Aircraftphotos Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 The truck frame and engine are about all that is left. It is in the state park at Bodie. It has a straight cylinder arrangment and I see ten push rods. Could this be a five or ten cyclinder engine? The wheels have wooden spokes. I have several photos which I can email. Here are a few more images up to the limit. I have been assuming it is a truck, but it could be a car that was used for hauling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 1923-4 Stutz with Widely 6 cylinder engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircraftphotos Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Did a google search and found that the Stutz cars had steel spoke wheels. Found some Stutz fire engines with woodenspoke wheels. Is this in fact a Stutz truck ? I noticed that the front wheels have eleven spokes. Can't tell on the rear spokes, but every other spoke is bolted to what appears to be a brake drum and the spoke is wider where the bolt goes through it.

Layden B Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Stutz car, fire trucks are much larger. Wood wheels were standard equipment with wires available at extra cost. 12 spokes front and rear (even number always)on Timken axles, 6 bolts thru every other rear spoke to the drum was very common at the time. Gemmer brand steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
