"At the beginning in 1912, packages were limited to a weight of 11 pounds and a combined length and girth of 72 inches. In August 1931, it was expanded to 70 pounds and 100 inches". So that's a veteran truck at that time.
They are running the Goodyear cord tires. I wish I had a set for my Bus.

Rich, I don't think those 30 X 3 1/2 Goodyear clinchers will fit your bus!

Neat photo! And thank you for the background!

Keith, your 100% correct! Blockley copied a popular Tyre tread pattern from the old days. Now I know which one it was!
Great photos again and thank you to all that post photos on the Forum
