You think it is something as a picture, you should see it in person. It is a marvel to behold.
Seating for three in the cab and the way up is the circular stair case behind that door in the right front.
It has dual wheels front and back!! The front duals are on separate bearings.
The originals were built in 1939. The surviving were overhauled in the early 50's and all were retired by 1960.
One was bought and made into an RV, but I am told it was a failure. Most were in rough shape by the time two of the remaining were restored one at the National Truck Museum in Auburn and the other I don't know. We got to see it and play at the Gilmore in Hickory Corner MI.
