Freightrain Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like a MB Mack cab with a Binder grille? Or is it just me? Kinda resembles the dual engine Diamond T with that nose sticking out.

41chevy Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 To me it looks like a I.H. Transtar 4300 cab made into a Cab Forward, much like they did in the states when they made the Conco COE.

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Larry the model # for the IH Conco is F-4170. Conco is short for convential cabover. Joe D. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39820-butter-box/#findComment-288394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Vlad the yellow single axle could be an IH W-3042=L COE built in Emeryville,California non tilting cab. The one in center black and white photo is a IH W-4064-L COE. They were built in 1946 1947 according to the IH Truck Book by Fred W. Crimson. Joe D.
