There were not many, and were all equipped with Dump Body. The US NAVY SEABEES released a large quantity of these in unused condition in the early 60s. Many were sold at the Quonset Point Naval Base. The trucks were stripped for theie JXD Hercules engines and 1 1/2 Cu Yard Capacity Dump Body which were sold serarately or reinstalled on Chevrolet 4X4 Trucks by Surplus Dealers. They were a popular item among New England Chicken Farmers. Few Survive. The Delco Instruments in my CCKW are NOS take outs from some of the Federal 2 GT 1 1/2 Ton 4X2 Dump Trucks. They were not all that useful because of low gearing and single speed rear axle. Few, if any survive, most were stripped for useful parts.
