This is a chain drive Mack. The photo was taken in 1935. The truck was used for pulling and maintenance. It has a I beam with a chain pulley, a winch and tool boxes over the duals.

This is a double stake driver. Next to the light plants its considered # two in importance. It can dive steel or hickory stobs, saving time and manpower. 1938…………. I forgot there is one more important item, the cook house.

Before unloading the trucks are tested to make sure that they will start. Sometimes they were primed with gas to start and warm up. On a long trip the fuel could evaporate. 1932. Great info on these two trucks. Thanks Bob for researching out the information with Steve Flint. A great comment.

Baggage and cargo wagon 1935. I find it interesting that the back of the wagon is canvased in. It may have been backed up to the wardrobe tent. They were protecting something.
