C30 cwt

With no box present or hint of what was there originally does cast doubt on what its original purpose was. It does have pig tails on the frame and fair lead on the front bumper. That and only eight numbers from a known LAAT is what makes me think that way. One more 80 year old mystery to ponder.

Lovely truck, Gordon.

It does have pig tails on the frame and fair lead on the front bumper.

Is there any sign of a canvas speaking tube ever being installed in the rear cab wall, in stead of the more normal rear sliding "window"? That could also point towards a LAAT origin.

Here are a few pictures of the chassis. A poor one of the cab but shows the rectangular plate bolted into the rear window that has the hold downs for a canvas speaking tube. The front bumper has the fair lead for the cable, there are pig tails for the cable and loup's on the frame for the scotch blocks chains.
