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 |
