My dumptruck is big and heavy. BFT
My 54 is the smallest truck I ever owned, except Dinky Toys and Tonka.
We are really stretching for these truck subjects aren't we? grin
What is the rustiest truck you ever drove? I had a 64 longbed from IL that had very little floor left. It made for good drainage when the cab leaked. The frame had holes in it as well. It didn't fail from rust though. I hauled tons in that thing.
The newest truck?........
wink


54 3100 with 235
62 flatbed dump C60 with 261

Smallest?
Has to be my RC Subaru Brat. It was about 15 inches long.
Biggest? Well, it's not a truck, it was a 1941 Pullman trolley bus.

Norse, I've driven those Cushman trucks at the bomber plant. Years ago they had some with road gears under them. One night on third shift I rigged around the governor on one. You talk about a wild ride. eek No speedo but I'm guessing I got her up to 60 or so before I chickened. This wasn't on a road. It was an unevenly paved factory grounds.

1975 Ford Courier...the Mazda made thing... The P/O had done a pretty good job of adapting a transfer case and 4X4 kit. The worst part about it was the Aluminum head on the 4 cylinder engine. The head warped and the truck never ran right, even after having the head milled. One of those things I knew I should have never bought...but did anyway...I invented more curse words while driving or working on that truck...It never got me home. Glad it went to the crusher...

lesson learned....save your money until you can buy what you WANT....

Biggest I've owned was a 1950_Dodge B-2-HHA 2-ton truck. Was originally a Phillips 66 tanker truck. Bought it on ebay for $300. Had an old oak Omaha Standard flatbed on it that was rotted. Got totalled in last May's tornado. I was the 3rd owner and it had all of the papers, tags, manuals, and registrations back to 1958, too!

Biggest I've driven was a 2004 KW conventional cab, 244" WB, 15-speed with a Cummins 630" ci engine. Fun!

Smallest I've owned was a '71 Datsun 1500 pickup.

Smallest I've driven was a little Mitsubishi COE pickup in Saudi Arabia.

Man, are we ever stretching for truck topics here!! Bring back some friendly political dialogue!!! eek grin :p

Here is my smallest truck. It's my Traxxas Emaxx. My 1953 Suburban will look somewhat like this. Except my tires will fit under the fenders and it'll be dropped 3".
