ws721 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I hauled a LM but it didn't have the exhaust like that. The thing was heavy and wide as I recall. hung over a 102 trailer Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

j hancock Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I took the picture of the LM August 2003 with its new owner and Dick Kemp passed away September of 2007.Same truck? I think it is. I don't remember him having two LM's. The auction was 2009 so I don't think the date of after his passing would be correct for the Hanks picture.

Popular Post Vladislav Posted January 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2016 There was also a serie of WW2 LMSW heavy wreckers produced.They were used by Canadians.Had the same style flat fenders but central positioned cabs.

I don't know how many were standard cabs, offset cabs or cabovers.Did all LM's have that exhaust set up? The one I hauled had the off set cab. It came from Newport, N.H. Jct of 11 and 103. I forget the mans name who owned that garage but he had a lot of interesting stuff Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

j hancock Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 The standard cab LM's looked similar to a heavy duty LJ with conventional exhaust. The offset cabs could be ordered either way from some old pictures I have seen.The Newport truck sounds like it was from the Smith Bros auction at the old power plant. I sort of remember the LM but dead camera batteries screwed my day for taking pictures of any of their trucks.. I do recall the DM815 with juice brakes.
