I need help identifying the following wrecker. This is my Dad during WWII. He was in the 3rd Tank Battalion, 10th Armoured Division from 1942-1946. It doesn't look like a Ward LaFrance but more like a Diamond T 969 except for the tool box and the boom. Help.

Trying to add picture.

Hard to tell from the tiny pic. If you take the "thumbs/" part out of the link, it makes the pic larger?



Looks like it may be similar to the one in this earlier thread as well.

It may be the same type; a Ward La France Model 1000.

Thank you so much. Been working on this post for the last hour.

Unfortunately, there is no 1/35 model of a Ward LaFrance 1000. The closest to it is the later model Ward LaFrance M1A1.

AA Ward LaFrance M1A1

I guess I'll have to wait till a manufacturer comes out with a model I can use. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I wanted to build a small vignette with a figure of my father standing in front. I found a company that will 3D print an exact replica of my father in 3D.

Tried doing my Photoshop thang to your Dad's photo. Hope this helps.
