Did you notice that your flanges are bent the reverse direction of the original? Yuou've got a very sharp bend at each end, where the original is greater then a 90.

I just checked my truck, and found that I do have two sleeves as indicated. I only remembered one... Could you fabricate one with a short length of pipe and a 1/2" or 5/8" thick steel "donut"??

I found the spring center bolts that I purchased. They are available here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/362705713588

Its a lot of steel to heat up. My choice would be the oxy-acetylene with a rosebud tip, but the propane will work if you're patient. I've also heard of using a bottle jack instead of the pipe wrench. The challenge is to straighten the top flange without bending the bottom flange.

Nope, don't believe so... you can see the two shifter links in the center of the photo.

A little heat, a 3 ft long pipe wrench and a cheater pipe will straighten that cross-member right out!

The spring center bolts are not your run of the mill bolt. They are a fine thread, and the top head is round not hex. I bought a couple NOS and didn't need them. Let me figure out where I bought them. For the bed hold downs, please see attached...

Hi Jeff, I just rediscovered your G506 firetruck thread again today; and have been looking through your posts from the past couple of years. Your last set of pictures of the rear axle made the lightbulb above my head turn on... I just realized you're also on the G506 CHEVROLET WWII TRUCKS...

Trying to buy a 6-cylinder engine from a seller just south of Vancouver, BC. I would like to find someone local that can do the pickup, strap it to a pallet and drop off at the Fastenal location in Vancouver. Willing to pay for your time and fuel. Thanks!

Hi Jon, Jon Kelley here in he states made some a few years back, and more recently Graham Lycett from the UK also made a batch. Graham is on FB and Jon Kelley is on the G503 forums.

There is a subforum on forums.G503.com for larger military trucks including the CCKW. Joel Gopan has a NOS seat back for sale on the forum. Lots of good information too at tm9-801.com/forums/

There are also two FB group pages dedicated to the G506 trucks, and a wealth of information here: Forums/G503.com

There are a couple of G506 groups on Facebook. There are a couple guys located in PA I believe.

They made a COE G506, but the undercarriage was vastly different. Would be a HUGE undertaking, and likely end up costing much more then finding the correct cab. BTW, you could more easily find a civilian 40-46 Chevy farm truck and use the cab. There are some minor differences but are...

Did you ever find the information you needed for your 2U-512??

IF there is a number on the frame, it will generally be immediately above the front axle; and may be on either side. As I indicated, most G506 trucks will not have a number on the frame.

The Y model trucks (YP and YQ) were earliest. The YP and YQ simply indicated wheelbase. YP is standard, YQ is long. They had a number of characteristics they shared with civilan trucks, that were changed with the later trucks. these included park brakes on the rear axle, battery under the...

Symbol on the door indicates use by the Sixth Service Command...Nice truck!!
