Early Trucks


Until around 1900, men had to move cargo and other heavy items by animal or train power. Then............came the internal compustion engine that ran on gasoline. Man's world changed in a flash. Now you could haul logs, grain, farm produce, and just about anything else for short or long distances. The early engines were four, six, and eight cylinders......take your pick. There were pick-up trucks, log trucks, flatbed turcks..........trucks, trucks, trucks. WOW! The photo shows an oldie but goodie. Shes rusty now, but in her day, she was a dandy.
