ashley Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hi all, i am sure that you`ve noticed on this months MVT calendar that the 1941 Canadian truck has the `front` mounted version !any coments? Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 I can see it on my calendar beside me. It does i fear not prove anything as it is only however on the recreated photograph and not on the original. Good try though. It is possible that an LRDG unit would carry a folding canvas bucket on the offchance of using it to pull up water out of a well, as quite a few did exist across the desert. However, i think that carrying it in such a vulnerable place (being suspended from the front bumper) is very unlikley as it would either drag or snag while driving in the rough terrain out in the desert which would result in either its loss or severe damage. Those LRDG vehicle restorers do a fine job. I wonder if any of them has an original photo of a canvas bucket in action! If anybody has not seen this picture and would like to, let me know and i will post it on the forum. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Well you know this whole 'Secret Society' and its bucket code has implications for a Texas fire department. They proudly display an original 1907 bucket hanging from the rear of their 1884 pumper fire truck. http://www.ci.round-rock.tx.us/news/pumper_history.html Perhaps this bucket etiquette goes back further than we first thought. Is Round Rock, Texas anywhere near Brokeback mountain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Well you get a prize for having found the earliest bucket, but i must ask, is this pumper horsedrawn by any chance? Does the firebrigade grow roses in their yard? Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armydriver Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I live in Texas and this is my first post here, I hope not my last. I happen to be one of those military vehicle enthuasist that loves to put accounterments on his vehicle. I have a 43 CCKW and I put a canvas bucket under the spare jerry can strap, duffle bags on the fenders and anything else that a driver would have had in a combat situation during WWII. I have enjoyed reading your posts on this subject. Thanks for letting a Texan meander around your site. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 The tow hitch? why where else would I or can I hang it :? Hmm. Have you read all of the posts on this subject? Would you claim to have "come out of the garage"? You do understand that your bucket will suffer unecessary ware and possibly even develop a hole?

AlienFTM Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 The tow hitch? why where else would I or can I hang it :? On our Ferrets the canvas bucket lived safely out of the way at the bottom of the most awkward wheel-arch bin, festering, usually in a puddle of oil from the oil can or grease from the grease gun. It only ever saw light of day for a kit check. (No, no, a CES check, not a barf after a night on the wee.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) This was such a superb topic, it would be shame to let it fall by the wayside. Have we seen this picture before? Or this one? Buckets were there for the select few that liked to expose them in public, but i still believe that they were never carried from the tow hook unless you were wanting to send a message to a like minded person who likes to get his bucket out! Comments and abuse anybody? Tim (too) Edited May 25, 2010 by Marmite!! Photo link repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
