Where are they?

Post by John D »

I live in Southern Ontario and there don't seem to be any g506 type trucks around up here. I guess the Canadian Army never used them, so they are rare. Our winters(and salt) are not the kindest on old vehicles either. Does anyone know of any up here, possibly for sale?

John,

Vehicles of Victory, http://www.vehiclesofvictory.com near Albany NY, is a good source for info on Chevy trucks For Sale. When good ones are posted at a reasonable price they don't last long.

I live in the greatest part of the counrty,we don't get much moisture,and our temps are pretty mild so they don't have to salt the roads,so we have alot of old stuff laying around,military and civilian,I'm working on a trade right now for a G 506,it's been in a junk yard for many years and the sheet metal is perfect,it still has the bed,with a tailgate,even the doors are rust free,I'm very tempted to take the body off and replace it with the open cab CCKW body that is also rust free. Once I get every thing home and get a good look at them I'll figure out just what I'm going to do,till then I dream.

Hi John
I live in Ontario and have a G506. Where exactly are you? I live in Castleton which is between Brighton and Cobourg and north of the 401.
My truck came from Holland.

Barry-You're the first one in Ontario I've heard of that had one. I live in Zephyr which is about 30 minutes NE of Newmarket. Drop me an email(fssf@yahoo.com).
