Who did the wheels? Any idea if it’s a three ton unit?There are some similar heroic restorations on the links below. Nice bunch of guys, a father and sons family that restore WWI trucks.
https://hmvf.co.uk/topic/314-ww1-dennis-truck-find/canton tire co . in Ohio did the rubber & some amish also in Ohio did the wood wheels & the metal fellow. The truck could be a 3 ton but the old papers show its a 2 ton ?

Maybe 20 mph . but on the dash tag said not to go over 15 mph ,
The wheels & tires w.t 350 pounds each wheel . Only had the hub . very costly $ . but they did a great job on the wheels .

I need alot of early hub cap for marathon cars and other names . does anyone press and tread hub caps , I have some old presses thinking about making them . looks like they are a thick brass plate put in a press and shaped with names on the metal press side . Then put in a metal lathe cut off then treaded. does that sound correct ? I will have to make a die for the name . Who knows if it works out maybe can make more for other people . please let me know what you guys know ! Thanks The MARATHON MAN.

What a great project, I'll bet all your pre 1915 friends want to take pictures of their cars with your station. I just finished a 1925 era National Simplex, hand crank. When I started the restoration, I had no idea that my cylinder was brass, as yours are. Mine is covered by the "tins" so I didn't polish it as yours are. What are you using for your hose and where did you purchase it, if I may ask? I am using a white hose, that's ok, but I would like something that was correct in 1925.

you would order your per-fab by how many windows on the front are the sides . built my station off of this photo but smallest you could get in 1915.

The latest on the Dorris Motor Car building. We have been inside the old factory and found the front wall is gone and a framed wood wall was added when a later building was erected in front . The back brick wall is in very bad shape, and time is against us because of tight time-frame on the demolition schedule. The developers have been great in working with us on this project, but time and a great deal of added cost to get ready for the move was too much. If the old Dorris factory were in a lot better shape and if the front wall were there, the cost would have worked and the rent per Sq ft. rate in the Nashville market would paid for the move in less than four years. We sure tried to save this historic car factory. The project manager says we can have all the bricks, doors & windows. Our hope is to perhaps re-build the old factory using the original materials on the campus of Marathon Village. Barry Walker P.S. YOU CANT WIN THEM ALL ! Thanks for all your support .
