Re: Treasure in the Namibian desert

Re: Treasure in the Namibian desert
That flathead engine looks to have WWII flathead service engine parts. I'd say those trucks were left over from WWII. From the North African campaign, possibly. Could be wrong.

Re: Treasure in the Namibian desert
Too bad it doesn’t have the grill piece your looking for.
I can see that CL ad too, “Just send a certified cashiers check to the bank of Namibia” |

Re: Treasure in the Namibian desert
The Ford engine has C69A casting marks (Canadian post war). 1941 hood on the Ford. If it isn't too rusty of damaged then it has potential. The old International looks like a model KB but it's missing stuff.
