Help With Paymaster Truck

[raildogg]

Can someone help me out here. Take a look at the rear view photo of the Paymaster truck, could you answer some questions about this truck.

What, is that tank above the rear window for? Where does that ducting, at the lower right of the engine go to, and from?

And, knowing that there were a few variations of this beast, what model and type, engine is general used?

Finally, if I model a variant what if truck, would I be too far out to power it with an Allison Twin Turbo Charged V-12?

I like big rigs but don't know a whole lot about them yet.

What photo?

Looking at the photo ,I would have to say that tank above the rear window is an air tank,I beleve they used cummins engine inline six. The ducting is the air cleaner pipe which go to the box below the rear window

With the three straps holding it to the cab. Hope this helps you out.

O.K. Yes, it does help. Aside from the tank above the rear window, my assumption about the ducting was correct. Are you sure of the Cummins 6cyl. Some drawings I have seem to indicate a V-8???
