OK mislead you all there, not in Bonniface & Jeudy, I just checked.

So it must be the other French one "Un Camion de Legend" ? I'll check it out as soon as I can borrow it back from the guy I lent it too !

I have seen a photo in the past of a jimmy in British service in the Western Desert fitted with super singles and have often wondered which wheels were used.

Karoshi,

There is a picture in Les Vehicles Allies De La Liberation of a Bolster Truck hauling pontoons. It has the super singles but not the same wheels as pictured on Mr. Workmans Cargo.

It is a post war picture of a restored truck.
