I was just wondering if you have got anywhere on your White. Please give an update.

hi, yes i have had some luck with locating a white dump truck of the same age that has a radiator and a few other useful parts, just trying to negotiate buying them, through help from the motor transport museum in san diego CA i now know that my truck is a 3 ton model TC longwheelbase flatdeck not a 5 ton model TC as i thought originally, as far as restoration work i have done some chassis repairs, but until i find and acquire the parts i need doing any major work would be jumping the gun! thanks for your interest, mike.

Mike,

I am interested in what you are doing because I am studying the history of a local lumber company that used a ~1913 White Truck for transporting supplies. I believe it was also a 3 ton White Truck. On the internet there are not a lot of photos, so I would love it if you sent photos of your progress. It is my dream to build a model of the who lumber seen. As a part of that I would make a model of the White Truck.

Please keep in touch.

This might be a bit outside of your budget:rolleyes:, but I thought you might want to see a White Truck for sale.

These don't come up very often:

hi dan, your truck looks like its in very good condition and original, i am still looking for some of the smaller parts for my 5 ton model, the glass oil sight fitting on the bulkhead, a fueltank or some detailed pictures and measurements, and any sheetmetal or plans/pictures of, if you know of anyone with spares or parts i'd be pleased to hear from them, thanks mike.

Hi Mike, I sent you a PM. I have a steering column, pedal assembly and some valves and springs. Let me know if you have any interest. Neil

[blastermike 13]

hi neil, thanks for the reply, i do have two steering boxs, but wouldnt mind having a look at the pedal assembly you have, any chance of a few pictures of them? thanks mike.

[Neil G 22]

Hi Mike, here's a couple of pics of the pedal assembly. It swivels easily, surface rust only. Let me know if it's correct for your application. The steering column I have does not have the box, it's the column, steering wheel spider, horn button, gas pedal and bracket where it bolts to the firewall.

[blastermike 13]

hi neil, thanks for pictures, i have sent you a PM , those pedals could be from a white car or one of the smaller trucks? ones i'm looking for are square, hope to hear back from you mike.

hi, do you still need a radiator? I may have the radiator you need.

[blastermike 13]

hi, i do have one but its in quiet rough condition, could you post a few pictures of yours please, it should have a brass top, and the filler neck is about 3 inches high, thanks mike.

[Neil G 22]

Here's the steering column I have, I want to sell it as a unit, $200, thanks
