Wow, its amazing how well things stay so preserved in the desert. Other pics I have seen looks like constant sand blasting so rust can't get a chance to start.

Kuno,
Is that an F30S or an F60L? The tyre looks like a 10.50x16 sand tyre. It is certainly an early Cab 11, with the lifting rings behind the bumper bar. I have an early F30S Cab 11 with Chevrolet diffs here. You have shown this one before, but it is a great artifact of WW11. Regards Rick.

Nice find, Kuno!
Here are two more pictures found on the internet somewhere, reportedly taken in Egypt. Do you recognise them? Here's hoping David H. can tell us more about L4629081. Hanno

Number
That's a Mid-East theatre number I think. I am guessing, after a bit of detective work, that it's a # 12 cab model EC01QF F60L deilvered to Alexandria under Demand S/M 2019. E.g. L 4713093, as per IWM PHOTO KID 2453 which had sand tyres.

Hanno; I can confirm that the two above shown wrecks are lying in Egypt. I personally have not seen them yet...
...but would definitely like to. Unfortunately, desert-travelling becomes more and more difficult these days. For Egypt, you do not only have to take a military officer wth you, as it was in recet years but - depending on where you want to go- between 4 and 8 additional armed policemen with two additional trucks and two additional drivers. These are definitely not conditions I am used to have and even want to have :-(.

F30
A F30 is a F30. It's the F60 that is a L or S. Long has 12' body and short is a F30 with higher spring rating. The 11 Cab F30, as found by Kuno, had Marmon Harrington axles (i.e. Banjo)
