HeavyGunner Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Neat truck. I’ve never heard of that brand before.

bullhusk Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have a picture somewhere of one of those that colonial sand and stone had back in the 20s I think it's an Internet picture if you look up colonial sand and stone that shows you a couple of those Pierce arrow trucks unloading bags of cement and sand and stone that they were mixing concrete by hand back in the 20s Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53885-1927-pierce-arrow-xb-dump-truck/#findComment-403176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you stopped by to visit. I will do a search and see what shows up for pictures. Now or then, Pierce-Arrow Trucks are few and far between. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

yarnall Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Made in Buffalo New York, I believe. There is a really rough original cab and chassis for sale near me. He wants $2000 for it and engine is stuck. Actually there is no cab.

bullhusk Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 If you Google colonial sand and stone Pierce arrow trucks when the trucks come up hit images and you'll see a picture of a colonial dump truck dumping into a on-site mixer! I tried to get it onto this site but I just don't know how to do it maybe one of you guys can do it and you'll see the Pierce arrow Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53885-1927-pierce-arrow-xb-dump-truck/#findComment-403320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Finally had a chance to search and found the same pictures as Hobart posted. Certainly gives an interesting view of the rough and tumble world of contracting in days past. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

grayhair Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I think this is one of the same. And I believe it ran when parked. Buff it out, add fresh fuel, should be good to go...

I just thought it looked cool so I snapped the photo.

Blastermike Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just an update, spoke to the museum staff the truck was picked up by its owner a while back as it was on loan, i asked if it would be for sale but have not heard back so assuming it isnt available, back to the drawing board, mike.

Blastermike Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Had this engine side panel offered to me for sale, so I bought it, also had some pictures sent of another pierce arrow unrestored in ca, a XB model but its not for sale, seems to be a few pieces still out there to be found? must be a frame out there with a set of front wheels ? just got to keep looking. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53885-1927-pierce-arrow-xb-dump-truck/#findComment-453236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastermike Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Got a freind who has a lead on some pierce arrow parts trucks that along with two other running pierces are all for sale but as one lot, making the logistics of moving etc that bit more of a challenge, the one with the winch has wheels i need but the greasecaps are different and the truck needs its wheels to be moved obviously, there are some other mechanical parts to go with the trucks, Im interested in one of the running pierces and the smaller parts truck has parts i could use, you can see the front wheels were solids but have been chopped and adapted to fit pneumatics like mine, all this comes down to price i guess? mike 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53885-1927-pierce-arrow-xb-dump-truck/#findComment-459212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milaca Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 How about some information on that Mack L-model dump truck in your last photo? Or is it a B-model with an L-model cab?

Blastermike Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hi, well i finally got a set of front wheels and the other parts i needed, as for the mack in the background all i can tell you is its in Massachusetts, the 4 pierce arrow trucks were sold to another collector and he has broken up one of the rougher trucks for parts i bought the parts from him, you can contact him through the pierce arrow facebook page, his name is Artie and you will see his posts advertising the pierce arrows for sale, he could tell you perhaps how to contact the man with the mack? pictures of the front wheels, light brkts, L hand engine panel, gear selector and stick and the cast spring mounts for the front bumper.
