Beautiful! I hope they are not running the stoves in the truck on gasoline? Propane, OK in the truck, gasoline; go modern, go gas, go boom. I can make a similar setup with my 3 stoves, but I always cook on the mount of the truck and use only Coleman fuel as the crap, I mean gasoline today isnot good for the gas generators.

Al gasoline burners.
They are used by us in this setup to prepaire meals for the troop.
Behind the truck there are two more gasoline burners also used in this setup for water boiling ect.
They all burn modern gasoline and we do not have any problems keeping them in working order.
The burners in the truck are restored so wel that they even look better than when they came new from the factory :-)

It is a very early close cab with the blackout light mounted high on the fender.
Serial number is in the 50000
It was stored for 12 years when they started restoration.
It was preserved so wel that the only thing needed was fluids and a paint job.
it took about three weeks to compleet it and to turn it in to a kitchen truck and get it licend for the road. :shock:
