Dual Wheel '49 & Original Flatbed

Posted by Larry On Hood Canal on Monday, July 17, 2006 at 11:17AM :

After many months of fit's & starts, I've finally managed to retrieve this truck. It's a piece of NW pioneer history, and I've had some misgivings about moving it...I'd like to buy the place it sits on and haul it back up there someday. I'll work on getting the build card for it, but near as I can tell, it came new with dual rear wheels, no winch, a side mounted gas tank, and this amazing oak tongue & groove flat bed. The archives shows some reference to another original flat bed with what I can only figure are side mounted steps that hang below the bed on the four corners. I've saved everything I could for dimensions and patterns. Any further information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
