Thats a rare one too, a Dodge airflow, other two are restored, and another is being restored, missing the rear tank body.

Some year ago a rare/unique 1941 dodge airflow tanker truck was rescued and showed here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1941-dodge-airflow-tanker.61884/ By accident I find a auction page that showed this same truck was sold some time ago, anyone knows something about the current status...

Hi, Maybe this would of interest: It appears to be a Oskosh truck, with a Garwood crane, not like the C2 wrecker, but more as a Ward Lafrance wrecker.. http://www.fold3.com/image/56733888/?terms=342-FH-3A44606-51189AC https://www.flickr.com/photos/16118167@N04/6093742292/in/photostream/...

Hello Sir, How is the restoration going? Please show more photos! Best regards, G_Mendes

Great photos! Thanks for sharing! It would be interesting to see if these were older or newer tham the other better known in the flickr albuns. G_Mendes

I had no idea that so many federal/reo C2 were built (and used in United States after WW2), as they looked to me as a rare truck in the US and Europe (England/France/Belgium/Netherlands), as in the military vehicles restorations also. Some pictures of the restored C2 in the "Marshall Museum...

Duplicated post. Sorry!

Hi Jeff! Thanks for the reply. You are right, the front axle was a suspect point...! The link was great, nice to see one of them with a better future on sight! I didn't know about the "Yaworski truck museum". Went on a little search, but I read that part of the "more restorable" collection is...

Wow! Great photos! Never seen them before! Thanks! G_Mendes

Just find a pic of this rare truck, it looks to have been shot in 2010... Maybe someone in the US get it and save it! source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunsetsailor/6564036057/in/photostream Its the first photo tha I had discovered of a surviving truck of this type. Compare with this...

Just a updat, it seems that one of the U-70/90 cab type wrecker survived, despite a rusted state...! If it was a prototype, it still exists (at least in 2010)! Restored, it would be a fantastic unusual display truck! Compare this: source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunsetsailor/5793476752/...

Hi, Glad to help/share information! After all, its the reason why this space exists! Thanks for the mesurement. I intend to build a model, and all the info is welcome! Photos of the bed chassis, cab rear, transmission, axles, good side/front/rear views, etc etc etc. Not sure about this, but...

Hello, While searching my files, I found this photo of a Autocar wrecker. As this subject seems to be rare in information, I tought to post it. Note the rear winch and the absence of the 5th wheel. Unfortunatly I don't know the source or the date. It is very similar to the one in a famous...

Hi, Anyone have some information and photos about the US Naval Aviation Autocar U-9064, with a tank truck body? source: http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=1930 I search all the net but only find this from a WW2 ad, and reference to a 1/50 model. Many thanks, G_Mendes

Congratulations and thanks for saving this truck! About the crane, its a 10 Ton Garwood Lifitng System with a 180 degree field of operation. This system was installed on a variety of chassis for used by the US Navy and Us Air Corps, including the Sterling DDS 235, HC 530, M1 A1s and Autocar...
