Re: A forgotten in plain site 1936 Model 51
i think the steel mud flaps are a ww2 army item. perhaps even the whole bed is off an army truck. usually have a data plate on the front

If there was a Data plate, where would it have typically been located on the front?

Re: A forgotten in plain site 1936 Model 51
It would be cool if you could carefully remove some of the green paint only to expose any lettering to prove it was a demonstrator truck.

Attached is a picture of an owners manual I found useful while restoring my 36 1.5 ton. It is available from several online sources.

Re: A forgotten in plain site 1936 Model 51
That is something I have been thinking about, how to do it without damaging the letters underneath. If you know what you are looking for you can just barely make out the V of the "V8" on the doors, but if I could just remove just enough of the outer layer of paint to reveal it better or find the "Demonstrator" letters above the windshield. But even with out that I am confident in what it originally was based on the original paint colors and the faint lettering on both stake body panels.

Re: A forgotten in plain site 1936 Model 51
i once bought an army dump truck that had been painted white for "winter training" . i sprayed simple green on it for a few days and hit it with a hot water pressure washer and had an army green truck again with all its markings

Re: A forgotten in plain site 1936 Model 51
If you have power take off, then you have a hydraulic dump. I have model 79 ('37) with hydraulic dump made by Garwood. Look for "brass plates" on passenger side of frame (just past cab) for "operation/maintenance" of the lift. Also, many times there was a "plate" on floor board in cab with "how to operate" the lift. My dump truck has 35,000 original miles so I was lucky to have these plates still in place. I can send you copies I can send you if you like .

I am still on the fence as to if I am going to keep it on the truck or remove it. If you can send me the info, I would still appreciate it for if only the knowledge but may still come in handy if I do decide to keep it on the truck.
