HeavyGunner Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 saw these two R model mixers for sale in Havre,met this nice ole guy that was cleaning out the slop oil from a tank battery that I was hauling from, he said the truck has 60k Rockwell (or maybe Hendrickson) axles with a 5 and a 4 tranny. He said the truck weighs about 50k empty and top speed is about 54mph.I came across this wooden oil drilling rig abandoned in a field near a tank battery. I thought it was pretty cool to think that technology wise we were drilling with wooden rigs to keep the new modern car fueled with gas.

41chevy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nice!!! I moved a wood drill rig in Pa along those lines based on a REO truck chassis, awesome technology for the day. Thanks for posting pics.
