Signal Corps vehicle types

Certainly beyond my abilities! Your mileage may vary!

Years ago there was a house moving company located near Hastings Nebraska. Drove by the place several times a year to visit family. The company was neat as a pin! Everything nicely painted and very neat rows of the beams and blocking that they used to raise and transport buildings. They also...

Hard to say without more pics. From experience, welded on scabs are much easier to deal with then missing parts, shortened frame, etc.

Thats an approach I've never seen before. The dual axle is mounted below what used to be the front of the frame. You can still see the radiator mount crossmember and the lower radiator baffle too. They moved the front axle, engine, transmission and sheetmetal to what was once the rear of the...

NDT is right, you know. 👆 That truck raises LOTS of questions. It look like the front axle has been flipped. The differential pumpkin should be on the passenger side, not drivers. The axle may not be driven any more... The steering connecting bar is also in front of the axle, but should be...

Thats what they all came with originally.

If a 1942 military truck needed an engine swap, it was likely done post-war, and could be any 216, 235 or 261 available, and could be from any year through probably the early 1960's. The best thing to do if the serial number does not start with "BV" is find the block casting number that is...

G506 answer: G506 trucks have an engine serial number STAMPED on a flat boss located just behind the distributor. The serial number started with "BV" on all trucks except a very few of the earliest 'Y' models, which started with "AV".

Converting a non-winch to a winch G506 is quite an undertaking. The front spring perch on a winch truck is actually attached to the winch extensions, not the frame like a non-winch truck would be. Seven solid rivets are used to attach each side of the winch extension. The two larger holes...

Owning a CCKW, G506 and most any other duece is sort of like owning a horse. Lots of people might like to own one, but many do not have the room or money required to feed and care for one. I think the popularity of jeeps is helped in large part by the fact they are relatively small, fit in a...

While the CCKW and G506 look similar( fenders, axles & hubs, etc.) there are a lot of differences. Most G506 trucks were closed cab, while most CCKWs were open cab. They also had different engines, transmissions and driveline. I have only very limited knowledge regarding CCKWs. G506 answers...

Contact Tom Wolbodt, the GPW Guy. You can google him. He is on Facebook, forums.G503.com etc. He will hook you up.

You might find some good info, and others with a similar interest on this FB page that my friend runs: The Chevy K-43 and K-44

Glad you found a source for your jeep stencils. Scott is a great guy, with some really nice equipment.
