Great picture. If that is the "express delivery" I wouldn't want to wait for their standard delivery.

I wonder if it's a Sterling? There were still a few much later Sterling chain drive trucks around when I was a kid in the early '50s. I remember talking to one Sterling driver who said that the Sterling was the best "pit truck" ever because the differential was bolted to the frame up high, so there was nothing to get hung up in loose dirt or mud. You could hear the chain noise a quarter of a mile away.

Looks like it could haul a long load if it had enough torque to get it moving.
