elias_Thessaly Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Dear Friends, I have found a british lorry and I would like to identify if the truck is pre WWII model or post war. Attached photos for your comments. As fas as I know these lorries never used with the British Forces in Greece (at least in 1941). During the Greek Civil War a variety of British Armored trucks and vehicles were utilised (military aid). The tag has the letters K3ZC 49987. I wasn't able to trace any info from other open sources on internet. Pending kindly your comments Thank you Elias 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It's an Austin K3 but I don't know what 'ZC' means but it might relate to the original rear body, of which there were many types. There were 17,097 built between 1939 and mid 1945. Early ones had 34x7 tyres (later called 7.00-20) with twin rears. Later trucks were on 10.50-16 singles all round. Engine was a 60 hp six cylinder. There are very few left and in the UK that would be regarded as a good cab, ours have rusted very badly. Good luck with it. David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
