Rubber Mudflaps Question

[Guy Verstrepen]

Owen here on the net I once saw this picture.

I think it looks like supplied rubber with a rope processed for strength.
and he is mounted on a waterbowser.
So hopefully you have a conclusive proof of what type of mudflap was mounted there.


cheers Guy.

Thanks Guy. On closer inspection, the mudflaps in that picture are maybe canvas? Possibly a later truck?

I had the original canvas and wire mud flaps like the water truck picture above and i used the wire to fabricate a pair of replica's.

okay thanks guys

something that I have learned.
The image I posted is from a cab 13 of maybe1942. because the overflow tank of the cooling hangs outside on the nose? or is it not correct. in any case, the image had to be taken in 1942/1943, they quickly changed to canvas to save rubber, here another factory image of the same truck.
1942 CHANGES
# 13 CAB PRODUCTION BEGAN AT SERIAL # 284XX01524?
