This is a 1926 White Tank Truck.

This White truck began its career in 1926 when it was driven from Detroit to Montana by Eddie Fritzen and delivered to Murphy Oil Company. Eddie hired on with what became Chevron USA, Inc., and retired after about 45 years of service.

The truck remained on active duty throughout the Rocky Mountain region for 75 years, after which, Chevron donated it to the Forney Museum.

In recent years, the truck represented Chevron's Rocky Mountain Division for its promotion in parades and other events.

Donation was arranged by W. B. Jackson, Production Manager, Rocky Mountain Division, Chevron USA, Inc.
