Going to the Wheels of Time show in Richland Center WI this weekend.
 
(quoted from post at 15:07:26 10/02/19) Sanders? Never seen anything quite like that. Are they period or did they come later?

When I was first on our fire Dept. We had a 1963 Mack retired oil truck as our primary tanker. It was equipped with sanders but we never had them operational. That truck was our primary tanker from 1972 until 1992.
 
Ya they are of the same period. The boss
has seven sets of them. The green truck
has brand new ones, never used, just sat
in storage.
 
Is what I was told about the Emeryville true?

That the engineers at IH's hardest job was figuring out how to make it impossible to get in or out without the door hitting you in the butt?
 
Nice trucks! That wheels of time show was at Dana bout 20 years ago when I worked there. Those are good shows. You will have to post some pictures! There were some very nice trucks there too.
 
I drove school bus in the late 60's in eastern Washington- hilly, with lots of snow. We used the sanders all the time. Had one big hill, and it was always drifted shut at the top- drift was taller than the bus. Bus chief said get your rig straight up the hill, lay on the sand, and just bust through the drift at the top. Scary the first couple of times, but you got used to it.
 
Please educate me about sanders. How do they not plug or bridge?

Fabulous Trucks!

Simple way, put them on a show truck and never use them! Lol. No word has it turkey grit was used alot. There is a door that opens up in the bottom to drop out sand or grit, switch in the cab of course.
 
The ?sand? used in them looks about like floor dry. I suppose any dry flowable grit would work. Some locomotives use a similar setup.

e had them on the trucks where I worked, when they worked they worked good, never put sand in them only poultry grit, sand is wet stops them up. company took them off said they were buying too many paint jobs .
 
Were those busses with the engine in the back? Everything I have ever seen with engine in front you try that and engine compartment would be packed so solid with snow the engine could not run.
