        It would be interesting to find out where and to whom this contract fleet is headed. These 14 pickups seem to be identical in specs indicating a fleet purchase.

        In the background, I can spot a C coupe, 2 sedanets, a Scotsman four door and a Studebaker tractor hooked to the Robert R. Walker car hauler. Nice photo, Dick.[][][]

          Trivial (but what else do we do here?[:I]), but notice the slight variation of the placement of the round windshield sticker.

            Okay, I'm fine now...

            Pretty neat pic. So, they are obviously C2 cabs, have the standard vacuum wipers and there is a Climatizer in the one with the open hood. Looks like there are hub caps, so they must be 1/2 tons (like the title says [B)])...

              Kurt, you're right. Some were thoughtfully placed to the far right, while others were almost in the passengers face. That's a good one for the judges!

                    Trick question: How many of them have radios? BP
                    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

                        I got interested in the car hauler belonging to Robert R Walker. If you google "Robert R Walker Studebaker" you'll come up with some interesting facts about that company and it's liaison with Studebaker.

                            Well if they are fleet trucks maybe they all have radios,just maybe not the kind that would be playing rock + roll.
