I'd say they have enough similarities to both be Freightliners, no clue on model name. Apparently these were referred to as "half cabs". |

Cook Brothers was a small manufacturer in Los Angeles that built similar trucks with the same grille, but as with your Freightliner the bumper/headlights don't match: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksnell707/2910963449 https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksnell707/3317234415 Also resembles but does not match Fabco WT-Series, mainly used in agriculture: http://dailydieseldose.com/fabco-trucks/ I remember seeing a Reo or Diamond T (with the model name Q-Series maybe?) like this on Hank's Truck Pictures, but the site is defunct. -- Last edit: 2023-05-03 23:18:48 |

Have you tried the Wayback Machine? |

I did; Hank denied them access: "Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine." |

It seems 1953 Kenworth Cab-Beside-Engine truck's cab was the template for other half cab trucks Hendrickson Corbitt Crane Carrier Corporation CCC Available truck Illinois Chikago with this one, it's not just the cabin that seems similar, unfortunately the make cannot be recognized. |

I believe the make would be Cook Brothers. Here's an M130 model. (Obviously Not The Same Truck) Specs come from any "Big-Four" related brand. (White, Reo, Freightliner, etc) I assume these are just made using parts from each division. -- Last edit: 2023-05-05 15:48:05 |

Obviously the same press tools were used here! The way of punching frame parts was also copied. A detail that comes up again and again is the ventilation flap for the driver. What we are still missing is the smoking gun, like a label on top of the grille mask. |

I also suggest a Crane carrier truck... https://m.facebook.com/groups/1500117276962142/ https://www.builderssupply.net/company (does anyone in the room have aspirin? ) -- Last edit: 2023-06-05 20:26:56 |
