Hey guys.
Glad you like it. The G506 trucks came in various configurations. Here is a link to the "historical chevy photos" on the Vehicles of Victory web site
http://vehiclesofvictory.com/chevy-g506/chevy-pictures/historic-chevy-photos/When you see some of these you'll probably say "I've seen these trucks around". They were used so much in the civilian world after WW2. I particularly like the line of K51 Radio Trucks on the dock.
But yeah, they beefed them up pretty well given their load ratings. On my data plate the GVW is noted as only 9975 lbs. The 1961 1 ton panel I had for many years was rated at 10000 lbs.
pfarber. Hey, no problem guy, I shot a few more pics of the interior last night and uploaded them to my photobucket acct. Check em out. It has an old Southwind gasoline heater in it (not stock and not operable), as well as the fan from an old Harrison heater (there were remnants of ducting where someone rigged a way to get the heat from the Southwind to the Harrison fan). And any rubber weatherstrip or similar item have turned to stone or are simply gone. I'll replace those items as I repaint.
Check out any album you can get to in my photobucket acct. The "Murphys Fire Truck" is an old G506 Airfield Crash Truck. Also, on this site in the Gallery, check out Greg Lampmanns 42 1 1/2 ton panel. It is nice. I saw it in person last year at the Tower MV show. Ater you see his, you won't even want to look at mine anymore.
Take care, Tony
