I have four Maple Leaf trucks, a 1937 2 1/2 ton, a 1943 3 ton, a 1946 3 ton, and a 1950 3 ton. What is the serial number on your latest? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | Don't understand how scrappers think. They see $400 in molten steel where anybody with half a brain sees at least $3000 in parts! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | Parts...definitely. Strip that thing of anything useable and send it back to whence it came. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 20 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 20 | That's a nice collection of Maple Leafs 3B.
The serial # is 2167302206 and model 16-73
Looks like the AD bus is also a Maple Leaf, I couldn't make out what the hood side emblems were at first (the emblems themselves are gone and only a ghost image from many resprays is left).
