LeRoi compressor trucks

[Ledog]

Hi all.

Questions about the LeRoi compressor GMC:

What does the serial number of compressor trucks look like? Is there a specific letter for compressor as there is G for water tank, H for dump body, etc...

Is the compressor's chassis different from the standard cargo chassis?

What did the hood number look like? Was it beginning with 4 like other jimmies or with another number because of it's engineer specifications?

LeRoi compressor GMC were always without winch. True or false?

Thanks for your help.

The Kompressor frame was reinforced.

The hood number started with a 0 (zero) as I recall because it was an Engineering truck

Winch, no winch. Mine has one. I thought I read somewhere that the second group of trucks later in the war all had winches and that all the 1st ones did not.

I believe that there is no letter for the truck. It is a -1 or -2 on the sn

I have seen Compressor Trucks both ways...winch an no winch.

Below is a truck I was thinking of buying back 4 years ago. It was used at a VA hospital. Came from Storage to the hospital.
