I recently came into possession of a maintenance manual for the above cargo truck.

I am never going to find one, so is there much of a market for these manuals please?

I have seen an odd photo of one or two in the states, but never this side of the pond.  EBAY.COM  I'd suggest, if you are prepared to post internationally, limited market so not huge value.

Like most 4 x 2 trucks they would be popular for ordinary commercial use post war and probably got run into the ground.  UK probably got a Lend-Lease batch.

There are a few photos of them in British hands on the internet - three patterns: early with commercial hard-top cab, the EHU with a forward control cab and the one as pictured, the later style with more military appearance, soft-top cab and large, plain mudguards.  The initial contract was for a mere 70 and these were bought, ie pre-lend lease, but many more followed.  In British service they were rated as 3 tonners under code 6240/00.
