U.S. Mail truck used in snowy mountain sections of California in 1940


This is a 1920s Dodge Commercial screenside express truck with a Ford worm drive rear axle. The front wheels seem to be original with special rims. The rest of the wheels are Chevrolet. Note the bottom of the door has been cut off to clear the tracks. The teens and twenties 4 cylinder Dodge was one of the great vehicles of the era. General Pershing drove one. Totally reliable.

reminds me of https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/01/i-was-surprised-at-snow-mobile.html

NO doubt that the guy who makes Truque.tumblr.com will use this as well as hundreds of other images without giving due credit to Justacarguy for his source... like so many of the things he posts.

But he will give Artruby and Kristivadiva credit for what he finds on their sites. That's why I stopped giving him a source credit a while ago.

What a jackass.
