The 1st truck is a Chev C60L. ID clues are the driveshaft goes up to a bearing block midway along the chassis, not direct to the Transfer case. Note the interesting use of a 134"wb 2pdr Portee body on a 158"wb truck: the wheel arch is 20 inches forward of the tyre! I think the trailer is well within the towing capacity, if not in the driver's feild of vision!
2nd truck is a 134"wb 2pdr Portee. Can't determine if Ford or Chev, but I believe most were on Chev trucks.

Thanks for the useful informations!

Is the truck a C30 or a C60 S?

Scotch blocks or chocks used when winching the gun up onto the deck.

Definitely a Chev. You can make out the radiator overflow tank above the front left mudguard.

I ment the wheels etc. I guess its the carriage for the gun, but I'll only learn by asking
