Some Dodge trucks I have or had.

1944 carryall, I put the closed cab and M 37 bed on. (1972),

The WM300 belonged to a friend of mine.

1941 ambulance (1973) Had this one for a couple of years, sold it rumor in went to Hollywood CA (movies)

1952 WM300 had fire equipment on it and less than 6000mi. (1990). Traded it for a LT Mack and I was told it ended up in New Jersey.

1943 WC63 weapons carrier w/ winch and someone put an early 60's dodge cab on it. (1979) 6x6 configuration, and I still have this one.

I liked them, but not my favorites,

FW

Does any one have any pictures of White Oak Construction? not sure of their location.

Your truck has a nice "fish belly" frame, I wouldn't change the wheel base if it were mine, nor the single air cleaner, stack, and horn. I have bought parts from Jack, good guy, and he sold you a nice truck.

FW

Nice, very lucky to find one like that.

A few more;

It would be pronounced "Cell-E" if that makes any sense!

My Great grandfather's name was Angelo B. Celle. In his native country (northern Italy) it is pronounced "chelly". In America it was pronounced "selly or sell-e". With Eugene and Carlo it would be "chell-eye " Like you stated it is pronounced "Cell-E", and yes that makes sense.

Some information about the Wain-Roy company and their backhoes. They were located in Hubbardston MA which is 2 towns from where I live, and remember the building built in the 50's I would say and torn down about 7 years ago. This is where the first hydraulic tractor backhoe was manufactured , with the idea ,invention, and patent of Wanio and Roy. ( see Wikipedia "backhoe") for the time line of this. I remember them on Oliver, Fordson Major, and Ford Industrial model tractors. The Ford agricultural line where fitted with Sherman trenchers and other add-on units.

They had a signature design and configuration and RFCDrum your tractors appear to be Wain-Roy units made for Ford. The Ford built backhoe changed the configuration of the boom and stick cylinders.

I know Roy's two sons, and more interestingly in about 1959/60 the salesman for the new company Wain-Roy, Ken R. lived up the street. I distinctly remember him showing my father, and I was there of course, a working scale model of a Ford tractor with the new Wain-Roy backhoe. (about 1/16-1/12 scale). I am told this is what they took to Ford to demonstrate their new product.

Made in the USA.

FW

I like the scale models just as much as the real ones, and like the Celli paint scheme and all the different models in his fleet.

Again nice pictures.

I talked with Barry (the lead moderator) and now know why I'm unable to load more brochures. For any given member, we are limited to a fixed amount of upload space and I have reached that limit (I get the message "You have exceeded your allotted disk space for attachments"). Barry explained that I could either make a donation to BMT and become a VIP member, or remove some of my current picture uploads.

As I feel that people, both newcomers and long-time viewers alike, use this forum as an informational reference (a library of sorts), I feel it would be detrimental to the website if any of us remove our previously uploaded pictures of brochures and trucks. I feel as though I've already made a donation of sorts, taking time out during the busy week to make some high quality scans of now rare brochures, both Mack and other. It's been my pleasure to do so, but apparently that ends here. I have to respect the BMT's system, however I choose not to remove any of the downloaded documents that I chose to share with all of you.

I respect your decision not remove the pictures and downloads, as they are invaluable to this Site, its Members, and MACK. I like you don't want to go thru the time and effort to post pictures and downloads and then remove them.

Me personally when the pictures and data are no longer here I am gone.

Great thread! I love the shot of the LT with the short dump trailer from the previous page.

How is the name pronounced......is it "selly" or chelly"? Just curious.

I believe it is "chelly" . I would say the dump trailer is 20'

FW

Got another 22" on Friday, 8 trucks worked today. Melting fast.

FW

If you had to change anything it would be the side gears. 44's and 38's same spline not sure on 34's my guess there they are the same also. The side gears run with the spider gears, and the brake spider is on the spindle and supports the brake shoes and cam.
