Dodgeb4ya Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 What is the model name and number for this semi? I think I know where there is a fixer upper. I could tell which tonnage truck it is if I could see the rear axle flange size and stud count. The rear axle flange looks like a domed 12 stud to me. Tires look to be 11.00X20. Air horns = air brakes Grab handles Front axle looks like a 7500lb axle..though could be a 8000lb axle Truck is gussied up. 40 gallon fuel tank...... My vote is it's a 3 or 4 tonner Y series truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Ed Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Found in the www wonderworld... No idea which city? Time could be end of 1930's. Thats a 41-47 Dodge COE wrecker so time has got be to 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle-Pekka Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Ed, That model was launched 1940, which was the last year of the 1930's decade. I assumed there has to be a special reason to shoot a photo of service tow truck in the parade yard of the dealership - a brand new wrecker?

Yes but the 40 has parking lights on the headlights and that dealership photo truck has cowl lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the cowl/parking lights the only external difference btw m.1940 vs. m.1946 ? The below is then 1946? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the reg pickups the headlights also moved from closer to the grill on a stand into a depression on top of the fender after 1940. I am not sure if the COE trucks followed this same trend. The 1940 trucks also had a leaping ram ornament vs the stylized one in that shot. I am not sure of the timing but the early COE trucks also did not have that little door under the Dodge script. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are anti-fog lenses that stick on the inside of the glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desoto1939 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I believe they are anti-fog lenses that stick on the inside of the glass. They might also be the sucksoncup style of window defroster. Remember back then the heater and defroster units were a dealer installed option and most cars and trucks did not come with these installed.
