Maybe bubba was ambitious that day. No one told him most people just reverse the way you drive it, that way the engine is behind you. If a person brought it home-do you think there would be any reason to save the frame? Ill get a few more pics and see if you guys know what the engine is.
Id say pretty close. The mfg date on the trailer is 56. But they probably spent their time together. So you think if its running and welding it'd be worth $500? Anything else that is common failure? Is the engine pretty durable? Is it the same as a m37 engine or just similiar?
The fella is retired air force and has a collection of junk that his dad aquired. He had it running a couple of years ago...you know how that story goes. It had the air horn off the carb. Didnt check if it was free. The radiator had some rust in it. Is it worth going through the motions with it...
Hey guys i was curious if anyone had experience with this model of welder and generator. Looks like its from the 50s. I have an opportunity to buy it and was curious if anyone knew any flaws with it, or things that typically need addressed it has a straight six flathead in it
My bet would be at one time it was setup to be driven as a buck rake. Real common(in MT anyways) back in the day to take a 2 ton truck chassis-turn it around and attach a loader and use it to pick square bales. Let me see if i can attach a few more pics. Id be interested in it just for the tire...
Found another sad little creature. Not much left of this fella. Not sure on the engine, but the transmission is a hydramatic. Are the rims for these trucks different then say a G749? USMC08 Thought so. He was asking about an earth boring truck, sounds like they are rare, does anyone have an idea...
Good to know. You dont by chance know how a civilian engine came marked? I was also reading that pre '52 235s were babbitted bearings...is that right? Thatd be stepping back into time.
Thats a neat pic there. Looks like they are out working with it. Another question-probably been answered a million times before but g506s came with a 235, and a cckw with a 270. How would a person differentiate a military version vs a civilian version. I know once you got to g749 series of truck...
WW2 Chevy-We must be glutton for punishment...we have multiple deuces(3 G749, 1 m35) and multiple horses:oops:. Thanks for posting that sheet on what the model number decode as. Yesterday I was scoping out a G506 that has a NJ in the serial number. Looking at your sheet it looks like it must be...
Thanks for the info. I have a few post wwii deuces and find the standardization of them is a such a blessing. As I've looking towards the G506+g508 series trucks, my perception is it was much more whatever they felt like building that day-or so it seems. Is these series of trucks attracting...
I know very little about the CCKW and G506 and I am trying to figure out where the data plates for each would be located? Also do they have any serial number stampings on the frame or anywhere else to help identify the truck? Do the data plates typically divulge whether they were a Winch truck...
