Here are a couple early trucks

I HAD THIS TANK WAGON BUILT FOR BULK OIL DELIVERIES,IT HAS TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE PUMPING SYSTEMS,WHICH CUTS DOWN ON THE TIME OF DELIVERIES AND THE COMMINGLING OF PRODUCT.

THE DRAY DELIVERED PACKAGED PRODUCTS AND WAS SET UP TO PUMP DRUMS OR PUMP FROM A 400 GALLON TANK IN THE NOSE.

YOU CAN SEE SOME OF OUR OTHER TRUCKS IN THE BACKGROUND.WE SOLD MOBIL LUBRICANTS AND CHEVRON LIGHT PRODUCTS.
THIS IS A OLD PICTURE OF A STANDARD - KYSO TANKWAGON,IF YOU PAINTED THEM THERE COLORS (GREEN)STANDARD OIL PAID HALF.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
