From two-ton REOs to Falcon-based sedan deliveries, this series focuses on light
commercial vehicles of the past.
It's not uncommon for an antique pickup to see almost as much utilitarian use
in its golden years as it did when it was new. This may be part of the reason
for the relationship between the collector and the old pickup being a little
unique when compared to collector cars and the restoration of road tractors and
construction trucks.
Volume I
The oldest truck in this video is a 1913 International Highwheeler, and the
newest is a 1960 Ford Panel truck. And the owners range anywhere from a New
York lawyer with a 1955 F-100 to an 80 year old produce farmer with a 1950
Diamond T one ton he bought new in Tacoma,WA. Altogether, about eleven trucks
are featured.

Volume III From the beauty of an Autumn day in New England to the grandeur of the Cascades, Vol. III takes you from one side of America to the other in search of pickups from the 1940's to the early 1960's. We uncover everything from Dana Jones' 1941 Marmon-Herrington 4WD Ford plow-truck conversion to a high-school student's "diamond in the rough" Chevy. Plus, for those of you who saw "Old Trucks Vol. II", we finally get a ride in Pat Ertel's 1947 Dodge!
Volume IV The younger generation of old truck enthusiasts is well represented in Vol. IV, including a visit to Ferris State University in Michigan to check out their automotive program, and continuing with visits to a trio of young men who are all deeply involved with the hobby. There's lots more to see as well, including an extremely unusual combination truck/trailer which has to be seen to be believed!
