alsfarms Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I am embarking on what is a "long shot" project to resurrect a 1918 Riker 4 ton truck. Do you have or know of any derelict Riker or Locomobile truck pieces and parts? I will consider anything at this moment but am most interested, currently, in a transmission. If you can share any direction, or sob stories send me a note. 🙂 The attached is a factory picture of a Riker truck being prepared to serve in WW1.

alsfarms Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Here are three pictures that show phantom views of the Riker four speed transmission that I am looking for. If you see something like this or you have something in your way, I can put it to good use. Drop a note. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Has anyone seen a heavy truck frame or even just the front "engine" section of a frame that is left over from a previous use? (refer to the picture attached) Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsfarms Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Does anyone know of ancient truck frames, laying in the hedgerow that have either 14 spoke wood wheels as shown in the second picture above or the cast iron wheels as shown just above? Attach a picture or two if you know of any. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Here is another vintage picture of a Riker parts and pieces. I would like to share information also. If you can help this Riker come back together, please drop a note. Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I am in need of many parts in order to build the Riker truck project. I was shared a picture from the 2009 Archie Crippen estate auction in Fresno California. I would like any information relating to the Riker pictured below. If you know the location and owner of this Riker, currently, please share your information with me. If nothing else, it would be good to see a complete truck in person to take pictures and measurements. Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 As you are traveling about, please keep you eyes open for any hedgerow truck pieces that look similar to the trucks in the pictures provided here. With help, I think I can build another Great war veteran truck. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
