Title: 1930 Stewert ,takes a short ride.
Post by: loggah on September 09, 2017, 05:12:38 PM
Well I been working on my 1930 model 30 Stewart panel truck off and on for a few months, yesterday I took it for a short ride. My wife took a few pictures in our local bridge! :) The steering was pretty bad ,so now its on jacks ,and I'm making some new kingpins and bushings, that should fix it !!!!!  Don

I'll echo the wows.  Also, do you plan on starting a milk delivery business?

Have to make the picture into black and white. I believe it spent part of its life as a laundry truck, make a good beer truck !! ;D

This is neat.  :) We saw the Stewart and the Bridge in July.  Don told us that he would have it running and I believed him.   smiley_thumbsup

I have worked with Stanley Graton, helped haul the branch brook  "turkey Jim" covered bridge out of  branch brook when it was washed downstream after hurricane Irene, and helped repair the other branch brook bridge the covered bridge ran into .

Loggah, thank you for sharing one more of your awesome accumulation of vintage iron with us.  I love the look of the trucks from the 30's.

Not my truck and we don't have any covered bridges around here but I'd love to have that picture hanging on my wall!

I don't know how long it took to doctor up that picture but it was time well spent. Great picture of an awesome truck. smiley_thumbsup smiley_thumbsup
Loggah if you decide to use that that old gem as a beer truck let me know where your route is so I can flag you down  :D
I second what Sandhills said I'd like a copy of that for my wall as well.

Don,that is a great looking truck! I have a couple of D series Internationals (late 30's,early 40's) that need work,but they never seem to be the top priority. I'm jealous.!

Jeff,I love that picture.
