Freight trucks

I'm hoping somebody here can point me to a website that has historical information dealing with freight trucks.. Not the kind that the train cars run on but over the road type trucks.. I'm not interested in any model manufacturers websites, I'm only looking for photos of the types of vehicles that were used in the mid - late 1940s.
Thanks in advance for any help provided..

Here is a link to Ian Wilson's article on CN delivery trucks in the 1940s and 1950s. Very informative, with lots of links to pictures of various trucks and cargo.

For the record, Ian Wilson is the author of the series of CN steam books focussing on southern Ontario in the 1950s.

Even small railroads had their own freight trucks. The 33 mile long East Broad Top in central Pennsylvania had several over the years, plus a bus line.
