It was used to pull a fuel tanker. The tanker is homemade in 1939, and has been repainted. The truck was repainted red early in life as all fuel haulers. As near as I can tell it is 77year old original. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy Phillip Lott, welcome, any chance of some pictures of your prize? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 | Are you saying that it is a tractor, Phippip, used to pull a semitrailer?

Welcome to the Stovebolt  Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 118 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 118 | That is an awesome looking truck. What do you plan on doing with it? Restore it, or just clean it up and keep the same look? Looks in great shape. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 28 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 28 | Thinking of just cleaning it and keeping as is. Wiring does have to be replaced, rebuild master cly. Restoration it needs, but don't want to destroy any of it's history.
It has a tool box between the cab and trailer that no one had been into since the original owner. He passed away in 1974. I removed all the tools(old-old stuff), took a picture of them and put them back. Tools I have never seen before.
