That would be pretty rare
The hood number belongs to a 1942 NJ model Chev 4x4 - pity no photograph showing whole truck.

Re: 43 Chevrolet 6x6
I have noticed a few times when someone states that a ww2 Chevy 1.5 ton truck is a "6x6" because I think they count the tires and not the three axles.
If anyone was truely interested in the truck, they might write the owner and request a full body shot of the truck to determine if its a chevy or a GMC.

Re: 43 Chevrolet 6x6
It goes to show you how little some know about what they are selling, many times their description of the item is figment.

Re: 43 Chevrolet 6x6
Robbo, you commented above how the "hood number belongs to a 1942 NJ model Chev 4x4"...do you have some sort of list of these hood number coorelations? Andy

Re: 43 Chevrolet 6x6
This seller has been listing this truck for months. When he (or she) started, the price IIRC, was over $9,000 because of its "rarity". Of course no idea from the photos whether it includes the typically missing bits like cargo bed, spare tire carrier, etc. I didn't bother contacting them before, because they obviously didn't have a clue what they were selling or what it might be worth. They also don't seem to know much about salesmanship or effective advertising through good photography.

Re: 43 Chevrolet 6x6
Tough act to follow.
This is what stirs up visions of sugarplums and leads buyers on long disappointing "wild goose chases" , all that was lerft to trap a customer was to post a good pic of a USA number and a shot of the drivers door.
Probably does have potential, but the ad is slippery.

It sort of "bugs-the-sh-t' outta me when people can't spell or use spell check. They still make Chevroletes don't they?

Re: 43 Chevrolet 6x6
You can get it from the MVPA for about $11 - it's a list of hood/contract numbers by year - they call it:do you have some sort of list of these hood number coorelations
