That thing sure was a beast of an armoured car wasn't it.

Hi Jordan...The last civilian vehicles made in Hamilton were the KB series trucks..in 1941...(I hade one.a KB 2,1941)..I bought it from the original owner who took the train from Prince Albert Sask.and picked it up at the factory and drove it home.
He told me those were the last ones there and the were building "Tanks" when he was there to get his truck...they may have been building half tracks ,that would look like a tank to a Saskatchawan farm boy..
Anyway the wheels are the same as used on the KB and COE 4&5 International..I can't see the rear wheels but they were also spoked..
THis is out of the KB manuals..
Front wheel...
