antar Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi John not Franks old one that was altered coach built cab ex Delvenne heavy haulage from Belgium Franks went to A.F Budge now with Howard Francis in South Wales But Didn't Frank have an armoured one as well ? I am sure he sold it to a guy in America (before the embargo on USA built armour returning to the states) He once showed me a photo of it at Liverpool docks as it was being loaded. Peter Grey was involved in getting it through customs from France into the UK. John. PS how is Diesel Daughter doing with the Volvo ?

MichelK Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Any pictures of the M746 / 747 combination they have ? Hi John, I had to look it up first to figure out what the M746 is :-D However I think you mean the Ward LaFrance HET. To my knowledge they do not have an M746/747 combination at Overloon, at least not last year that I was there :-\ However there is an M746/747 combination at ArmyCars at Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands This are the remains of the former Marshall museum, at the same location They have an M746/747 combo and it is carry-ing an M88A1GE (German version of the M88 ARV) There is also an M747 loaded with an M47 tank You need any piciture's....:-D Is there an special thread about the M746? Because I do not want to ruine the M26 thread Follow the link :cool2: http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/panzerpanther5/ArmyCars%20museum%20Zwijndrecht/M746WardLaFranceHET-03.jpg MichelK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelK Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi folks, question, does some one have an picture of the toolbox that was fitted inside the cabin :??? That would be at the location behind the engine cover, below the opening in the roof There is an frame to hold an toolbox, however on all the picture's I could find the frame is empty MichelK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Cubed Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Were these tractor trailers really all they were cracked up to be ? was there anything else which could do the same job as well ? were they used more for moving goods or tanks as there were so few of them.

abn deuce Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 While there were other things that might be used to tow things like the Federal Wreaker then the Ward LeFrance and then smaller the Diamond T as far as I know The U.S. Army didnt have any other vehicle like the Pacific . I dont know what the production numbers were ,I m sure someone will post that information . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
