This truck was at onetime set up with a drill rig on the back in one of our quarries in upstate New York. It spent many years parked in a hedge row then one day the then president of the company saw it and said take it to the Skaneateles shop and fix it up. About the only sheet metal we saved was the hood. Welder fabricated the rest of cab using the rusted parts for a pattern. Wooden wheels were repaired by a local woodworker. My self and another mechanic were given the job of getting the engine to run again. That story could about fill a book.

Took some good imagination on our parts as mechanics as this truck was older than either of our fathers and we had little other than our own theroy on how it should work. It was used for a few years as a parade truck at various locations in the state. This picture was taken the last time I saw it about 10 years ago at an open house at a plant outside of Syracuse NY. I don't know where it is these days.

It's the last of the M models we had at this plant. This was a 1967 with a Cummins 855 and a six speed Allison. It was being used right up to the day it quit moving. I believe the failure that finally put an end to it was a failed flex-plate between the engine and transmission. I had many hours working on this truck over the years at various plants around New York state. Some where I believe I have a picture of it after a major rebuild with nice shinny paint. If I find it I will post that one too.
