Found by Google wikipedia: Nash Trucks
The first Nash trucks were the continuation of the Jeffery Quad, an all-wheel drive, all-wheel steered vehicle for military and civilian use. The Nash Quads were produced until 1928. Thereafter, Nash focused on building high-quality cars. The automaker developed a line of commercial vehicles in 1947 for export markets and offered them to its domestic dealerships.
Two models were available:
Nash 3148 a 133-inch-wheelbase weighing around 4,810 lb (2,182 kg)
Nash 3248 a 157-inch-wheelbase weighing around 4,887 lb (2,217 kg)
Nash's trucks looked more luxurious than other trucks available then, reminiscent of the contemporary Nash 600 passenger car from which much of the bodywork came. The fenders were the same as for the passenger car, albeit with larger openings made by a second panel stamping.[3]
The truck's engine came from the Nash Ambassador although in a lower state of tune, producing 104 hp (78 kW). A four-speed manual transmission was standard with an optional Timken double-reduction hypoid vacuum-shift rear axle.[1] The Studebaker Champion's smaller engine was offered on some models.
Approximately 5,000 Nash Haul Thrift trucks were produced and sold.[2][4
