Late 30's early 40's Freightliner above. Nice photo BSA.

At first glance, the cab told me Sterling, the radiator said Diamond-T but I think the bumper is Freightliner?

The radiator is actually FRTLNR, cab, fenders and hood also.

I wonder what it was used for and did it start out like that?

Crane Operator will know.

Before my time, but the boom looks like one from a old little giant. the rest looks homemade.

Also looks like they were using fuel as counterweight. Or they worked the backside of beyond, and wanted enough to get home.

Finished stripping the BC-I this morning, Very good std crank, perfect cam & followers,
rods are all good in spec and accessory drive is in very condition.

It just looks that way in the photo, crummy photo. It was a truck trailer on a sliding tongue.
Nothing really new except it won first place for dumb.

It also placed in the top three for ugly.

On Faceplant Marketplace been seeing a ginormous amount of old COEs for sale, used to be able to grab a late 80s Corn Queen even a Eagle cabover for around $4000, now are selling for $12-18000, and Are Selling.

No emissions man, new trucks are good for about 250-300,000 then start partsing you to death as well as down time and labor. Paccar nox sensor that fits in the palm of your hand $600+. During and after the covid days we had 6 trucks down for that POS sensor that was on nationwide backorder for months. Really sucks when you're an owner operator and you still have to make that payment and lease a ride. Them old rides ain't pretty, but as long as you've got fuel, air and squish you're trailer truckin' buddy.
