This is the chassis of a large truck that was used in the Gulf of Carpinteria, Australia, on a mine site, sometime before WW1. I've been searching for a while to figure out what make it is, but haven't come up with anything solid yet.
The chassis was found many years ago in a very remote and difficult area to gain access to. There was a short piece, with a photo on it in the early 80's in British Classic & Sports Car magazine asking for an identification. It was also in an Australian vintage machinery magazine, asking for an identification. It has since been moved to a small town and put on display, where this photo was taken.
I know someone somewhere has figured out what it is. I've been told it's a German make, by someone. That's all I know. It was a 6 cylinder, it's just that one cylinder is now missing.
If you can tell me what it is, and even provide a photo of what it looked like originally, I'll give you 2 points.
