Pontiac59 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Is that as you spelled it, or like the city in Pennsylvania (and in the middle east) - BethlehEm? I'm sure it's no wierder than a Guilder - they were built in Poughkeepsie NY, of all places. I used to have a nice old Defiance Spark Plug chart that listed all those odd makes, but it's in pieces now because I was a kid when I got it and didn't know enough to have it laminated - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Branham lists the Bethleham truck as being produced in Allentown, PA for the years 1917-1928.Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Rohrbach Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Sorry it took me so long to post this pic, but I couldn;t find where I had it. I live near Allentown, so I bought this advertisement a few years ago when I saw it. From what I had heard, it was one of many "assembled" trucks that were available in those days. Enjoy.

Guest tiredtruckrestorer Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Hello, I'm about a year late in answering you. I have a 1919 Model D Bethlehem truck. In fact I purchased it from Lloyd Van Horns truck museum in Mason City, Iowa. I know of 3 Bethlehem trucks in the country, including mine. All are different models. Bethlehem Motors also owned a foundry, formerly the North American Foundry, in Pottstown Pennsylvania and did make their own engines. Jack Mack, left his brothers and started Bethlehem Motors along with one of the vice presidents at Mack to build trucks for WWI. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
