Charawacky Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 See: http://www.prewarcar.com/index.php?option=com_caradvert&view=ad§ion_id=1&id=73067&Itemid=432 Very Good starting point Cannot see a gearbox? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redherring Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Great potential. There's a similar Packard (painted bright green) at the Iowa 80 trucking museum. It has the later radiator with the long bolts. Also a very big motor. Does anyone know the range of motor sizes Packard produced at this time?

Great War truck Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Interesting how they keep turning up. Now if you could just find a Peerless like that then i might be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case an WWI FWD. Been looking for one here in OZ for 30 years. Those 5 or 6 I have found are not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Peskett Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I assume the lorry on offer is a model 4D shaft drive. The engine size would be 4.5" x 5.5" . A smaller model turned up under a shed at Woolston, Southampton about 15 years ago, devoid of all entrails etc. it probably went for scrap. There is a good write up on the model 4D in Automobile Engineer May 1919 -Military Transport Chassis - their performance under war conditions. Richard Peskett.
