  1. Ive seen a 1914 Packard 4 ton truck at a show,

    had a great story too, it was used as a logging truck and fell thru a bridge in Wisconsin or Minnesota, into a lake in the 40s, and was pulled from the lake in the late 80s, in fairly good condition due to the very cold water,
    owner had lots of photos documenting the retrieval from the lake and restoration, and construction of missing parts
    guy had restored it and it was very hi tech compared to the other trucks,

    shaft drive, brakes on the front axle etc,
