1936 Ford Delux PU and a Dump Truck

[Mike/Franklin]

There have been some great 1935 Model 51 posts so I though I would attach a couple of Model 68 ,1936's which are virtually the same model. Both of these have connections to my current home in Mansfield Ct. The dump truck was just found in a historical society book titled Farming in Mansfield CT from 1690 to 1955. A slim 50 page or so hard cover publication of the society, probably one of their first publications. The farmer mentioned in the caption used to chop the corn on my cousin Georges farm in Chaplin starting about 1958 or so. I knew him starting in 1960 or thereabouts. Then the real kicker are the two kids. Dave Anderson is my brother in law and I also know his brother. This truck may still be in town although not in this shape. I have to do some looking. Has the same Gar Wood Type C12 2 yard body as my 1939. The second, also from a Historical Society book in a 1936 Delux. One of only about 2560 built in 36. I know nothing about this truck and is probably long gone.


Interesting what's out there when your not looking. ML
