I need info about Skoda-Diesel truck

[Sturm78]

Hi all,

I found this image on the Web (Sorry, I do not remember the exact source ), showing a Skoda-Diesel truck in german WH service. I have searched information about this truck but I have not found nothing. Can anyone help me?
Specifications, years of manufacture, german use, ....

Thanks in advance. Sturm78

Hi Sturm:

For the moment, this is all I have and I think it is post war. I believe the truck is a 4-4.5 tonner.

Me think slightly lesser variant (3 to 4-ton) Škoda 406D; definitively pre-war one.

My Dear Edge:

I am now looking totally foolish on my knees and bowing towards Serbia like a Muslim to Mecca.

Thank you so much for that link to the Skoda site. Even in Czech language, I have now been able to ID maybe 20 25 formerly unknown vehicles in my file of 1.500 unknowns.

English translation works well. :roll: (I'm not sure for "save as" option)

Glad to be of some help for you (usually it's vice versa)

Hi Bill and The Edge,

Thank you very much for your answers and link. I agree with you: Skoda 406 Diesel. Only 45 manufactured!! A rare truck

Hi there,
I just want correct something (it's never late), this truck is Skoda 404D! I can tell it by location of steering mechanism cover, that is little bulge down on right side of radiator grille. Skoda 406 had it far back, because of longer engine used. Skoda 404D four cylinders, 406D six cylinders. I can scan and sent to you mainteance dravings from operators manuals I own for Skoda 404D and Skoda 606D. Skoda 606D share same engine as Skoda 406D, so you can compare it itself.
If you have some unidentified captured vehicles of probably Czech origin, I think I can help with some.
