I really appreciate the feedback. Been checking out you guy's rides as well. Nice working trucks, rodded truck "vrooom vrooom", and great to see.
A couple of other bits of info on the truck I thought I could share. I'm pretty sure mine was put out as a K-51 radio truck. From what I gather these were some of the most powerful "mobile" radios of that time. The radio and other necessities were in the truck itself. The sizable trailer that was part of the rig was essentially just the generator. The reason I think my rig was one of these are some minor distortions and brazed holes on the sides that seem consistent with the toolboxes and spools that I've seen in pictures of that setup. Also, it wasn't long after mine was built (June 42) the war dept. didn't allow any advertising on the trucks, so to speak, so the embossed "Chevrolet" on the sides of the hood "where I've painted it black, didn't appear on later versions.
Thanks guys.
Tony
