Just found this. DELPHOS, 1926-1950s — When R.M. Kincaid left B.A. Gramm and his son W.J. Gramm, the business was reregistered as Gramm Motor Inc. They made trucks between one and five-ton capacity. Some of their buses were powered by Willys-Knight engines. The Condor truck appeared in 1932 and was identical to certain Gramm trucks until 1934 when a new range of Gramm trucks appeared. By 1936, larger Gramms were built, up to seven and one-half ton. In 1939, a new range appeared with the company now being called Gramm Truck and Trailer Corp. Eventually the company left motor truck production and switched to truck trailers only. After a large fire in the early 1950s, the firm rebuilt and later moved to Lima, selling the Delphos plant to Fruehauf. After Gramm Trailers moved to Lima it closed its plant and went, out of business. This led to the starting of a new business. E & R Trailer Sales and Service was started in 1959 near Middle Point by Ervin Hesseling, who had worked his way up at Gramm Trailers. E & R sold Gramm parts to truck owners all over the world.

I'm not real familiar with the history of Gramm trailers,but you sure don't see many.

Good shape,looks just like this one in the ad,will get pics for serious buyers,single axle,20" spokes,side door,$2500 obo.

Rare piece of White truck advertising,good shape,Mustang is a smaller version of the actual hood ornament .$200.

I have no clue what a trailer like that would cost,but that don't seem like a bad price to me.

in the back yard

Was saving this for my '82 RWL721,but decided I might as well let it go,only got half what I was asking and even less than what it was worth,but at least I sold something.

looks like a 237 to me

Typo in the year,I'd say.More like a 1970

just like the 12 speed only without the deep reduction for 1st gear

most likely a 10 or 12 speed Mack.

I never gave the length a thought. That may be why they never offered a 6-71 in a R600,only the R700.

damn that looks good,who did your door panels?

I don't know, Dad's '80 didn't have them.

Our '78's had those front mounted directional lights. That truck musta had some serious modifying,the model # shows it should have a 6V92 Detroit

I think I have one or 2,I'll look and let you know.

Most of the east built ones I've been around it seemed the dash shook apart . I know Mikey was tightening screws daily in the one we have.

A 6-71 would be pretty cool,they are only 426 cu.in. where you have a 510 now,I don't think the frame would give you any issues.

Their main business is towing and recovery,it will be a tractor,they have a RGN and a Landoll,also do a little flatbed work.The R model is replacing a CH. The CH is getting turned into a wrecker,replacing a White Construktor.

The truck had a bad trunion,they had an air ride cutoff so they cut it in 2 and welded on the cut off,added a little ove 2 feet to the wheelbase

no,they are doing it themselves

Thanks

I don't like those at all,either,but the good part of the deal is that I get the old one back
