Picture by Pat DeMoss
It seems we've finally nailed this one down as Gill confirms its an M426 International Harvester and has forwarded this shot by Pat DeMoss to me. I trust Pat won't mind us using his photo to prove the point. "Brian," says Gil, my additional searches revealed that this tractor was manufactured no later than 1945. I served in 1950-1951-1952. Gil." And Biglorryblog's thanks to all who answered the call tom identify Gil's mystery truck -- if you said IH you were right!

www.imcdb.org (a fascinating site!)and one of these trucks , an IHC H-542-11, appears in a film about Roswell (better not to go there!). This site also has a note regarding production of identical trucks by Marmon-Herrington and Kenworth.
