Info behind 1941 Chev

[hwcurtice]

This is listed locally. Claims to be a 1941 Chev 1.5 ton truck and former military. Is it still considered a CCKW?

Obviously needs tires and glass. But worth saving? Do these have data plates?

 

[Wolfen]

It would not be a CCKW and it should have Data Plates. Try this Website for Parts and Information. http://vehiclesofvictory.com/

So, according to the website, these are Chev G506?

Question remains: Worth saving? Or enough of them to part out and scrap the rest?

What info can you figure out?

 

[joeM62]

Surprising these can be found and can get parts for. You can look at ATHS.com you'll see some there pop up from time to time. can check the guys in the Military Vehicle Magazine.

 

[srodocker]

[hwcurtice]

CL in Snohomish.

I'm probably not going to be able to save this one. Maybe someone else can?

Can you tell what the serial number says??

I was able to make out 21YP0149????

21 - built in Janesville, WI
YP - Short wheel base cargo
01 - Jan 41 build

49??? number off the assembly line, minus 1001. They started numbering with 1001 each new model year (Aug - July)

Might be 4984X? Can't seem to get the last digit.

Its no longer listed so I don't know if he's scrapped it or sold it. I hope it got sold to someone that can show it some love.
