Whose truck?

Post by Barry Churcher »

In Bill's photos of Weare there is a photo in the WW2 section of a Chevy. It is the 3rd photo and the hood number is 2117113. Who owns this truck? I notice the nice fuel tank installation and would like a closer photo. My Chev has a plated frame so it will be difficult to install the stock tank hangers. I thought about using a GMC tank on the outside of the frame like one I saw at Beltring. This looks like a nicer possibility.

That belongs to Bob Barber. It has the normally mounted gas tank mounted outside as someone converted it to a dump w/o the correct hoist assy. The mil hoist assy is very short compared to the civy ones of the day.
