The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 1952 3800 with G506 bed

My father bought this truck in 1957 to carry his new Boy Scout troop members camping.. He used it till 1977, then parked it in a barn. 2 of his former scouts did a bunch of work to it, but then it was parked again for the last 5 yrs. He mentioned to me he may sell it to clean out his garage, but I considered it a family heirloom, so it's in my garage now. It has the 216 in it. I believe the bed is a M211 troop carrier from WWII.

that bed looks like it came from a WWII chevy G506 1 1/2 4X4 it seems to small to have come from a GMC deuce and a half. and the M211/M135 was korean era, at one time my grampa had about five of them. oh and welcome to the bolt.

Thanks for the welcome and info garandboy.. I was told the bed was from WWII, so from a G506 may be it.

that is neat old truck. i'd a kept it too.
