El Guapo

I have a pretty much complete 48 pilot house 2.5 ton, it came to me with a 1939 Fruehauf trailer which I am using with my 1941 COE,,,, I need to move this truck and or the parts along to someone who can use it,,,, It's from rust free eastern Washington, it's been sitting since the 80's but still turns over easily, I used the spitfire head on my COE and the inside of the motor looks great,,,, I'm real easy, make me an offer that my wife cant refuse,,,, follow this link to see the pilot house pics,,,,, https://picasaweb.google.com/bajmahal/Vintage1940SFruehaufAerovan24DropDeckMayflowerMovingVanVanNuysCalifornia?authuser=0&feat=directlink follow this link to view my COE and Fruehauf,,,, https://picasaweb.google.com/bajmahal/Itsalive?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJO4hsTIrPeSRQ&feat=directlink thanks for taking the time to look, David Webb Pomeroy, WA 1941 WHMA 45 with 1939 Fruehauf elguapo1949@yahoo.com

I bought this combination for the trailer, I am going to pull it with my 41 Dodge 2 ton COE,,,, I thought about robbing some parts off the Pilot House but I think I should leave it intact and just pass it off to one of you guys,,,, I will only keep the 5th wheel and let the rest roll away intact,,,, The motor has no number, it has a spitfire head, it turns over freely, the only thing I see missing is the master cylinder, 8.25 20's rear, 7.50 20's front, no rust, very solid, driven to where it was parked 10 years ago, probably had brake problems at the time,,,, I'm taking offers,,,, David https://picasaweb.google.com/bajmahal/Mayflowervan?authkey=Gv1sRgCLLv58mWvZuDbA&feat=directlink

I got it home today without any new dents or scratches,,,, https://picasaweb.google.com/bajmahal/Mayflowervan?authkey=Gv1sRgCLLv58mWvZuDbA&\ feat=directlink

It would make a fine rolling billboard, any sponsors out there? https://picasaweb.google.com/bajmaha...eat=directlink Also, the spitfire head, was that an item that would have originally been on this trucks motor or was that added????? thanks, David Webb www.losthighway.net

Thanks to all that have chimed in on this, you have provided some very valuable info,,, I agree that they should be left together but the fact that the trailer is a 1941 series means that it was paired up to some other rig before this pilot house,,,, I think it will be a great combination for my 1941 COE but I will leave all options open until I have them both home and have a chance to play with them awhile,,,, thanks again, David

I am a new member from over on the 39-47 side of the web,,,, I just bought a great Pilot House tractor & trailer, I plan on keeping the trailer and pulling it with my 1941 Dodge COE 2 ton (WMHA 45), the tractor is going to be surplus,,,, I haven't got the titles yet, the guy is searching for them so I don't know the exact years yet, I sot lots of pics that are attached at the picasa link at the end of this message,,,, The door jam data is as follows, serial # 85601200, model B1KA-152, 17,000 97.5HP @ 3200 rpm,,,,, the wheel base is 140", it's a 25" motor with a spitfire head (I may keep that for my truck?) 7.50 20 front, 850 20 rear, the motor turns over by hand and appears to be totally complete,,,, I would appreciate knowing the year, the tonnage and anything else about this truck,,,, I am keeping the trailer, vacuum brakes and all,,,, thanks in advance for your reply,,, David Webb, Pomeroy, WA 1941 WHMA 45,,,, https://picasaweb.google.com/bajmahal/Mayflowervan?authkey=Gv1sRgCLLv58mWvZuDbA&feat=directlink
