Another Chevy
Just another Northern California Farm with a resident 40's Ex-Military Chevy or is this something else?

Re: Another Chevy
It looks like a Chevy, but it also looks like it has the GMC plate on the grill. It could be a CCKW with one axel removed. I have seen CCKW Farm Trucks done that way before, sometimes with shool bus rear-ends put under them.
Any one else want to play name the truck?

Re: Another Chevy
Thank you both for your replies. You've both confirmed what I thought about this "Chevy" and that makes me feel much better.
Something is not quite 1.5 ton Chevy all the way. Could be quite a few different options I guess, but I think the cab is CCKW.

Re: Another Chevy
It's a CCKW, and I am not playing."name the truck".
There is one feature that stands out regardless of grill or louvres and says "I'm a CCKW". See if anyone else can spot the CCKW feature.
It is not the cab.

Re: Another Chevy
If I'm seeing it correctly, it has the bracket on the bottom of the rear axle for a torsion bar that was used on dual rear axle trucks such as the CCKW. Hard to make out as the pic is of low quality due to the distance.

Re: Another Chevy
Hint #2, the difference is in the chassis, a dead giveaway. Hard to miss its right in front of your eyes.

Re: Another Chevy
And the bumper (Par Shock) in French, I served with Franco Americans in the service, is a dead give away for the G-506 w/o wn. bumper.

I bet not many people know that! Something else to add to your already impressive list of accomplishments.RANGER wrote:And the bumper (Par Shock) in French, I served with Franco Americans in the service.
So, do you think as this is principally a Hay-Waggon, they just removed the rear axle and left the frame and longer bed? That does look like a long bed doesn't it.

Re: Another Chevy
6 Decades + of non-stop MV association , Honor Graduate Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, Instructor on same, professional consultant on same, the list goes on forever, no newcomer here. For those who thrive on kicking RANGER around-it's their loss. RANGER enrages those on the darkside and befriends those on the sunnyside of the MV hobby. It ain't easy being at the top.

Re: Another Chevy
Well, I may of stood in the shade just a time or two, but I never thought of it as being on the darkside.
But you can definitely count me as being one on the sunnyside now!!!
You got any more CCKW quizzes?
