AAF Oshkosh W700 Truck w/Snowblower
Located in central Kansas zip 67530
1944? 7-1/4 Ton Oshkosh. Fred Crismon's book pg286 75 units built by Oshkosh. Still retains AAF hood registration number. Both engines have been running. Air brakes were fully functioning when last driven. Truck was assigned to Great Bend Army Airfield during WW2 and sold surplus to the city in 1947.

What a nice rig! Just a little too much snow blower for my needs though.

It took a real man to drive these, and many a runway light and hidden automobile were digested by one of these.

Re: FS AAF Oshkosh W700 Truck w/Snowblower
Funny you mention vehicles. The city got this when the base closed in 1947. It was occasionally driven into the city following large snowfalls. I remember it blowing snow off our main st. in 1981. That year on a drift blocked street it munched a white VW beetle that was completely buried. The city never used it in town again.

Whether it is possible to take the picture of the plate of the truck? I am interested in number of the contract.

17xx serial
Does have a odd diagonally stamped U.S.32 in lower left corner

Re: AAF Oshkosh W700 Truck w/Snowblower
Probably keeping this old girl for now.
I am in need of a nice windshield assembly and the Climax / Klauer engine radiator (located at the rear of the vehicle)
Any leads appreciated.

Re: AAF Oshkosh W700 Truck w/Snowblower
I saw this old post the other day. I will be parting out a 1941 SnoGo blower drive unit with a Climax engine this summer. It has a good radiator assembly. If you still need one please let me know.
