F1 - C2 and P1
Most interesting this!!
It has "surfaced" a Biederman P1 Crane Tractor in Norway that I am on to make an article abouth. And there is almost next to nothing to be found on this maker. So I would love some photos on the Reo's, Federal's and Corbits in the same range! And if anyone have any on the Biederman, it for sure would make my day! Anyone who can help out? Also any Tech Orders or other literature on them are of great interest. Since these trucks was issued by the US Army Air Corps there is no such things as TM's and/or SNL's for them. As Far as I have learned (from other forums), there is only made Tech Orders for them. They are: The REO/Biederman F-1 tractor was TO AN-19-25-53, the Federal C-2 Wrecker/Crane was TOs AN 19-20-9, AN 19-20-10, AN 19-20-16, AN-19-20-17 So if anyone have any of these, I would love to get my hands on any of them, and a good scan/copy would do just fine! Here is a scan of the Biederman in Northern Norway. Chers Rolf PS: Any help/photos used will get you a magazine in your mailbox. |

Hello Rolf, that is a nice find as the Biederman is very rare!
Does this truck still exsist? Who was the manafacturer of the crane? I know of Thew, Lorain and Quickway but perhaps there were more. I wil post a few pictures found on the internet. First one is a Biederman. Source: www.autogallery.org.ru With best regards, Bertus. Last edited by Burts.22; 22-10-06 at 21:49. |

Still exists
bertus
Thanks for the reply Yes the Biederman still exsists and the photo was taken just a few montsh back. It is in remarkable good condition and very compleete. The new owners (fahter and son) as just started to dismantle it for a full rebuild, which will take a few Years. All the vehicles they have restored are done very professional! The crane used on it is a Michigan TM-16. The photo you show is one from one of the books of Bart Vanderveen. There is very few photos of Biedermans at all. And they only made a total of 1500 vehicles during the war. Some 300 of them was P1 Crane Trucks. Chers Rolf |

Een leuk artikel van je, betreffende het wagenpark van Kuiper en Leeuwenkamp. Ik ben al jaren op zoek naar foto's van die door jou ook genoemde Dukw's (inderdaad met die houten flonders). Door ons werk op het strand van Schoorl (1970 - 2006) heb ik de Dukw's vaak aan het werk gezien , maar gek genoeg nooit een foto van gemaakt. Mijn eerste vrachtauto op het strand was een International van het type M5-H-6, bouwjaar 1943. Het leek me leuk om op het MLU forum weer eens te schrijven in het Nederlands. Wie weet tot ziens. Mvg.

Dirk and Hendrik, thank you for your replies and the pictures.
I have a huge amount of pictures spanning the period 1952-1980 but these need to be restored as they are discolored by time. Most of the negatives are quit good, but have to find a way to get those in a digital format. Comencing januari 2th Both of my eyes will be operated on and I will not be able to use the computer to half of february. That means a lot of reading to do when my eyes are ok. In the mean time I wish all users of this forum a happy 2007. Best regards, Bertus. |

Les,
Found this image of a Canadian 604 in Holland with a D7 on the back. There are a couple of interesting details on trailer. 1. No toolbox on swan-neck 2. Folding "Bees Knees" ramps (as per your timber carrier and earlier Mack EXBX and White 920) as against standard triangular ramps. Trying to find SM contract number since 604 / Trailmobile combination definitely used by RE as well as RCE in NW Europe 44-45! David |

"One of the more obscure wreckers—or vehicles of any sort—of WWII is the C2 Truck-Tractor. The Federal Model 606 truck was equipped with a Gar Wood US6T26 hoist, and was designed to be used in conjunction with a trailer for aircraft recovery and maintenance. Here one of the trucks is used to dismember a downed 8th Air Force B17 in England. National Archives"
