1920’s Oilfield T

Post by John kuehn » Sat Oct 26, 2024 9:19 pm

Here’s a photo of a Halliburton oilfield worker supposedly in Duncan Oklahoma. Or so say the photo caption story.
Looks like the T Roadster was really being used in the oilfield. The turtle deck has been removed and a makeshift bed has been added for a utility truck and etc.

Apparently the worker satisfaction of Halliburton employees has not improved over the last 100 years?

Are those two FWDs in the background, converted to balloon tyres ?

Yeah, those look like early FWDs. In the 20's, you could get them with Balloon tires at that time.

Here's one of them, apparently in the Halliburton head offices.
