Three on a farm

Old rusties: Chevy, International and an unidentified one in front. It looks like surplus military, to me. You are invited to identify it!

Update: Thank you, Richard Nuttall for identifying the truck in front! Studebaker US-6, 1940s and indeed a WWII military truck. See his comment below for more information and links.

Looks very like a Studebaker US-6- most went as lend lease to the USSR in WW2 but some sttayed in the US in Alaska and in use by the USAAF in small numbers.

Yes, thanks so much! Ugh, I've read so much about the lend-lease program and the horrible uses to which our equipment was put. Such as shipping prisoners from Vladivostok to Magadan and up to their deaths in the Gulags.

Some great photos: tinyurl.com/zbw72uh

Diane Putnam club has replied to Richard Nuttall
I'm sure they are! : ) I wonder where this one came from. I assume from a military auction or something like that.
