Thanks Phil! I'll add - I'm not sure if this is kosher or not, but the vans for sale are located on ebay. Youll have to search for 1941-1943 G506. They are in California... Feel free to remove this post if it is against policy. Aaron

All - I've just dropped some more photos for your enjoyment - see my albums. now there are 7 panel vans (5 which remain unidentified) for which you can feast your eyes upon. Not to mention mine, which would make 8. Teaser - there is one of these rigs currently for sale in the UK. Also...

Colonel Klink? :)

I had to move my van outside for the winter. I guess it will spend its next year like it spent its last 75... outdoors :(. The move was done hastily since I inherited some vehicles that I needed to make space for indoors. I have not completed my windshield restoration, so I cut out some...

papabear - Very Cool Truck! The trailer is super cool, too! The first pic you posted makes it look like a full-sized radio tower was built on the top! Curious about this rig - what radio equipment did it carry? Did it get replaced by another vehicle, like the CCKW radio trucks? I think the...

WW2Chevy - Thanks for the clarification. I know that the Portrayal Press has put out a helpful booklet that explains some of this, but I appreciate the finer details! Please post any pics you may have of the early-model Cargo trucks. I've attached a page from my TM10-1461 manual - a G7105...

Wolfen - I recently received a photo of two panels side-by-side, apparently taken in Portland. Not sure how old the photo is, or where exactly it was taken, but I intend to find out! Just saying! Thanks for following - I think we can keep things interesting for a while!

WW2Chevy - Thanks for the heads-up! I have accounts on G503 and CCKW, but I haven't posted anything there. I'll be sure to peruse their threads on the subject! You are correct. My van is a 1941 model. It is the 'early series' with the external battery access. I have the old grill, old...

MV Nuts: Keep in mind, I've been adding more albums for you all to peruse. I have kept a few private, but will slowly be 'releasing' them so-to-speak. Thanks for looking! Aaron from Kansas

Quote from Fred W. Crismon on U.S. Military Wheeled Vehicles on the subject: "One of the stranger looking trucks of the WWII Period was [the] 1-1/2-ton Chevrolet 4x4 Signal Corps K-51 panel van. Used almost exclusively by the Signal Corps for transport and maintenance of radio equipment, it...

Porkysplace - thanks for offering guidance on the albums! NDT - great to hear from our larger, 6x6 brethren! As someone mentioned, mine is not a radio truck, and I’m not planning on adding the equipment. That being said, I am looking for a trailer to pull behind. The Ben hur trailer normally...

I'm trying to build a community of owners, a 'band of brothers' if you will, for the WWII Chevrolet 1.5 Ton Panel Van. These vans are part of the G-506 family with the specific model number G-7105 (also G-4105 in the early years). Many may also recognize the variant adapted for the signal...
