Might it be a Diamond T?

I am thinking International???

Thinking Diamond T also??

Viewed from another angle. Truck owned by Byrne & Huston, General Carriers of 101 Albert Street, Brisbane.

Think this is a Studebaker,
This one is my Grandfather's

LN700

Although your Studebaker is obviously an earlier model it could be a choice. I still like International because of the single line name badge..

No - Just had a good look and Internationals had vertical slots in the side panels.

All the 35/36 Diamond T photos (they went much rounder after that) have distinctive removable bonnet side panels.

Here is something similar, still does not look right to me - Studebaker. Bonnet too square and side slots with only one short opening?

I reckon LN700 is on the money with Studebaker, this one below was monikered as a 1934-35 model:-

I think you are there. Most of the photos are of American trucks. The Australian built bodies - Holdens, Richards etc - whoever made the Studebakers, may well have changed small features to fit their production methods.

********!!! Definitely a Studebaker. Just had a 15 year old wizard bring up the name on some sort of app or program that clears photos.
