1. On the picture below it si visible some box behind the cab. Is it an additional fuel tank (because of expected long routes of tractors) or some tool box? Was it a standard fitting for the tractors?

2. Were all tractors with rear wheel drive only or were made also tractors with all wheel drive?

Thanks in advance for your comments
Jan.
The box is a tool box. These were normally made and fitted by the different units so there is no real fixed size nor location.

Some of these probably would have been all wheel drive as the tractor, I believe, was only a Short Wheel base cab and chassis with a fifth wheel fitted to take the trailer.

At a converted rate of about $33AUD it is not bad price and would be worth getting.

Can anyone shed some light onto the area between the cab and tray of the SWB Studebaker? Just like a GMC 352 there seem to be two spare wheels behind the cab, but looking at the picture that Les posted there seems to be some contraption just behind, or maybe even attached to, the spare wheel.....maybe a device to help move the spare wheel from it's rest?
The GMC's 352 had two smaller gas tanks behind the cab mounted sideways, but when I look closely at Les' picture, the Studebaker seems to have the normal "large" fuel tank mounted in the center(?).

Does anyone know of anymore pictures of the SWB Studebaker in British serive, or any SWB Studebaker pictures at all? (there is one of the right hand side on a Rumanian website)
