AutoCar COE 5 ton

Trucks used by the U.S. Army in world War II that were 2.5 tons and larger. Such as Studebaker US-6, International M5-6, 4 Ton tractors (Auto Car, etc.), 5 Ton (Corbitt, etc.), the Dragon Wagon, and any other trucks 2.5 tons and over.

Thanks, I think this is the smaller one. It's here in Texas not far from where I live. I have always liked the COE's for some reason. Trying to work up the courage as all of my experience has been Dodge 3/4 tons. Just a bit of difference. Jeff
