That is an awesome truck. There was a small American truck manufacturer in Henderson, North Carolina, USA, about 40 miles from where I live now.
Can you post pics of the data tags, please!
From the Corbitt website: "From 1939-1945 Corbitt designed and built over 3,200 50SD6 6-ton, 6x6 prime movers for the US Army. These trucks were equipped with either the 779 or the 855 cubic-inch Hercules 6-cylinder gasoline engine. They were used in every theater of operation during World War II. Corbitt lacked production capacity for all the trucks needed, so White, Brockway, Ward LaFrance, and FWD all built the same or very similar trucks. Altogether, over 10,000 of these trucks were built by the five manufacturers."
See the attached photo of a Corbitt.
