Great Video Steve I rebuilt 2 C60 Chevy tank trucks for my Pennzoil Distributor business Excellent explanation of the reel,pump and hose worked I noticed the “Money Maker” head been removed! On top of the mix we before the hos the product goes through a meter that prints a ticket. That’s. What you give the customer It is a triplicate copy one for them one for you and one for the company. In some states your meters must be certified by Weights and Measures just like fuel pumps. The meters were really expensive as is all the pumping gear and was often removed when a truck got sent to Valhalla!Super video, It amazes me to think of driving that tanker on a January night with 4000 gallons at 8lbs to the gallon(32000)lbs with that little stove bolt up front It would be following every rut with that independent front end. Snow driving down and someone out of heating oil. No wonder the drivers smoked unfiltered Lucky Strikes. Keep up the great work I’m a big fan
Lots of old iron in that yard - surprising to see it that close the a metro area as most were scrapped long ago. The rail up on top by the tank hatches / covers also is a spill protection device and usually had a pipe at the rear to drain off any excess from overfilling the tank. I learn a lot from your videos - keep up the good work.
Bernardston is almost to Vermont, about as far from metros as you can get in Massachusetts. I used to deliver oil for Cleghorn Oil in Fitchburg and then Marane Oil in Worcester.
Love how the truck is rusted to the point where its falling apart and yet the hose can still be pulled out and hand cranked back in. Shows how good they made things back in the day
I love old tank wagons! I'd like to see when the tank body was constructed, the tank body looks mid 40's- early 50's to me. There should be a plate with the builder, date of completion and capacity. The tanks didn't wear out, the trucks did. It was not uncommon for the tanks to out live several truck chassis. Anything pre 50's with the original chassis/tank body is pretty rare. The rapid road development of the 1950's and higher driving speeds doomed a lot of the older trucks and the tanks went on more modern, more highway friendly chassis like this Chevy. My 52 F8 tanker with it's "Cargo King" Lincoln V8 is giving all she has to manage a top speed of 40mph empty. The reason it survived intact is she worked an airport then a mining company, no need for speed. I still see the occasional vintage tank body like mine still in use albeit on more modern truck chassis.
Thanks for the tank explanation on that truck. Once here in Scandinavia 🇸🇪 many homes was heated by that oil but today that oil heating system is nearly gone. You have a nice day over there and thanks for your videos. 😄👍
Thanks for that Steve. My Father delivered oil (for ESSO) back in the 60's. I remember (as a little kid) him having about a 1965 Cab over GMC or Chev single axle oil truck. Looking at the tank, meter and hose reel brought back the memories.
I've had this discussion with an old trucker years ago, the baffles are for braking. The sloshing would continue to push a truck after coming to a stop.
Ahh yes baffles. So much fun for me. I inspect pressure vessels. All road going vessels require a 5 year recertification. I go inside and inspect all of the welds. Those damn baffles take a bit of gymnastics to get around. But they are certainly necessary.
And this had one master cylinder with only one set of brake lines. Mass DOT must have inspected brake lines marinated in salt brine annually. Still risky.
This truck fascinates me for some reason. It just looks cool, even in this sad condition. I bet it was quite a truck in it's day. I'm going to build a custom of this truck in 1/64 scale.
Back in the day it was common to see those trucks with 2 or 3 compartments. In farm country they needed gasoline, heating oil, and kerosine / stove oil. The battery in the back was the best way to get juice for the hose reel without running a heavy cable up front. It did recharge from the truck's generator via a smaller wire.
Yeah Steve, back in the good and common sense days when there was no war on the gift of oil and gas. God bless the drillers and deliverers of this commodity that The Lord has blessed us with!
There is still a Deane Excavating in Bernardston Mass. Could this truck have been used for fueling their equipment on the job sites? That wouldn't be unusual. Another educating video, thanks Steve.
My grandfather ran a service station from 1960 to the early 90s, his first truck was a chevy I6 not unlike this one. He always said it ate points and condensers, they put in new ones about every 1000 miles.

Can't believe you still use oil to heat with. I remember when living in Illinois in the late 1970's oil jumped up so much that people were switching over to natural gas & propane because of the price. As I remember it jumped from around $.40 a gallon to about $1.00 darning the bad days of hyperinflation and the second Arab oil embargo.
heating oil is still king in the northeast. Mostly in areas where natural gas is not available. Have you priced natural gas or propane lately? Not worth the price of a conversion unless the equipment is going to be replaced due to age.
If the gas lines are not laid, fuel oil, propane,wood stove or electric heat is all your choices. In the NE US and Maritime Canada, gas isn't always available
First learned of Torsion from watching TV series Movin' On in the mid 70's as their Kenworth had it. And as a model kit builder found the AMT Movin' On truck kit had Hendrickson leaf, but the earlier release KW 925 Watkins boxing had Torsion. I think it had too many customer complaints as being too complicated or difficult to assemble, so was dropped.
Great stuff and a rare find. I'd love to see this one rescued and restored just the way it came in its former working life, staying with the original six under the hood, of course!
Ya might ought to think about natrual gas to heat with for the future. Especially, since everything is headed full steam ahead toward electrification, there won't be enough electricity to go around in peak seasons.
Oh yes, I always 'put them back like I found them" after shooting a video. This also includes closing doors and windows that were opened for access. And yes, that tanker hatch was shut again. It didn't show on the video but there was a strong small of oil all inside the tank as soon as I opened the hatch! Nothing alive in there! Thanks for watching, Steve Magnante
A lot of those old "class 2" (Massachusetts designation) vehicles didn't have huge engines. It was the gearing that got the job done. Remembering back to the school bus, most drivers started off in second gear. 1 was a super-low gear, only used for hill starts or sticky situations.
It was mostly because of the independent front suspension. There’s more adjustment in it so it’s easier to knock it out of line. Compared to a traditional straight axle where you’d have to physically bend something or knock the axle loose from the spring to change the alignment. It is possible to make an independent front end that would hold up, but it’d be so heavy there isn’t really an advantage. Especially as they’ve gotten better with the geometry of the straight axles over the years.
Floating axle shafts have reduced bending moments on them, so they should last longer, especially on high GVW vehicles. ...and hey, if you axledentally drive into some deep water, you can just float on the surface until someone tosses you a rope.
“Stove oil”, as my high school buddy’s dad called it, was excellent as a cleaning solvent for car parts and other things. He always bought five or so gallons from the guy delivering to his neighbor when he showed up.
@@OffTheBeatenPath_ ... yup, stove oil is kero. Back in the day it was common to see a 3 part tank to do kero, heating oil / diesel, and gasoline in farm country.
I remember as a kid in the New Jersey winters when we would have to go out in the snow and find the oil fill cap on the front lawn. We would put an empty soup can over it so if we needed an oil delivery the driver could easily find it. I

your suppose to pull the shafts when you tow a truck on drive axle so the diff and trans don't spin and kill the trans they probably didnt put them back in after towing it there or maybe the diff was locked up so they had to pull them to move it?
Virtually everything about the creation purpose and use of that vehicle involved the use of hydrocarbons. Todays green vehicles are far from carbon neutral. Go miners and drillers. Thank you for horse power warmth and keeping the lights on! 🤘
hauling was slow for sure. I drove an old Mack (1961?) with a six as a 2800 gallon tanker truck in the fire department. It had a 5 speed crash box with a 2 speed rear. Took forever to go the max of about 50 mph. Some hills around town required going back to 1st gear and just crawling against the governor, which was about 3 mph.
@@waterheaterservices ... I was also the driver training officer.... and for some reason everyone wanted to qualify on this truck, although few got good enough to pass the test. Other odd options on these older trucks were air brakes with a "trolly brake" lever on the steering column (hill holder?) and a lever style parking brake that operated a band / drum on the driveshaft. Did I mention no power steering on a 30,000 pound vehicle?

Hello T'airn'KA, the torsion bar front suspension is just fine for any normal use on the road. But - apparently according to many reports from owners - when used on heavy duty trucks in any sort of off road setting, like a sand pit, unpaved, rutted roads, etc. it was easy to knock the front tires out of alignment. Think of it, with all those ball joints, bushings, tie-bars and anchor points to flex from jounce-rebound, the basic strength of an old-school beam axle and parallel leaf springs is no surprise. That's why in 1963 GM phased in the 1959-style beam axle back into production as an option before making it standard in 1964. THANKS for watching and writing, Steve Magnante
Wood tanks were also gotten rid of because the wood would throw sparks worse than steel . Wood sparks are the leading cause of forest fires. Smokey the bear died in a wood spark fire caused by scratching his ass on a tree.
Actually, trees are the leading cause of forest fires. Trees are bad, and useless. That's why loggers are clear cutting all trees in California. When they are done, there will be no more fires out there and everyone will be safe from these damn trees. We need to eliminate more forests. It's the only way to stamp out fire danger. And also we will have more paper which is a bonus.
Inside of the tank was really well preserved by the home heating oil 👍
I noticed that as well.
Got my Tetanus shot and ready to watch Steve's videos.

That's why in 1963 GM phased in the 1959-style beam axle back into production as an option before making it standard in 1964. THANKS for watching and writing, Steve Magnante
@@SteveMagnante Thanks for the clarification. ;-)
Shut that fuel door !
He did!
Those caps would be cool in a man cave.
Hey steve, HMU if you come across any dana 70's with 8 lugs
That rear right tire is still holding air!
and on a ticking bomb split rim
steve-that joe fellow stopping drilling and exploration is causing the shortage not russia.
It's a shame that truck is just rotting away. It would be cool to save it and turn it into a like an oil tanker camper or something crazy
Did you close that lid?
Yes he did!!
Wood tanks were also gotten rid of because the wood would throw sparks worse than steel . Wood sparks are the leading cause of forest fires. Smokey the bear died in a wood spark fire caused by scratching his ass on a tree.
couldn't find a rabbit anywhere
Actually, trees are the leading cause of forest fires. Trees are bad, and useless. That's why loggers are clear cutting all trees in California. When they are done, there will be no more fires out there and everyone will be safe from these damn trees. We need to eliminate more forests. It's the only way to stamp out fire danger. And also we will have more paper which is a bonus.
Smokey got shot for stealing that hat from a highway patrolman, or a US Mall Marshal 🤠
I hope you take great care not to cut yourself on that rusted metal.
