VERY CLASSY She is a Corbitt model 50SD6 / White Model 666 6Ton powered by a HXD Herc 855ci Gas engine and 6 wheel drive These trucks were built by both Companies and were the same truck For you military guru's they were G-512 and G514 In this picture you can see what appears to be an M26 "Wiffle Tree" welded onto the top behind the cab Must have been for hanging a block for some special purpose These old Line horse's / Rig up goats were always heavily modified by the "Rig Up Crews" that worked them The blacksmith shops would make all kinds of special job related equipment for these guys Born2clearcut this is one of the few remaining sets of pictures showing the raising of a tree WELL DONE
Just paste this into your browser, lots of info on these trucks, http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_corbitt_white_ww2_6ton.php
