Significant number of 1938 Ford truck in Luftwaffe with unusual bed

[Bill Murray]

Hi Ivan:

Thank you for the excellent photos.

I am posting here a few more, another of the 1943 delivery to Hungary and some 1935 models, also Hungarian.

It could be that your new photos are also of Hungarian vehicles, at least the tanker bodies are almost identical. A bit odd that two photos show Chevrolet Pag-Trekkers and I am not sure if they made it from Holland to the East but everything is possible.

Unfortunately, we had a major flood from a burst water pipe in the ceiling of our dining room last week and the house is a disaster with all of the dining room furniture sitting in hallways and in our living room and stacks and boxes of dishes, glassware and silverware piled all over the living room.

We have to replace the ceiling, the flooring and the wallpaper and that will take another week and a half.

So, my research has to fit in with helping my wife and sister-in-law pack things up and moving them around so as to empty the dining room in preparation for it's restoration.

Interesting thread, can't add much besides that fact that the picture indeed shows a Dutch "Pag-trekker" (AT gun tractor). I would not be surprised that they ended up on the Eastern Front, will look if I can find any more.



For comparison I added a factory shot of Ford-based PAG-Trekkers
