The Ford Barn

jerseyboy · 07-29-2010, 12:13 PM

I was driving back from a meeting with a client today when I noticed this lot with six to eight of these trucks. One looks to be a ford, not sure of the others. Looks to be multiples of the same, and in pretty good shape.

These trucks are located in the Enfield , CT area.

Just thought I'd share.

Hey I live in Enfield...do you know what road that was on?

Rt 220, just before the corrections facility.

Most in your pictures are Corn Binders (aka International Harvester)

Uncle Bob, that's what I thought, but wasn't certain enough to state it. Looks like a nice bunch of trucks though. Wonder what their story is?

Some look like Federals. Not seen them in a long time, but my father used to drive them.

There appear to be at least one and maybe two Macks mixed in with the Binders. Two of the Internationals appear to be KB-1 models. All were very good pieces of equipment in their day. They'd run rings around similar Fords the same age. Much heavier construction throughout.
