Ramat-Hakovesh's (a commune) fleet in the early 50s with a nice mixture of Israeli and US cabs (as well as a Dodge, pre- and post-war Fords, a screamer and (I think) an ex-Wehrmacht Opel Blitz. Pic from the commune's archives

Some more from Israel and very rare there: one with a sleeper, unheard of back then and real luxury for the drivers.Pic (courtesy of I. Nachman) was taken at the Haifa port. The truck in the pic was owned by Kibbutz Afikim ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afikim) in the Jordan Valley who had a large wood products factory.
... and the same back at home with a smaller "super Power", a Fargo or a Dodge, a Canadian Military Pattern Ford or Chev, an Austin 12hp car and a couple of Mack NRs. No idea about the tractor... Pic from the Harvard U Israel collection.

 I understand engine placement necessitated the w i d e wheel spread, but what a bear that had to be to steer. Iron men and wood-framed cabs.......................

Some great sharp photos Tutlebrain, in the last picture of the White bus climbing the hill, the truck on the far right looks like a British Bedford A series built from 1953-1957.
