The second pic is a truck with a corn sheller on it. The truck would be set up along side a corn crib, a chained conveyor would be set alongside the crib and the work would begin. The big tube shown there would blow the shucks and some of the cobs into a pile while another small chain conveyor would take the cobs off to another pile. When we were small my brother and I would each have a tractor and a manure spreader to catch the cobs and then take them and spread them on the farm lanes. Farmer gravel we called it. Later the shucks would be used for bedding livestock. An auger would take the shelled corn out to a waiting wagon to be hauled away and put into a grain bin or just sit in the wagon waiting to be ground for feed or hauled to the local elevator. A lot of work to hook and scoop the ear corn out of the crib. The last time I did that was in the late 60’s before combines became common.
That first one is not old Cederq
#7 Another one of those strange Dodge Trucks with the Forward Cab that was from the ’60s A-Series Vans..
That black ’59 Rack Truck is pretty stylin’.
I like it.
Father had a Corn-Popper like that blue-green one, except his was a really faded red.
Had a 348 and a four speed.

More 4X4’s please Dodge’s and IH
What make is that blue pickup?
Looks like an International.
Fourteen:
1963 IH Sightliner semi-tractor.
Bottom of the doors clear the fender tops by a nostril-hair.
.
Similar to the 1996 Ford CF8000 we converted to our ExpeditionVehicle.
In snow, the doors drag against the accumulation.
In icing weather, we may as well go sit by the stove and wait for spring.
Unless, of course, that fender-top ice happens while we are traveling.
In that case, we crawl out the window…
… contributing no end of amusement to by-standers.
