This 1920 Doane Stakebed Transfer Truck is powered by a 48-horsepower Waukesha 491 cubic inch 4-cylinder engine with a 3-speed transmission and has a load capacity of 12,000 pounds. The operator's manual warns "Operation of this vehicle at speeds in excess of 20 miler per hour voids the manufacturer's warranty."

This chain-drive truck, built in San Francisco, was used by the Oregon Transfer Company to deliver freight from ship docks to retailers like Meier & Frank. A winch behind the cab was used to drag heavy crates on board.

  1. Hello, I meant a man today at a tractor show who has an all original running 1918 Doane Low bead steak bed, built in San Francisco, Ca. He is wanting to sell it. If anyone is interested please contact me. Thank You, Susan
