Vehicle Description
This highly detailed and restored 1927 Moreland RR6 gasoline tanker
truck underwent an extensive 12-year restoration with correct
presentation and attention to authentic details in mind. The truck
is a great piece of automotive transportation history with 11 miles
since the completion of its restoration. This truck is powered by a
matching-numbers Continental straight-6 engine mated to a 3-speed
manual transmission. The engine and all components are new or
original restored. This detailed truck retains its original Union
Oil Safety aluminum brass-labeled kit and brochure, as well as a
first-aid package that includes bandages and a pair of scissors and
tweezers from 1927. The labels, dash plates and the original
information plates have all been restored and attached correctly.
It rides on its original steel wheels with new, correct tires, and
the spare still wears its original tire. The truck bed is finished
and sealed in bright Roman Red paint, and the decking and roof ribs
were custom-made and sealed in clear coat. All of the hardwood on
this truck is solid oak. The main gas tank is a three-division gas
unit and has three openings with large brass fittings on top and
three rear outlets for filling in the back. This truck also
features a filling hose, brass inlet and outlet, and a side tool
box with authentic period-correct tools and sleeves for caps and
lugs. The lock on the side front step tool chest is authentic as
well, with a solid brass lock and key.
