    ^^^ Yup. Took me a second look to see that the left one is newer than the right one - wrap-around windshield.

    The one on the left is a 56. The one on the right is a 55 judging by the grill.

    These are actually kind of rare. They are the Ford H-series. They are regular C-series medium duty trucks that have been upsized to over-the-road semi-trucks.

    From Wikipedia:
    Ford H series (1961–1966)
    In 1961, Ford introduced a variant of the C series in order to move into the Class 8 COE market. Named the H series, this version placed the cab much higher on the chassis; instead of being placed underneath the driver's seat, the front axle was moved forward, directly underneath the driver. With the higher placement of the cab, space was available for a larger grille, visually similar to the N-series conventional trucks which were introduced later. The cab cutouts for the C-series front wheels were turned into underfloor toolboxes and luggage space. With the stacked appearance of the H series, it soon earned the nickname "Two Story Falcon." HD-series trucks, with Cummins N-series diesels, were the first Ford diesel trucks.

    The "Two Story Falcon" lasted until 1966, when it was replaced by the W-series COE trucks.

    That's awesome Marshall. Even has the half circle where the original wheel well was.
