I thought you guys might like to see some pics I took of a 1955 White that is owned by P&C Foods here in Syracuse, NY. Here's what I know about it, and it isn't much: Tractor - 1955 White Engine - Caterpillar Trailer - 1951 Trailmobile It was retired from fleet in the early 1960s Restored by P&C mechanics between 1995 and 1999        Ok, who's going to be the first one to scratch-build one of these. Personally, I always thought the tires looked too big, but what do I know. |

When I look at the dodge L700 rims and tires,they don't look right.That trailer looks like those rims would fit.I don't know what era the dodge rims are supposed to be,but they would sure work on an old school rig like shown.

Glad you guys like it. It's a nice old truck. I'll see if I can get some more details on the engine, but I kind of doubt it. If I do get anything I'll let you know.

Cheers John Yea having a cat is really odd! I had a 57 wc-22 mine had the mustang gas burner in it, as did most that I have ever seen. Cat power is a real oddity!  Jim |

Regarding both of these trucks...."those were the days!"
Just like my field...diesel vs steam loco's....love the steam as you actually had to really work them, at them and ON them.
