Re: 1936 Ford Telephone Truck

Lots of memories of the old in the ground hoists. The Redlands HS auto shop had one of the double post ones when I took advanced auto shop in '67/68. After I got of the Army I worked as a mechanic for a local dairy. It had a single in ground hoist that we used to service the old Divco milk trucks. The hoist was certainly not OSHA approved. When you started to let the hoist down you had to rock the truck so the hoist would start to go down smoothly. If you didn't the hoist wouldn't start going down and then after a few seconds would drop about a foot and then continue going down. Certainly not a confidence builder.

Re: 1936 Ford Telephone Truck
There was only one time I ever had a vehicle on the hoist at the phone company that wasn't white or silver. It had a drivetrain powertrain issue, the pedals broke and needed to be welded. Somebody out in the yard brought this i to me to be welded and I thought it would be funny to put it on the hoist.

Re: 1936 Ford Telephone Truck
Beautiful, inside and out. It is cool that you have (he kept) all the service parts and tools for the inside compartments. The whole package is priceless.

Re: 1936 Ford Telephone Truck
Some where in the past, someone has substituted a 1935 Ford Front Bumper. This is the Correct Bumper for 1936 Ford Pick-ups - notice the 45 degree slant on the ends. |
