I spotted a 56-57 SW of Phoenix a couple weeks back while on vacation...did not have the luxury of time to investigate but can offer details if you find someone in that area.

Also, there is a earlier 1½ or 2t located a few miles North of Madras, Oregon. Sits very near the road (Hwy 97), easily seen by passers-by and usually has farm generated scrap on the deck. I have driven past it hundreds of times and it hasn't moved..... You might use Google earth to see if shows up.

Will have a 57 3 ton dump with no motor or trans soon.  Donor truck for finishing my 55.

That was posted I believe on the 39-47 group and I think the guy bought it just for the trailer

That 2-1/2 truck was over in eastern Washington. I sold the owner ( David Webb) a NOS Eaton 2 speed ring and pinion gear set.

He bought that truck and trailer just for the trailer to use with his 1941 W series COE truck.

He offered that truck to me two years ago. I don't need anymore big trucks. He still might have it!!

I used to talk to him all the time. I think he restored both the tractor and trailer, at leasat I thought it was the same tractor he bought there.  It has been on the road.  He just flat got with it putting it back in shape.

 

He told of one trip to a show, on the way back he got stopped by a trooper. He had a license - well, maybe 20 across the front - like they did back in the day on long haul trucks. None were current, of course. Trooper questioned him a bit, come to find out the trooper was restoring an old truck himself. After looking it over, told David to have a good trip.  That wouldn't be the luck I'd have!

 

Heck, my last trip to Texas - the trip that I offered offered to haul something for you guys - I passed a new weigh station in Oklahoma. As I went by with this 40' empty trailer behind my pickup all sorts of lights started going off. I think those were all flashes taking pictures of me. Then neon signs started flasing saying things like "Pull In", "Must weigh". I kept rolling. Half figured I'd have a cop running me down. Didn't happen. Still might get something in the mail. In a dozen trips all over the country, some empty, some with a few vehicles on the trailer, never had anything like that happen.
