On the left is a Timber Toter using a die cast cab first introduced in 1950. This cab casting is still available as a new part. Sand cast trailers and springs were used on the first die cast trucks as the trailer die had not been completed. In the middle is a sand cast cab but with the look of the die cast cab. This cab is thick like a sand casting but has the look of a die cast cab. On the right is a sand cast cab made around 1947 or 1948. Note the painted wheels, rectangle logo on the door, six wheels and the brass air horn. Good Year diamond grip tread tires were used in the first 4 or 5 years. I would like to thank David and Cody Hull for contributing information and some photos to this history project. |
