Here is a photo of an old truck that features in my family history. Can anyone identify it please. It was owned by Smyth bros & Boyrer at Artimuri, I had thought it was a 1929 SF International that dad drove. but looks a bit big for that time.

No don't know about the truck. We used to own the property a number of years back at Atiamuri that was the old mill from yester year. Heaps of old cars and trucks around we got rid of, plus many more that were buried before our time there.

Was the mill at place called Ongaroto? . ( part of what was called Atiamuri). My father carted timber from that mill to Rotorua before the war. My grandparents ran the cookhouse there in the early '30'sOriginally Posted by duckonin

Never mind the truck, what about the giant phallus it's hauling!?!

International was one of the few big American trucks in NZ in the '30's, so more than likely an International....the cab would be NZ made. American trucks normally had spider hubs, but don't know if they had them this early. I could steal the photo and put it on HCVC, an Australian vintage truck forum if you want.

I'm betting it's a mid to late '20's REO Speedwagon (quite a few of them were used as logging trucks in NZ)

Reo rings a bell regarding my OP.
Here is the 1929 SF International with my father in front. Wonder what size engine it would've had? Probably about 65hp? Would they have been running auxillary gearboxes back that far?
