How about this one?
I think my shaky hand has blurred the badge enough to make it unreadable.

Give the man a cigar!
Of the three names, Mack is the largest, so I'm guessing the cab is theirs, and Brockway and Hayes used it with minor modifications. Another cigar to the Brockway Kid for getting the Hayes model name right.
I was looking at a video of a few 953-S' being repowered with modern Cummins engines last night.
Herringchoker: The badge looks like a Chevrolet to me too. Beyond that I know nothing of the model and year other than it's probably WW2 vintage.

It's a Peterbilt. I'm guessing 300 series since it has three axles.

Sorry guys, I've been away unexpectedly for a couple of days.
Brockwaykid and mjncad, your eyes are definitely better than mine. You are both right - that's a WWII vintage Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) Chev C-30. The CMP's were standardized trucks built by both GM and Ford in Canada to a British specification, each using their own mechanicals. Except for minor details, they looked identical. The Ford version of this one would be an F-30. They came in 4 different payload classes, 8 cwt (800 lbs.), 15 cwt (1500lbs.), 30 cwt (like the one in the picture),and 60 cwt (3 ton). There was also a gun tractor on the 3 ton chassis, labelled either CGT or FGT, depending on who built it. They were widely used by Canadian, British, Australian, New Zealand and other armed forces from 1939 to 1945, and later.
