I'd like to see photos of that one if you find it. Here is my other one. There is another thread on it.

The "new" 606" is here. Thanks to Sam for helping to get it loaded. It's pretty rough but runs, drives, stops, and builds air. The inertia starter works, as well as the air steering. And I didn't realize just how straight the front bumper is. All in all I'm pretty pleased. The plan may end up to...

Clint, I knew I would eventually figure out a way to get you over here !

Paul, my orange wrecker is fairly complete and has a pretty good cab, but needs an engine and a rear end, and the rest of the drivetrain is questionable. This one has no wrecker equipment and the cab is in poor condition, but runs, drives and stops. It also has lots of other parts I need. It...

What a co-incidence that I posted exactly a year ago today that the Federal without the boom was for sale. I just bought it. It will be a while before I get it home.

The Federal without the boom that started this thread was on Craigslist about a month ago. The ad is gone and I don't know the status. I hope it found a good home.

Here is a link I just came across which has more photos of the C2 in New York. https://plus.google.com/photos/114414756732382249410/albums/5753523012552893313#photos/114414756732382249410/albums/5753523012552893313

I sent you an email with some photos a few days ago, did you get it ?

Here are a couple of photos from the Life Magazine collection, taken in 1942. The front view shows the front axle pretty well, it looks very similar if not the same as yours. This truck is the later style with the early curved boom. One thing that I don't think has been mentioned so far is that...

The red thing is the inertia starter. It mounted in front of the grille and connected to the crankshaft. It had a crank that went in from the side. I believe you "wound it up" and then there was some kind of mechanism to release the energy and turn the engine over. If you remember the Briggs and...

What a great find your C-2 is. It looks to be in really good condition, and it is amazing that you could drive it home. How is the wood in the cab ? Usually that is the first thing to go. If the wood is in good condition you are already way ahead of the game. Don't give up on finding the correct...
