In France there is an other WHITE 704 , certainly an "ex French contract".
So ,ALEX, your truck has a little brother in FRANCE

Default White 704

Hello

In France we can find (but it's becoming more and more difficult) such lorry in very good state with there original body like the one showed in my post reply. Nevertheless the most part of them have knowed civilian life and all military markings have been erased and also the body modified or changed.

So about this truck , the only thing we know about it's story is that it was stored more than 15 years in the garage before to see the light again six years ago.
Sorry but there is no "Chrimas story " attached to this truck !!!

Regards

Although,

The windscreen contour seems to be slightly different, I thought this picture would find a good place in this thread.



from the link in our scrapyards in France thread: http://www.forum-auto.com/automobile...251-113995.htm

hello ALEX

You are right , the WHITE 704 I had posted , has losted it's original windscreen. Nevertheless it owns an original woody body.
Do you know the fate of the truck showed in you last post reply?
