Capacity of Truck in Photograph?

[Mike K]

Hard to see from the pic but it looks like a 1941 model 1 Tonner ? The running boards are short , don't extend to the rear guards like the 15 cwt model ? 17" wheels . GMH cab with the opening screen. The line laying pole is a field mod done by the signallers .

I examined the remains of the same model truck up near Benalla , some years ago. Sadly they had disassembled the vehicle and bits n pieces were scattered around a rubbish tip on a farm. The chassis was there and in good shape but most of the bodywork was missing

These models seem to be rarer than the Ford version of which quite a few have survived.
