Hi Ivan,

that´s not a Ford, but a Peugeot, type DMA. Here a pic for comparing (ebay).

Best regards

Hi Ivan,

that´s really a hard nut to crack. I would say, it could be a Mercedes-Benz type L 1500. Here two pic of this truck (source: ebay).

Best regards

Hello, Bert, always good to hear from you!

It is a tough one. You might have nailed it though - I don't see any mismatching details. But then again, I also don't see too many details in the mystery photo. In any case - thanks for helping, much appreciated!

Cheers,
Ivan

Ivan,
I believe that is a 1939 Ford G917/997T with the open Wehrmacht cab.
Cheers,
Kerry.

[Ivan Ž.]

Hello, dear Kerry, and thanks very much. That's most certainly like it, but is it the G917T or G997T?

There are some photos of the same truck here: viewtopic.php?t=36323

Cheers,

Dear Ivan,
As I understand, it the only difference between the G917T and the G887T is in the engine fitted. It is impossible to tell, externally, the difference between the two types. It could be either I am afraid.
Best regards,
Kerry.

[Ivan Ž.]

Ah, thanks for the explanation, Kerry (I didn't know what the differences were).

A big cheers,
Ivan
