Couple of oddballs near where we stayed in Melbourne. Looks like a Fiat tractor, a 57 Buick Special, a 68 Impala and I think a David Brown. Cars were right hand drive, not sure about the tractors. Also a Dodge truck that looked like it has an International cab..

That looks like a dodge cab to me. Definitely not an IH cab. The fenders fit right with the cab and the chrome strip lines up with the fender. Dodge had a grill like that for a few short years in front. That would have been a later 50's model.

Other than saying the fenders line up you are wrong on all counts.

Dodge did have a grille "similar" to that on North American trucks through the '60's.

If you are going to make a statement emphatically claiming something it would be to your benefit to be right.

Lighten up, Francis.
 
The YT correct police lurk in the background for every post a guy makes ..... beware .... ha !!! Pretty aggressive attack for such a simple
and well-meaning post to begin with, it's not even political !!!
 
David Brown 25C or 30C petrol tractor made between 1953 to 1957 at Meltham in Yorkshire. Austrailia was allways a good export market for DB tractors. MJ
 
That picture of the red Dodge 1 ton, is a Dodge, there was one like that in our area. It's about a 55-57 they had a Hemi-Hrad engine, a option i am sure, but the one in our area, would haul the mail, guarantee it !!

You all are fine with stating wrong information as fact?

How many other things here are posted as facts when they are wrong?

If I see something that I know is wrong I will bring it to light every time. One would think that correct information would be welcomed.

The link in my first post identifies that truck. It is not a '55 - '57 North American Dodge.

These are '55' - 57's.

(quoted from post at 11:13:18 03/21/19) Thanks for the photo's, keep them coming. I don't care if they are correctly identified or not!

How about if you ask a question about a repair or part for your tractor, truck or whatever and someone replies with the wrong info but you don't know it's wrong, do you care about that?
 
Well Clarence, there are different ways of correcting someone (if you think it is necessary). Being a bit more polite would be a good start
for your comments.

I Thought it was quite polite. I didn't call him a dumba$$ or anything else, I just stated that he would be better off if he checked his so called facts before making claims.

This kind of attack over a simple, non-controversial post, is the reason the number of posts have dropped over the last couple of years. I used to be able to spend a couple of hours reading the three forums here that I visit. Now it takes about 20 minutes.
 
That old Buick reminds me of a 57 Special I had when I was in my early 20's and a new dad. They were pretty near indestructible. gm

Attack?? You call that an attack? I can do a whole lot better than that if you wish.

Non-controversial post? The post is dead wrong. That's not controversial?
 
All he said was looks/looked like and he?s not sure,no need to
be so adamant that you are right and someone else is wrong.
If you spoke to me face to face like that on a regular basis,I?d
be avoiding that kind of mannerism.

I call it an attack. And a fairly vicious one at that. There are plenty of other forums on the interwebz that encourage your type of behavior. Perhaps you could take your show on the road.

[/b:75e3594cdd]

Post copied and pasted and highlighted. Nowhere does it say "He's not sure". He does say" Definitely not an IH cab".

Other than the fenders fit the cab and the trim lines up all his other statements are wrong as well.

Seems to be an epidemic of thin skin around here. I thought farmers and country folks are tough and can handle whatever comes down. I know this country boy can.

When you ask a question about fixing your tractor or any one of many different scenarios and someone posts something completely wrong and then you follow that advice and then wind up in a worse mess due to that completely wrong information which maybe nobody questioned or simply just didn't bother questioning, how does that feel?

I get it, I'm not one of the favoured ones here so I can't speak out like the rest of you do, right? Okay, carry on, I'll refrain from posting any more corrections or offering any information which may be helpful.

And yes, I do belong to several other forums of various different interests where members do appreciate getting the facts right.

I have a good knowledge on many subjects but if I don't know the answer to a particular question I will not make a wilda$$ guess and present it as fact!
 
That Buick appears to be a 1956 Century 4 door hardtop. Why? 4 portholes and rear window design. Also side sweepspear, or what's left of it. I remember those cars very well although I never saw one with right hand drive. Wonder what the history of that was? I could hardly wait to buy a new '57 Special until I saw that 3 piece rear window.

I recognized the cab as soon as I saw the original post because I own an IH A-series truck.

Having said that--Clarence, you could have made your point simply by posting the link that you did. The remainder of your commentary was not called for and was more abrasive than it needed to be. "Nuff said!
 
I'm really enjoying your holiday. Don't stop posting. If the information presented is close, I'm happy eh.

There is a K8 International in Barabo Wi.at the Circus Museum and it has a Jeep cab on it and it is factory. Check it out then tell me I am wrong. LOL. Old Scovy
 
I was gonna say that Buick was probably a RoadMaster with four portholes, a Special would only have three.
 
Exactly. However the Century was a Special body with a Roadmaster engine and 4 portholes. That looks like the Special body because the sweep spear on the side (what's left of it) comes down almost to the rocker panel whereas on the Roadmaster the bottom point ended higher on the door. The other thing that makes it a Century (at least in my mind) is the horn ring. It went fully around the inside of the steering wheel as the one in that picture does. The Roadmaster horn ring went around the inside of the bottom half of the steering wheel but went straight across just above the center of the wheel. Also, the rake of the windshield frame was vertical on the Roadmaster and swept back slightly on the Special/Century. I knew these cars very well in that era because I was the right age to take notice and I knew a lot of people who owned Buicks and we had a very good Buick dealer in town. The Australian models are a bit of a mystery to me because anything could have happened that far from home. Was this one assembled over there from parts sent from the USA? Did they observe model years over there the way we did here?
