Biederman ---
Trucks, give me trucks!!! --- I'M LIKING TRUCKSWhen we see what we want to see, and hear what we want to hear---- all too often we miss the point!
I'm where I'm at when I'm all there! But,when I'm here, how can I be all there?

Although this neat looking big wrecker is from Cincinnati, which was Biederman's home city, I'm going to say it's an Indiana 20X6.

I should have paid more attention to past WAIs.

The Cincinatti Towing Service threw a few of you off, so perhaps a few of you should have looked at the old WAI's with John. This big 6x6 is a 1932 QMC Group IV 7-1/2 to 9 ton truck. While my records show that this photo has not appeared in the WAI before, we have featured the QMC models before. The U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps built their own trucks from 1928 to 1932. Many of these trucks became the "blueprints" of what other manufacturers would build for the armed forces through the rest of the 1930's. Many of the QMC trucks bear an uncanny resemblance to the big Marmon-Herrington all wheel drives. This is no co-incidence, as Arthur Herrington was chief engineer on the QMC project until he quit to form M-H in 1931. Bill White had this 1st. The QMC tanker is from Don MacKenzie.
