I know it's not a "Stovebolt",but a guy in rural Mt.vernon,(Iowa),has a, (what appears to be),a 5-ton?? Studebaker US-6?? Tank Recovery unit,from the Korean War era. It's powered by a 3-71! Not sure about the Studebaker Korean War-era-trucks,but I know the 2-1/2-ton WW-2 "Studies",were US-6's,and this one has the same sheet-metal-(pre-'48-1/2). Just proof that the WAR Dept. did use these engines in several applications,during that time frame. I used to operate a Michigan end-loader with a 3-71. It had plenty of power,used in that application.
