Available Truck Company

The Available Truck Company was a truck manufacturer located in Chicago, Illinois. Sales were largely limited to the local area and less than 3000 trucks would be completed between 1910 and 1957. 
Initially the company only built 3/4 ton trucks, but by 1920 the range had expanded to include trucks of up to 7 tons capacity. The company added buses to its product line in the 1930s and by 1940 the company was offering 6x4 trucks with a capacity of 10 tons.
During World War 2 the company provided buses, wreckers and mobile cranes to the U.S. Military.
In the late 1940s Available introduced a custom chassis which was used by several fire apparatus builders including General, Boyer and Oren. 
The company was acquired by the Crane Carrier Company in 1957.
