Dump Truck

Trucks used by the U.S. Army in world War II that were 2.5 tons and larger. Such as Studebaker US-6, International M5-6, 4 Ton tractors (Auto Car, etc.), 5 Ton (Corbitt, etc.), the Dragon Wagon, and any other trucks 2.5 tons and over.

Dump Truck

Post by tetonale »

A few years back I came across an old army dump truck. It was completely overgrown with wild rose bushes to the point you would not even know there was a truck in there. As this was before I became involved with my CCKW I wasn't very familiar with the look of WWII vintage trucks. However, I suspect it will turn out to be post war. Regardless, I will be returning to the property in a few weeks and will be bringing some pruning shears with me this time. I was wondering if post war vehicles were stamped in the same location on the frame as the WWII CCKW's. I don't want to cut down the entire briar patch. Just enough to get in at the frame and record some numbers if the vehicle turns out to be something interesting.
