Here's another DRD-70 pictured in Los Angeles in 1941. This one has the front lopped off to shorten the overall length I guess.

Thanks gentlemen.  I was curious if it was in house or a vendor supplied engine.

Jim in 1940 the Ih DRD 70 power was  Cummins HB-600150 HP 5 speed trans  either a 2 speed or double reduction rear.this is from Frederick Crimson's IH book.

Cummins 6cyl and a 5+3. At 125hp I guess it's an HA-600.

What was the spec for the engine and transmission in the DRD-70?

DRD-70. They didn't make many of these but this company had 3 of them.

John, that is a very unusual cab on the IH in the rear, I don't recognize it.
