I suppose it could have tranported prisoners, among others.

Not from Mexico.

It is the Knuckey Truck Company of San Francisco, constructors of the M26 tank transporter, which was built by Pacific Car & Foundry. Some websites misspell it as Knuckney.

Hemmings had an article a while back, that included the extra "N" in the spelling. I believe "Knuckey" is correct.

Interesting. I can find something on their military trucks, but nothing of the civil production, which would interest me more.

All I could find, is that they were in business at least from 1943 to 1956 and specialized in mining and quarry truck design. In 1930 there was a "Federal Knuckey Truck Co, Federal Truck Co, Sterling Truck Co Agency parts & service" listed at 180 12th Street in San Francisco. The buildings still remain.

I believe they must have been in existance BEFORE 1943, as they made a Mining truck on which the M26 was based. Thanks nonetheless! By the way I have 1956 as an end date as well, apparently being taken over by Kenworth.

Found a newspaper article which refers to MAY 1941. Linking is not approved, but I can provide a link when needed.
