Hello all. My name is Tad. I'm currently living in Lima, NY but am soon relocating to the Washington, DC area with my wife and 3 boys (8,5, and 2 years old).
I grew up around old cars and trucks, and have always wanted a Nash Quad, recently the opportunity to get one came up and I jumped at it. I now have two partial trucks, with most of the components to make one complete truck....although I am missing a couple of big things (radiator and a differential).
I'm trying to track down the remaining parts and deciding what kind of body I want to eventually put on the truck. Anybody have any idea what all uses they originally had? I know there were ammo boxes, and I've seen dump boxes. I would like to put something on that is period correct, but not common. I found a WW1 vintage truck on the forum here that had a crane on it....would that have been an original use of the truck or added sometime after, because I would love a crane. The picture below is the one I saw.
The Quad is by far the oldest thing I own. My other vehicles are; International '47 & '49 KB8s, '51 L190 wrecker, '60 R190 semi, Travelall, '64 F250, '67 MGB, '41 Nash, and a Ford AA Doodlebug(homebuilt tractor)
