An early  Chevy "Vehicle of Victory" in active duty during WWII

The Chevy and GMC were designed to take dual wheels on the front as well as the back.  Typically they were used only in very wet/soft conditions to allow the truck to "float" a bit more on the mud or snow.

Ed Smith of Ventura County, CA shared this post card of Chevy's carrying bridging supplies.  It was taken early in the 40's and may be from training and manuevers in Louisiana

Great WWII original Chevy photo submitted by Sgt. Richard Ford (SGTFORD372@aol.com) of Collinsville, IL.  Note - this truck clearly shows the round serpentine style brush guard used on the early Chevys.

Chevy Field Lighting Truck.  This configuration shows up in many Chevy technical manuals and WWII vehicle publications.  It is unknown how many were ever produced and we have never seen any actual photographs of these in use during the war. If anyone has anymore information, let us know.

This group of  K43 Communication trucks was provided by Tom van Gangelen of the Netherlands. Contact Tom at vangangelen@wxs.nl (see sales section for Tom's K43 for sale)
