Bit hard to say without seeing the whole vehicle but it looks to be a 1941 Chevrolet C60L Cab 12.

Keith; that sounds very much plausible - the diary giving the story to the photo talks about "3 tonner Chevrolets".

Default Chevrolet c60l cab 12

Hello KUNO

The truck is a CHEVROLET C60L with cab number 12.
Two thing lead us to this conclusion
1/The shape a the push barr (in front of the truck) made with a loop around the bumper
2/ the circulare hole for the aeration of the inner of the cab

3/ may be (I d'ont have the pic in front of me screen) the cylinder on the fleft wing use for liquid expantion

Keith hit it exactly as a 1941 Chevrolet C60L Cab 12. And yes Serge, that expansion tank is strictly Chev.
