Nash 1 ton truck built early 1920's

G'day,
Has anyone seen any early Nash trucks about, like the one in the picture? I have found the wreck of this one, but it has had the chassis chopped and is a bit rough.

Thanks.

AG.

Hi,

I have been told of a similar truck at the Gympie Museum.

Cheers.

Good find AG. There were 100's of truck builders in the USA in the 20's with most going to the wall or absorbed by other companies in the depression. During that period Australia imported a wide range of those makes and your Nash is one of them. Typically the small (and not so small) truck builders actually made very little themselves, instead assembling components common to many other marques. For example, Continental engine, Brown-lipe transmission, Dayton cast steel wheels in the case of exports, and Timken worm drive rear end. In the 20's most makes stuck to the design parameters of the Liberty Class B which was the USA standard truck for WW1 and which only got into production as war ended. 100 years down the track the advantage is that is that parts and manuals from other trucks may be common to yours.

Quite likely the Nash truck was an in house product, Charles Nash began his company with the purchase of the Jeffrey Car Company about 1927 which produced the Jeffrey Quad a four wheel drive truck used in World War One. Saw one in the Winton Queensland museum years ago.

Just taken today the Gympie Nash is still at the Museum.

Must be GM powered...

That's harsh!
Just because of a few drops of oil?
