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.

Freightrain Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I've got pictures of a yellow version of that red 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 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.
