vintage service trucks for cat

Hi Mark,
these will get things started. From Service Magazines Aug 13-37, and March 6-41.
Cheers,

Is it too late to ask Peoria for the construction details? It would be cool to find that info in the archives! Anyone in Utah got an old pick-up? we would like to see that set-up at the show.

Mark, The earliest service truck I recall was a 1946 or 47 Chevrolet one ton long

wheelbase equiped with gin poles and a humpbacked tool box mounted behind

the cab. The trucks were painted all Caterpillar yellow with black Beckwith

Machinery Co. lettering.

here is the Veerkamps truck

a few more

That yellow Ford is a 1928/29 Pickup Truck.
That is the one that in my opinion should not be Yellow as it is prior to 1931.
Course the problem is that there was no Color Photo's back then.
It would have to be a Document stating the Vehicle color requirements.
