Several years ago we bought a farm in Montana, as typical with a lot of older farms there was dead machinery scattered in many locations of the place. As we cleaned things up we came upon an ex military '40 Chevy 4x4. The engine is a 235 w/4spd trans. Checking the serial numbers on the vehicle it appears that the truck was originally a stake bed of tow truck, G506. Reputedly this style of truck was built in many body types. Several thousand were shipped to Russia. Other than the missing bed, the truck is complete and in very good shape..
