex, I felt the same way at the time. Ten minute drive from my house to Hackensack. But being I'm Italian I got the chance to go to Spring ValleyThat's the one FC.
