I came across this picture on WW2talk recently :-



http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/battle-...ya-1941-a.html

It looked unusual enough for me to grab my old Vanderveen 'bible' Is it a Mack NJU-1 Pontoon tractor ?

Yes it is Rich, the british army were shipped a small number direct from the states i think early 1941 this must be one of them. The shipment also included ponton trailers and sets of bogies not sure of the purpose but they do call the sea of sand

Default Mack Military trucks

I bought a DT 969 and where I bought it was a Mack 1943 RCAF NR 10 ton cargo truck that had single tires on the back and not front wheel drive . I did not get the serial # as I have not got back to take another look .There is no box on it as it was used to haul logs after the war . The original motor is gone as they were going to put a Cummins in it I can buy this truck but I promised my wife NO MORE TOYS .Thats worst than quiting smoking .and I have never smoked .The tires are 1400x20 .I have the Parts book TM-1544 and Maintenance Manual 10 ton 6x4 Cargo Trucks .Where could I find a Mack Lanova ED engine for this truck . An interesting thing is the manuals don't show any head lights for this truck ,just little black out lights There must not be many of these trucks in Canada .This one should be saved .Sorry to be so late with this thread but I have been away alot George
