The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs 1941 military ambulance

i came across a 1941 panel truck maybe an ambulance. Its a dually and must be a 1 or 1.5 ton truck has the large wheels and a window on the sides in the back.Dose not run and some rust. Do they have any value. Im guessing that the parts for these are rare. Anyone have 1 ?

Do you have a picture you can post?

Wow, that is a cool truck. There are a few of them out there, but not many. "Rare" is a relative term here. Are they "rare" among these old GM trucks? Yes, pretty much. The guys who know the WW2 vehicles can give you a better idea of how rare it is. Do they have "value?" Not like a matching numbers Duntov award-winning '53 Corvette, a gull-winged Mercedes or even a real Shelby Cobra ... but probably more than a 1/2-ton pickup of similar vintage and condition. Is it a military vehicle or a civilian one? 4WD or 2WD?

Are you looking to flip it or just buy it to fix up and own for the long term?

You ask some pretty wide open questions that we really can't answer until you give us more to go on ... and, like Phak says ....PICTURES!

i will have to get some pics later in the week. But it reminds me of something you would on MASH the tv show. I have a complete drive train out of a 41 coe if I need parts. I beleave its 2 wheel drive but will have to look to be sure.It look like it would need a full restoration but I would probably make it a driver

is there a way to tell if its military or civilian ?

If it's been repainted, scrape a few layers off and look for OD paint?

I talked to the guy today he says its very rusty and probably only good for parts. He said it ran 5 years ago he backed it in where it is now I will still try to post pics in a day or so.

There is no such thing as "only good for parts" with these trucks. Mine was sitting God knows where, and still has a great frame.

And, like others have said: PICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCS!

OP -- Ok, I see you already saw that the link didn't work ...


If you'd like to try again, here are a couple of options:


Option One (Less elegant) -- At the bottom of the edit box (the box you type a response in) you will see three buttons. click on the one to the far right that says "Use Full Editor"

Once that window opens, under the word "Post" you will see another box to type a response in. Across the top of it, you'll see a number of little icons. The 14th one from the right looks like the planet Earth with a chain link.

click on it.

In the first box, type (or paste) the actual address to the photo (what you tried to do above but couldn't because we don't really like that web site, but you should be able to type the address to it in this box)

the second box will be for you to type what ever title you want to give the image.

Then, it will kick you back to the "Post" box to finish writing your post.


When finished, you just go all the way to the bottom and click "Post Reply"



Option Two (more elegant and preferred) -- Easier, though, would just be to click on the link (below the edit box) that says "Attachment Manager" which will allow you to post an image directly to your post without making us all go to that overly political, free-speech hating social media site

We have directions on image attaching in the column on your left.

Thanks,
John

my daughters is trying it. So it will probably work.

pennington NJ title is 1941 GMC panel TRK Hope this helps cant seem to make the link work i dont no why even when i type in where its at it changes when i post it

its on Face book

A lot of us have started with way worse.

I have been there myself and not sure i want to do again maybe 1 of you can bring it back to life.

I would totally take that truck and bring it back to life. It may even be in better shape than my '57 was when it came home!!

Concur with the Pan3lman -- I would also take that truck on given half a chance. Looks way better than the '39 that got me started in all this mess ...

Found it on face plant. 1,200 bucks!
One of you east coast folks need to go get it.
Over 1000 miles one way for me. So it will not happen.

Well, not with that attitude Don

I told my wife about this truck. She said I could get it if I sell my '57 :|

It’s easier to get forgiven than to get permission!
That’s what I do. Don’t dare me Chuck!

Don

The things that are really keeping me dedicated to my '57 are:

1. a prior owner already replaced the master cylinder, brake lines, and wheel cylinders
2. it's already set up for a 12 volt system
3. a prior owner had already set up the motor mounts and all for a V8

I saw that the '41 is a dually, but I'm guessing that it will require mods to get it up to where my '57 is already. I don't know if I need all of that additional custom work in my life

I aways try to put a spin on new vehicles Like saying that would be a good 1 for you honey, My wife likes camping so i might say that would make a really cool camper honey.
