Here's a restored one that's referred to as a "Corbitt D-808 T 29." Then here's a website that lists pictures of similar Corbitt trucks and their model names. I think that D-808 is the series number, T stands for tractor or tandem, and that 29 might be referring to the engine specs. http://corbitttrucks.com/trucks-1950-1960/ For sure a Corbitt D-808 at minimum, and I don't think there's enough evidence to identify this as "Corbitt D-808 T 29". -- Last edit: 2023-10-04 15:13:28
