OK,
So I went and took a look-see ............ and bought it!
Used to be a pole setting truck. U.S.A.F. owned it 1st, then was allocated to a Co-operative Extension type of Agency. The PO had very little info about it's history, but was interested in it because of the axles.
Anyway, we were able to agree on terms, and I will have it at my place in a couple of weeks.
NO mil-spec data plate to be found, but a whole bunch of military stencil. I'm excited to get it - the plan is to rehab her into the hauler for a WWII ambulance for parades & shows.
A lot to figure out but hoping to do a "Build" here.
