German Henschel-33 3-tonn 6x4 truck wich was introduced as early as in 1928, was too heavy and already quite obsolete by the start of WWII, but yet it became a real work-horse of the war.
Heavy conditions of military exploitation had often demanded improvements of the construction. Thus, the original 2-nuts front wheels prooved to be too weak, so it was replaced with the reinforced 6-nuts front wheels during the second half of the war.
Front wheels comparison:
