Default Crane truck ID

This truck is in a junkyard nearby, I am sure it is WWII vintage, can anyone ID from these pics? You could probably buy it, though he is usually kind of high on his stuff, be neat to add to the stable!

Looks to be a "Quickway" type crane of WWII vintage. Judging by the ca, it looks to be original, but closer pics would help.


Could you get a better shot of the crawler next to it. Looks like a BE. I would be interested in seeing a pic of the power unit in it.

The crawler could be a 300 series American

Could be a Brockway B-666 of WWII vintage, but I don't think so. Looks more like a WWII International 2 1/2 ton with an Insley later model crane mounted to it. Can you get a better pic?

I'll try to get some better pics, I was in a hurry.Been to this yard several times, tons of old cars but it looks like he has been scraping heavy lately, just the cars though and not the big stuff.
