Vintage picture of wagons' delivery

All I see are red "X"s

 

LMAO at the stick poking smiley

 

try no.2
















so what motors are in these tractors....any guesses?

 

cool shots !!!

 

That first one is more than welcome to unload at my house.

 

Interesting Pictures and that's more like it.

A GMC hauling Oldsmobiles, a Chevy hauling Buicks, Studebakers hauling Studebakers, Fords hauling Fords and what looks like a Dodge hauling Plymouths.

I'm not real sure on the 5th picture. I'm going to say a Mack hauling Hudsons.

I would say that they are all gas powered tractors, 6's and V-8's. The old Chevy hauling Buicks would be a 6 for sure. The Fords would be V-8's for sure.

Packards?

 

bill, i figured the gm's may have a detroit 6-71 2 stroke.

 

Ian,

The trucks are too small in my opinion for a Detroit. They are actually Medium Duty trucks. I believe only the Heavy Trucks had them back in the 50's. By the way, some of the early Heavy trucks had 4-71's.

that had to be some slow going...espescially with an I6

 

Some of the General Motors 6's had cubic inches up to 503. I believe that was the biggest. But you're right, they might have done alright once they got going but you probably wouldn't want to get stuck behind one from a stop light.

Edit: It seems like the 503 was in GMC only, not sure about Chevy. BTW, I first called it a 501, but it is actually a 503.

I checked with my '47 to '55 Chevy Truck buddies and they said that GMC did not put their engines in Chevys back then. They figured the truck in the picture to be a late '49 or '50 truck. In '49 and '50, believe it or not, the biggest engine available in a Chevy was a 235. So Ian, you were right, it must have been some slow going, altho a lot of these trucks had auxiliary transmissions in them. The truck in the picture could very well have a 5 X 3 in there.

I am 99.99999999999999% sure they are Packards.
