bulldogboy Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I like that Kingsport ladder; I also saw that "U" model badge on the cab. I wonder what was in that space on the bumper on the Columbus "CF" tractor? Looks like something was removed, a compartment of some sort? Kind of a different location for that light bar on the tractor. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Any chance that the B95 convertible above is a B405 or B475 with Chrysler power? The wheels sure look like the style from those two models. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo was taken over 25 years ago and my information gathering skills in those days were rather weak. The wheels may have been a clue, but not definitive. I have seen B-85's and B-95's with the disc wheels, but in this case you are correct. I found a couple photos of B-475's that went to the Navy that are literally identical to the Gwinnett rig, with the exception of the chrome pump panel, which could have easily been added at a later time. There were 42 B-475's built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
