That truck seems to have a bent front axle...the right-side (driver's) front wheel is at an angle!
Flat-front Chevy?

This one looks like a Studebaker US6, grille is slightly wider than a GMC CCKW and bonnet front edge does not have as much curve as a GMC. Wings are also much like a Stude, except the vertical part seems to taper in towards the chassis towards the bottom.

'29 Pontiac
Quote:
Hi Dave The first Picture is a 1933 Pontiac.. Look at the vertical trim in the Rad face center..and the curved lower window frames..look also at the louver location on the engine cowl...well to the back half of the cowling..a true measure of Pontiac styling.. Only Ford..Essex and Pontiac had that curved lower grill in those days./..Dodge ..Chev..International all had straight across lower window frames.. I may be wrong but see for yourself... The fenders are different on the '32-'33 Pontiac but the grill and lower window frame are similar.. All the rest of the manufacturers started the curved lower window frame in the mid -1934 -'37 years. Ford Pontiac and Essex were the style leaders. Here is a picture of a 1929 Pontiac showing the grill.. http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Pi...kup-jul27a.jpg

Gmc?
Could be a 1929 GMC T-19 1-ton with the Pontiac 6-29 engine then? Note the double-wheel rear axle that someone has added from another vehicle. Assembled by GM India, Bombay? I assume that the small T-11 and T-19 used the Pontiac front end...the heavier trucks used the Buick engine (both versions) of course. Well spotted! The reason I suggest Pontiac is that I think the 1927-29 Pontiac trucks were sold as GMCs but there has been discussion on the Canadian poncho Forum about whether they were badged as Pontiacs or not. My Branham's Guide should say if I can find it.

The fenders look different on the '29 and the others years on up ..I suspect the fenders may be from a later model but the rest is definitely Pontiac..Probably that mixed breed is a basic '29 Pontiac.. I don't think it was the 1929 GMC T-19 1-ton..The cowling..curved lower window frame and grill are wrong..It is definitely Pontiac..

Dodges?
I assume that these are Dodges
I thought that was an Autocar! It has a Leyland badge so assume that it was re-engined.

This is a later one as it has the side window vent in it..probably a '55 or '56 Fargo..probably Canadian built.

These were built in India. pic no. 187 on the left is a early Sixties Bedford CA, complete with AA badge on the grille, possibly left behind by overland travellers from the UK? pic no 059 Swiss Saurer pic no 108 Kraz 225B ....Russian military 6x6 trucks pic no 84 wartime International M426 5 ton tractor unit

Thanks
What do you make of the others in 187 next to the CA? Is that a Dodge then an odd-lookiong forward control, then a 1941-6 Chevy?
