Nash Quad WW1 army surplus 4WD truck chassis
Jun 22 2008, 10:44 PM EDT
I'm not finding many of these restored except in military museums in places like Nebraska or Texas. I the summe rof 1920 the NY State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and highway engineer offered these and other militray surplus trucks to municipalities just for the cost of shipping and license, the state fairground in Syracuse was used as a distribution center. One of these was cannibalized for parts and left on the farm of an old mechanic in Rome, NY and Portner ended up with at after the auction of the mechanic's farm out in Ava, Oneida County, NY so I'm guessing it was owned by a local municipality. Portner wants to sell it, and I don't need another project. I found video on youtube of a restored one down in Texas at a aereodrome but sorry didn't save th link. You can reach Portner at 315-336-4242 or flowerpower282@juno.com Yes it's rough, driveline is gone, wood all rotted away, but wheels and hard rubbe rin good shape, unfortunately the guy who moved it snapped the spring hangers so the one axle sets out on top, it should have been jacked up out of the ground first.

Portner has found a buyer in one Radbill who has restored one down in Southeast PA, so another treasure saved from the scrapper!

Actually that deal fell through, but it won't get scrapped.
