  1. Zarra from Glen Cove, Long Island. I understand they had 4 or 5 of them. This photo is from a member here whose name slips my mind now. Cab matches the one at Gerharts.
  2. I have the original photo. It was taken in 1917 on Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC and it a Street Cleaner
  3. It a Step Down Converter / Transformer from 24 Volt to 12 Volt. Some trucks, most Military trucks and many Boats over 40 feet run them. for 24 volt start and 12 volt accessories in the cabin. West Marine, NAPA should have them if you need a replacement. Being a step down transformer it takes a lot to burn it out. Paul
  4. He raced Indy in 1931 in a Deusenberg bodied race car and took it to run a Brooklands in 1932 and "tour" Europe. Ran at Daytona Beach diesel land speed record in 1930 in a Cummins powered 1925 Packard. He also has a Cummins powered entry in Indy in 1950 and in 1952 that qualified at the pole position His Diesel powered REO Streamliner Tractor and Curtis Aercar were hie crowning build IMO. click me
  5. Carey in Fredricberg? Me personally, would want an original, but that's just me. Steel Master made 3 versions of the Dump plus a Fire Truck. A "one ton" for up to a 7 year old , a "3 ton" for up to a 11 year old and a "5 ton" for big kids up to 200 pounds.
  6. Chessie Cummins was what then would have been considered "excentric" In 1935 he put his all Aluminum Diesel in an Auburn Convertible Sedan. click pics
  7. Conifer Tubing is DOT approved and looks like what is in those photos. It is an 85% copper, 10% nickel, 5% iron alloy made for hydraulic and air systems. NAPA sell it as Universal Copper Nickel Hydraulic Brake line under their Balkamp line. NAPA also has the DOT approved and DOT marked air brake fittings for the line. About $400 plus for a 25 foot roll. the product has a .031 to a .039 wall thickness. The ones on my B were .049. I'm doing plastic when it's to that point. The reason being the Conifer lines don't have the tolerance for expansion, contraction, vibration and chaffing that the OEM line did unless you add to the length and clamp with the steel/ nylon clamps every few feet and add a wear jacket for the rub protection.
  8. According to one of the White House Liars , Spin Doctor Spokes person the true estimate is 30 million "undocumented emigrants" from all over the world in the U.S.A. of which as per the spokesman only 15 million are Hispanic.
  9. Nice in the article they average the price of Diesel Fuel at 6 cents a gallon and said it was probably too high and estimate!! http://theoldmotor.com/?p=108090
  10. I've looked at a few at Hersey, too beat up and too much money. The one is the photo looks like a Murray / Steel Craft but no hood louver stamping.
  11. Not only capacity but Sterling lasted so long with chain drive because it also gave them more ground clearance off the paved roads. I've got photos from a show of a chain drive Peterbilt logger too. Paul
  12. Bingo. click me Here it is in Easton, Pa. 1946 In 1950 converted to a box truck
  13. American National was the big manufacturer in the 20's / 30's Their style hub caps.
  14. Used by company from the late 1920's and still used in 1950 I'll give the answer in a few days if no one guesses it. Paul click me
  15. Copied this from E pray Bay 1942 photo of and Oregon Log Hauler.
  16. I bet my English ancestors used it to grease the cannons during their privateer days in the 1600's . . .
  17. It's a tattle tail, old school recorder for the driver.
  18. Graingers sells clip on lead weights from 1 to 6 ounces for medium and heavy trucks. they may be what you need,
  19. I thought engine number since it matches the power plant in it. It was listed as the VIN at another auction site. Probable titled at some point with engine serial number because they couldn't or didn't know about the number on the rail. If it was from Harrahs Auction in 1982 it would have been sold with a bill of sale only, so that may be when that number appeared. The Franklin we bought at the auction had the year, make and engine number only and NY registered it by that number not the real VIN.
  20. Got to confess this is one of mine . 40,000 original miles was used for harvest until 3 years ago when some "bored hunters" for NYC shot the crap out of it. I get so mad every time I see it, I avoid it now. Course it fits with my pair of round2its . A B model dump and White Mustang tanker that are now in a little forest with 2 cranes, a Cat and Ford Dump for company. . .
  21. Scrapple, Grits, Salt Dried Cod don't get more tastier then those three.
  22. Duals 5.00 x 38. I saw that also and blow it up to see. AC Fire trucks had "vintage super singles" though.
  23. Before the bus was Horse Drawn Wagons to about 1905.
  24. Renault- MACK FR-1 City Bus and PR-100 Interstate made it to production and sold in North America and Eastern Europe as MACKs. The FR-1 was popular with Pan Am and American Airlines as Airport Shuttle buses. The PR-100 never could compete with the other Bus makers in North America.
