The pictures aren't an artist's rendition. They started with actual photographs and whited out the backgrounds, airbrushed details on either a negative image or a positive print and made copies. I have some before and afters of certain pics and it does make them look semi cartoonish. I think it may have had to do with having to print the photo on an offset printing press. In the early eighties I worked with printing a little bit and we used various half-tone screens on pictures to make them printable. What did they do in the 30's and 40's? I don't know. I have various pics of different military body styles and they all show the same wheel configuration. You have two very nice trucks there! Kevin Clause
