no.2 is a modern electric (ugh) “copy” based on a 1950’s Morris Commercial J type half ton van. They should at least have kept the split windscreen .
Definitely strange today
Ya know, you have to reach back in the closet and get rid of stuff that is cluttering the closet… So weird today is the norm.
Dodges are just flat-assed ugly.
It’s an acquired attraction.
August 25-26 was the yuge annual open-house and truck show at Pacific Northwest Truck Museum in Brooks, Oregon.
Exit 263 on Interstate Five.
.
These enthusiasts have probably a hundred acres of displays… some very odd, such as:
* the building dedicated to dozens of simultaneously-running one-lung hit-n-miss engines,
* the massive shed with the operating timber trimmer, the operators mere inches from the six-foot spinning blades — one operator riding the eight-foot across log [shudders in anticipation of inevitable disaster]
* the entire running machine shop with every tool spun by an insane amount of moving flopping leather belts from a single overhead drive-shaft
* the ‘mile’ of antique restored Kenworth
* the ‘mile’ of antique restored Peterbilt
* and so forth.

I discovered them after I noticed a lot of similar traffic on the freeway.
Self thinks “Garsh!, something is happening without me!”… and the game was afoot.
Can you imagine passing a rest-stop and seeing a 1938 Dodge semi towing a 1946 semi-trailer flatbed with a 1927 Chrysler pickup strapped atop?
Stuff like that gets my attention!
