Austin K6 Heavy Truck

The Austin K6 was designed as a 3ton 6x6 Truck initially ordered for the RAF. Normally they were powered by a 3,995 cc petrol engine with 6 cylinders capable of 82hp. As with a number of British trucks they had a number of different bodies including firefighting, recovery, mobile cranes and ballon winches. By 1944, the Austin K6 was utilised by the British Army. Some were even supplied to the Russians under Lend-Lease arrangements. By the end of WWII over 13,000 had been produced.
