41/53dodges Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 I need help finding an old picture somebody posted on here awhile back. there was a w-series dodge truck with a logging setup, fully loaded. it was a black and white pic, and i cannot seem to find it again! thanks, josh. Quote
Fernando Mendes Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Which year is W-series? I sent many WWII B&W WC Dodge series pics. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 W series is civilan 41-47. Kinda confusing as a WC is military and also a 41-47 civilian 1/2 ton model. Quote
Young Ed Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 WC-weapon carrier. This is also a WC Quote
41/53dodges Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 it was more along the lines of civilian, 1.5T plus, 1940-41, 46-47. it looked similar to my WF-32 1.5T. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Some Dodge log trucks...and an extra Jungle Dodge! Quote
HanksB3B Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Is this the one? If it ain't, It's sure a good one! Hank Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 If this is the one you're looking for, I'm probably the one that posted it before. Byron Richardson (byronb3b) sent it to me a few years ago. I think it is an old family photo from his family's logging days in Oregon. Merle Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Hanks Truck Pictures is a great trucking pic site too. Quote
Frank Ollian Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Hank's is probably the best one out there, has links to many collections. Quote

Merle AND WE HAVE A WINNER! that looks like a 1.5-2.5 tonner with a shortened frame? Quote
HanksB3B Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 What our little engines can do... Quote
Byronb3b Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 My Dad drove that truck for Wright's Lumber prior to going in the Navy at the start of WW ll, he is still going strong and it's very interesting to get him started on good ole log hauling stories, it'a a wonder any of the drivers lived through the experience !!

Byron wow! thank yoiu for sharing the pic! I think this truck would have had a 237 under the hood. simply amazing! Quote
Byronb3b Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 My Dad has told me that the Lumber Co. had Chevies, Fords and Dodge trucks, and that the Dodge was the best, Fords had a lot of clutch problems and the Chevrolet engines would not hold together under heavy use with their oiling system. On steep hills on the highway none of the trucks would always have enough power to make it over the top and with vacuum boosted hydraulic brakes on the truck and vacuum only on the trailers, stalling out and maybe killing the engine could be instant disaster they would tie a short log right behind the drive tires and drag it up the hill to have something to roll back on until a empty truck would come along and pull them to the top.
