Default Mystery lorry 2

I wondered what that is in the back behind the Diamond T wrecker? I thought it might be a FWD HAR-1.

Hi David:
Photos of this vehicle are not all that abundant, but the ones I have in books and off the internet would lead me to say probably not.
The windscreen "header" is thicker in your photo than the ones I have of this vehicle. The door handles are also not seen on the photos I have and the rear view mirror seems to also be out of place.
Having said all of that, I haven't a bloody clue what the vehicle is and I commend you also that you were able to ID the Diamond T from such a fuzzy photo.
Bill

PS: You need to go to bed now.

Bill I have to say to thee,
t'was not me,

The mystery truck reminded me of a FWD HAR-1.

Default Makes 100% sense

We know that they assembled Mack NM6 "tractors" and that suggestion makes a load of sense therefore! Thanks.

Hi David:
Nice poetry, I am no longer capable of such.

OK, windscreen design matches the Mack, and one can give away on the mirrors as they were often changed out.

Just to be a bit stubborn, and I am no expert for sure, I am still concerned about the header of the windscreen where it meets the canvas part of the roof. It could be the angle of this particular photo, but most of this type of Mack that I have recorded have a very narrow band between the top of the windscreen and the canvas top. Your photo seems to have quite a wide band.

Next.............
Cheers
bill
