john_g_kearney Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Have we had this one yet? Any ideas on manufacturer please? This type of lorry has appeared several times in DesertBloom's posts in use as convoy escort with boiler plate armour in the rear body. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/mpc2010003637/PP/ John.

Degsy Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think Richard Farrant identified it as an International in one of the other threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_g_kearney Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks for the tip, Degsy, I have done a search and found it in the Radio section (a section I have never looked at before...) A useful website for International photos is: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/whi/feature/mccormick/trucks.asp I cannot find the exact same model as was used for the radio truck, but it appears to have been built in the mid to late 1920s. I wonder if it was built for the export market. US market Internationals appear to have had vertical louvres in the bonnet sides and two-piece wheels, but the radio truck in Palestine has horizontal louvres, plus louvres in the bonnet top, and one piece wheels. Does the cab of the radio truck appear to sag rearwards? I think the chassis is beginning to bend. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely behind the cab, the chassis appears to be straight, so it is probably just the cab that is beginning to sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
