Now there's a Christmas story in the making. Ole trucks never die!
Saw a working 49 or 50 3100 in town the other day. It had a small load of
gravel and several bales of hay stuffed in the back. When I mean working,
this puppy had paint worn down to bare steel (So. Cal. farm trucks don't
need paint jobs - no rust to contend with).
Must say it moved my heart!

Hi All,
I have 5 running now from a 47 model to 53 model and I
have hauled rock and material for roads and some grain
plus wood and every thing that you can haul at one time
or another and loaded and empty 50 to 55 seems to be a
good speed for them. All 5 of them has the org motors and
all have the two speed axle. The front seems a little
light when loaded heavy and they do like to wonder just
a little. I have had very little trouble with any of them
as they tend to have low milage on them. The worst
thing I have done is change out a rad, water pump or a
ujoint.
Use and enjoy, I have a 49 model, 5 window, that has hauled
at least a 1000 loads of road material from 5 miles to
50 miles and still runs like it did when I got it.
Merry Xmas
Bill
