From bottom to top:
The large truck is a circa 1932 International A-5 3-ton truck with a 279-cu.in. International 6-cylinder engine.
By the end of 1932 the rating of the Six Speed Special had increased to 1 1/2-ton, the wheelbase grew to 136 inches, and the name was changed to B-2.

On its inclined bed is a circa 1932 International 1-ton Six Speed Special truck (last production year - 1932) with a 173-cu.in. Waukesha 4-cylinder engine. It had a gearshift operated Eaton two-speed axle with a conventional 3-speed transmission, giving it 6 forward gears and 2 in reverse. It had a 124-inch wheelbase.
On the back of the Six Speed Special is a 2 1/2-ton 1932 McCormick-Deering Farmall* F-20 (first production year) with a 22-hp 75-cu.in. kerosene/distillate 4-cylinder engine.
The photo shows International demonstrating that the Six Speed Special can haul heavy loads up steep hills, and oh look - we have a new tractor too.

Six speed, not six wheels. The big wheel is the rear wheel of the Farmall tractor on the back of the truck. Took a bit of study to figure out what we are seeing here. Looks like single front wheel of tractor hanging off the back. Steering wheel of tractor is right up against the back of the truck cab.
