You may be right but they came off Indian web sites saying they were in India. I do not know.

Here is another Indian one Udaipur.

Suspect that the truck in the two photos at the top of post 12 ( referred to as big truck?) is in fact a Maple Leaf or parts thereof. These had heavier axles front and rear than the 1-1/2 ton.

Davis,

What a great find! It seems to be largely original, albeit in need of restoration. Seems it had to work hard for its upkeep, but that must have saved it from being scrapped.

Further to your PM, this thread you may not have seen as of yet: Bombay Chev. Also, you may want to find a copy of Wheels & Tracks Magazine issue no. 6 (they do turn up on ebay etc.) as that has an article on "Desert Chevrolets".

HTH,
Hanno

Davidstine, it is a Diamond T 981 (known as an M20) tank transporter prime mover. What is parked behind it?
