Oldies at work

It was a case of calling all trucks as massive amounts of gravel were needed for the new pier 6 construction at Halifax Shipyard. Most of the material came in with semi-trailer dump trucks, many with walking floors, but these two oldies caught my eye.

 
 
Ford L 9000 Louisville twin steer may be ancient, but it is still earning its crust.
 
 
 
Even older, the International Paystar 5000 model always appealed to me - the poor man's Autocar?

    Might be heavy and slow, but the pay rate is the same as the new ones and no monthly truck payment!
