1930's Truck ID?

[John McGillivray]

Can someone ID the year and make of this truck from the Bell Telephone Co. I believe that it is my dad sitting on top of the truck’s cab.

John..
It looks like it could be a 1929 Dodge..Not much to ident it by but look at the wheels on this one I post,a one ton but your dads looks like a three ton....and the area behind the seat was Dodge too..
Some had a narrow high window in that area..
But look at the big knoby bottom door hinge..it sticks out two inches at least..Dodge I say..
The slots on the hood are Dodge also..any other pictures..??maybe a front shot would be asking too much..

Thank you Alex for your reply.

That is the only photo of the truck that I have, however, in another photo you can see a car with a 1932 Quebec licence.

I blew up parts of the truck’s photo. The first appears to show a Max Load of 1 ½ ton. The second is the detail of the wheel.

Here are other photos from the time he was working with Bell Telephone. From his military service records he was with BTC from 1927 to 1936 and with Northern Electric between 1936 and 1940.
