Ford Wreck in the Desert (1)

[Tony Smith]

Cliff, the wheel rims in the truck pictured above at Kingaroy has the MCP style rims fitted. These are for a 10.50-18 tyre and feature 20 bolts for the divided rim. The Australian Marmon-Herrington trucks like the No.3 (Aust) Gun Tractors with the roadster cab had a different style of rim, a split rim with no bolts attaching the two halves. I'll try to find a detail pic of this rim.
The pic below is one of Bob Moseley's from a S.A event featuring a No.3 and a No.8 (Aust) Gun Tractor. Note the different style of rim. Was this used on US/Canadian Marmon Herrington trucks?
