Best wishes on your trip to Anchorage! Maybe stop by the F Street for a cold one and the halibut. The fish tacos at Humpey's is pretty good too. Take care.

 

Sounds great Joe. We will try and check them out.
I was pretty disappoint with Benny Hanna's the last
time I was there. It will be a while before I try them
again. They were braking in a new cook. I found out
he had no sense of humor and ruined my dinner.

 

Great pizza at Muldoon Pizza. Gwennies for breakfast. Well, used to be anyway.

 

The Snow City Cafe has really good breakfast also.

 

more old service stations

 

auto repair shops....

 

Outrageous again Scott. I have a 5 ton hand crank winch up to a ****** block and I've worked on my trucks doing wheelstands like that. I never liked doing it, but I have. What great shots. All of them.

 

Probably not the preferred method for checking fluid levels.

 

That logging truck looks like my 1940 6x6 not a 37 which would have had the round grille i think.

 

Yes, the log truck is a 40-41. The '37 lumber truck I referred to is in the pic just above it.

That's a great looking truck you have there!

 

I'll go beyond that... It's WAY freakin' cool! Is the extra axle chain driven? And only '38 and '39 had the oval 'Horse collar grille'.

 

I have to say those 40-41s have really grown on me since I brought my panel home a year or so ago. I thought they looked too much like a 9N tractor. Now they are my favorite

 

Tandem axle. 1940 ford marmon herrington. Put together by Canadian traction co for the RCAF.This conversion changed the tonner into a six ton. Its got a c channel frame scabbed over the ford unit that runs front to back. This thing has more leaf springs than my old tanden C65 dump truck! Im gonna feel every pebble.

 

Really an awesome truck! One thing to note is it isn't a tonner per se. It's a 1 1/2 ton or two ton. Has 20" wheels. 134 or 157" wheelbase. It's a big truck. Tonners are a weird half breed built by ford. Pretty much a heavy pickup or stakebed. Always 122" wb with 17" single lock ring wheels with hubcaps. Not criticizing, just sayin.....
