Not sure on year but here is my workman

When Webshots went away, I lost all the posted material I had on this site and several others. That being the case, I am going to attempt to put the photos of the Cycle-Truck group back up.
This is what we have here, and I'll point out the ones that are as of yet unbuilt.
In order by year:
39 Small Basket, 18" frame - box dweller as of this time

39 small basket, 20" frame - rideable

41 Large basket - all original including paint!

46 Small basket

48 Large basket - under reconstruction currently

50 Large basket on small basket frame - soon to be addressed

A pair of '52 models

'57 Ross Delivery Cycle - built from a frame/fork only

57 Schwinn small basket

65 Restored CT2

67 CT1 - 90% Original

And the recently acquired Worksman (bought from here!) Not together yet - in gathering mode at this time. This one has no rules!

And there you have them.... I guess I have a bit of an obsession for these..
EDIT: Sorry, I have no photos of the last Schwinn at all. It may not ever see getting built, so I have not taken any photos of it at all and can't find the ad photos of it.

i have to say these Cycle Trucks are quite impressive, would be nice to see a bicycle company make some of these in a more modern fashion in honor of these rigs, gimme one with a 32" rear tire and 24" front

Not those wheel sizes, but Crust Bikes makes a fork you can put on almost any 26 or 700c frame and convert it to a front load cargo/cycle truck. It’s really really awesome, and well thought out.

@Dizzle Problems Thanks! Checking it out right now, I might have to order one

Hi guys! I've been away from bikes and from this forum for a few years, but I'm baaaaaaaack! Here's the cycle truck I just got back on the road. It was a shop bike used in a Caterpillar plant for decades, before they scrapped it. My dad found it at the scrapyard he was working at, and brought it home. It ended up being in his shed for 30 years(!) before I found it and brought it back to life. It was missing all of the basket hardware and the basket and base, and the drop stand. Also, the rear wheel was rusted almost in two. I tried to keep as many original parts as possible, including the front wheel and hub, and the original rear hub. The skiptooth chain and sprocket are original too. I decided not to pretty it up, choosing to leave the weird Caterpillar paint scheme. The tires are a matched set of older Nirve Bada$$ flame tread tires. This thing is a hoot to ride!

Don’t know if these count, as the truck bits out the back?

 

[MattiThundrrr]

That stretch (tandem) is insane! Nice work. I like the rake on the fork

Updated photos of the Cycle-Truck.
Added a rear rack, leather tool bag, and "Schwinn Cycle-Truck" decal.

Not the best pictures but you get the idea. Made out of scavenged bits (of course) for the cafe across the street from my shop. Cost was a few cans of spray paint and some cables/housing. The rest was stuff laying around. Foundation was a Taiwan Schwinn diamond 5 speed cruiser frame. Going to surprise them with it today, hopefully it won't get stolen in the mean streets of Van Nuys.

Job well done!
I like all the curved lines of the bike. It flows well.
