Chev or Ford?
Ford.
Clearly there is too much weight for a Chev to move under it's own steam. HH

Chev
I think because:
There appears to be the remains of a mirror bracket attached to the upper door hinge. Ford would be between the hinges. The 'profile' of the rear differential looks much to flat and broad to be a Ford. |

about the best I can do
I reckon I can see the bottom of the shock absorber arm pertruding below the axel housing on the left side which would make it chev.
That would explain why they have so many passengers, a ford would be just to fast for anyone to hop on, he he Here is a photo of a chev |

I reckon it's a Chev too
I enlarged and fiddled with the contrast a bit...

a puzzle
This photo has got me thinking...
There are some things that does not match up as I see it.. First, the rear fenders (wings??) does not look like any fenders used at any Canadian waterbowser I have seen before. They look more like fenders from a trailer. The runningboard on the side looks like on a normal truck, and not as on waterbowser where they goes much further back. And the arrangement on the back looks like it is to close to the cabinet (where the two blokes are standing). So this might be some field modification where the tank is put on another truck than it originated from. Any comments?? Rolf |
