Vladislav Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Not all but many of those FWD trucks look cool on my mind.If the memory serves me good there were some FWD's used in Russian army during WW1.

Brocky Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 VladQuite possible.. Don Chew in Colorado has a 1917 FWD painted and dresses as a military vehicle which he shows as well as taking it on the 2009 reenactment of Eisenhower's 1919 cross county convoy.

edwhite0013 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The Black/White FWD Conventional "Easy Rider" earlier in this post was my dad's! 350 Cummins, 13-speed, w/ hendrickson suspension. Purchased new in 1971-72 From Bergey's in Franconia, PA and sold in 1980 back to Bergeys. When bold, Bergey's converted it to a wrecker where it lived out the 80s and into the early 90s in road service for Bergeys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they are out of business by now. Sorry James. Missed your question by only a couple of years! McHenry Ready-Mix (later Enterprise Ready Mix) was gobbled up by MEYER in 1988. Some of the trucks still wore the green/yellow dress for a few years after the buyout. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Red Horse Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Makes you wonder-at least I do-how did they ever make any money? They could not have had significant volume? Sure economy in buying an existing cab but just to engineer it to work with their chassis? Then again when they were building these "kit trucks" the federal regs they had t deal with were Im sure a fraction of what they are today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those mixers have low rears and lots of gears, with a Detroit you could really shift fast when you're empty going downhill! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
