Ford Wreck in the Desert (1)

[Kuno]

Dear All

Friends of mine have recently found the wreck of a FORD in the libyan desert. Sadly, the pictures they have taken are not very helpful to identify the truck. Until now, I have "googled" for ages but found no sure evidence of the type of the truck.

There are indications, that it has belonged to either LRDG or SDF once (the brackets for the Sand-Ladders on the mudguard). however, the front-grill is not the one of a CHEVROLET neither a FORD V8. for mee it looks like the one of a MARMON HERRINGTON. MH-trucks werde used by the LRDG Heavy Section. But as far as I know, they had only the "big ones".

So, if anybody has an idea, I would be gratefull for information!


Best regards, Kuno
