That would be a great history for this vehicle, unfortunately-if memory serves me(confirmed with a bit of internet browsing) the Pershing Expedition to find/fight Pancho was 1916-1917 and the plate on my FWD is 1918.......too bad, so sad for me-that would have been a colorful history. I am doing as much research through family records as I can, but the resources are limited. My best guess is that my great grandfather purchased the vehicle from military surplus in the 1920's to use in his -then growing-sand and gravel material business in San Antonio. He was deeply involved in the growth of San Antonio, Texas' downtown area. He supplied masonry base materials for the construction of San Antonio landmarks such as the Nix Hospital, the Medical Arts Building (now the Emily Morgan hotel), Smith Young Tower and many more. In 1930, he sold the business and used the funds to buy my family's ranch about an hour south of San Antonio. My guess is that the truck was brought to the ranch around that time to assist in ranch work and construction. The only kink in that idea is that the ranch land he bought-used to be a townsite. The truck could have come from inhabitants of the town-which was named Crowther, Texas. Some New England developers planned on prosperity in South Texas, but after realizing that water was to deep to dig to, quickly abandoned the project. A railroad was planned through the town (Artesian-Belt Rail), the grades were built but track never made it that far South. Curbs and Sidewalks were poured and numerous businesses and homesteads were created. A few remnants of that time still exist today-possibly the truck being one of them...?????...
