Here is an unusual item from the days of camping while taking an auto trip. I believe from the 1920s. There is the canvas tent and many poles. It all nests in a very heavy wooden box .Super item for a car show display . You will really stand out with this. I replaced the bottom due to damage. Cannot ship this must pickup or arrange your own shipping from Ct. Price is what I paid $400. THE VINTAGE PHOTO GIVES YOU AN IDEA ABOUT THESE AUTO TENTS. NOT THE SAME ONE JUST FOR REFERENCE. .

I have restored several original WW 1 vehicles The smaller is my 1918 Dodge Light repair truck. About 1000 built for the war effort and only 6 known to exist. The larger beast is my 1918 FWD model B Mobile artillery Repair shop . The US Britian and Russia bout these. Total of 14,000 trucks and about 3 dozen exist worldwide. Wheels were done by Canton Bandag who did the Overman Cushion tires.

There are three tires multiple pictures of them no tubes or flaps are included I need those. If interested we can discuss a fair price

I have at least 3 35 x 5 Lester white walls that were on my '18 cadillac when I got it . If you are still looking I can get you some pictures . They are NOT NOS

Hello I am looking to buy these data plates from an early teens-20s GMC 3/4 t truck

when it rains it pours . I had a set of wheels made by Noah Stutzman and then 8 mos later I found another GMC truck with a great set of Baker wheels

Hello I am searching for a pair of rear fenders for a 1918 GMC truck . They need to screw to the wooden body as shown in the picture,Other makes may fit such as Chevrolet Thanks

Hello I am in need of the pictured radiator shroudI believe that 1915-mid 20s will fit my model 16 GMC 3/4 t . Finders fee gladly paid if a successful lead is provided. Thank you (2023) Thank you

Hello I am in need of a pair of yokes like these . It is an 8 inch spread .

Finally got the baker wheel project completed for my 1918 GMC US Army ambulance. The chassis came with 2 rotted out Bakers in the rear and in the front was a smaller different brand of wheel with metal felloes. I removed the hubs from the 4 wheels and then sand blasted and primed them. I removed all the hardware that was still on the rear wheels including the metal felloe bands. I then secured 2 more felloe band and redrilled them in the Baker pattern. A member on the forum was able to secure me some additional wheel hardware but still not enough so I had the "BAKER" wedges cast as well as the inside wheel threaded hardware. Missing wheel bolts were made from Grade 5 bolts which were machined to accept the shroud which retains the bolt to the wedge . All the hardware and hubs was shipped to Noah Stutzman who did a perfect job on building a new set of wheels . The rear rims were two good Bakers and the front were Jaxon type which drop in perfectly. You can see the plate locking the rim visible on the rear where I am using Baker rims

the one to the rear end

Guys I did measure the flanges They are 5 1/2 inches The length I have to get the shaft back from the shop to measure it Transmission is out so I cannot measure it on the vehicle. Perhaps the U joints are the same on these shafts and If there are any usable U joints out there that would solve my problem thanks

Thanks I will do that next week bob

Thanks for the reply. Do you get back up North or are you situated in Fl permanently? When you say 4-5 in units you are referring to the flange diameter I assume. Is that correct? bob

My GMC Drive shaft is toast at one end Other end is usable. Can anyone recommend a rebuilder as I want to keep it original. I can get a modern shaft fabricated with new flanges machined but it won't be as it was when new. Prefer Northeast region but will consider east coast

Thank you Layden. This information really clears it up for me . I do have 3 really good Baker rims, Another not so good , and several Jaxon rims so I am OK with the rims. I did find 1 very rusty anchor plate (shown in my earlier post) which I am duplicating . Now I have the verification of their usage with Baker rims.

hello I am in need of a pair of headlights for my 1981 GMC truck The yokes on the truck are 8 inches apart. Picture i the style I am looking for. I have yokes but I would also buy the picture yoke and mount if you have them thank you.
