The levers at the right side of the photo control the lift. My HS auto shop still had those levers in the '90s.

What appears to be an "S" sticker is in the place where gas ration stickers were customarily placed on windshields during the war years. I have found explanations for the A, B, C, M, T, and the much-coveted X stickers. But I can't find any explanation for the S sticker. It seems like the truck would be eligible for the "T" sticker which would give the driver whatever gas was needed for their job. Anyone have any information?

and the greasy side down. Farewell message between truckers on the CB in the seventies.

I remember them well. They moved my family from Baltimore to Denver in 1967.

From the looks of those treads and that floor, you might wanna take it out for a drive on a dusty road first.

My uncle called his a "greasecap." For obvious reasons.

Must have been at peak popularity.

The hat with the buttons immediately made me think of the Archie Comics character Jughead. Then I saw the guy on the right has a Jughead-ish crown, too.

A little internet sleuthing taught me that the Whoopee cap "was often made from a man's felt fedora hat with the brim trimmed with a scalloped cut and turned up. In the 1920s and 1930s, such caps usually indicated the wearer was a mechanic."

One of my son's favorites.

I am guessing this is a diagram of all the places to grease and oil?
