Default Captured Ford F8 cab 12 Tunisia

Could be a larger model ? but fuel tanks across the cab rear ? Noticed the canvas speaking tube panel on the cab rear window. so might be a FFW truck.

Great catch, the transverse fuel tank gives it away as a 8-cwt I guess.

Part of a series by LIFE, IIRC. Have seen it on here before.
