Does anyone recognise this hefty old girl? I can see some similarities to the Ward La France, but nothing that's a perfect match....?

Welcome aboard losmorales - looks like a promising idea certainly, I'll need to look into that one some more I think

I don't think it's a Kenworth or Peterbilt.Certainly too heavy for a GMC or Dodge.
There were many smaller manufacturers who would build this type of truck to order and the exact specification of the customer.
It could also be a "bitser",thrown together from various other bits by the company workshops.This was not uncommon. |

Possibly an Oskosh, a lot of details such as the front hubs, radiator grille and the location of the air filter look similar?
