41chevy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 First time I ever saw the Oak in the frame rails and not painted. Was always interested as to why Sterling did that. I learned it would allow more flex in the rails more the a double channel steel frame in log hauling.

Outbehindthebarn Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I was thinking it should be chain drive, Sterling's held on to that the longest didn't they?

41chevy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Sterlings last was in 1953, MACK after the FJ I think and a few Cook Brothers Peterbilt conversions in the late 40's Chain drive was favored for off road work because of added ground clearance. Challenge-Cook (mixers) starting in 1946t o make chain drive conversion kits for single axle Ford, I.H, Chevies, GMC Dodge and others up until 1964.

Joe Ditchkus Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Nice truck and pictures. Looks like big Rockwell drop ins 55,000 or better and Rockwell Suspension also. Popular setup in the Northeast up to the 1970's. Thanks Joe D.
