This 1½-ton Chevrolet G-7107 truck was delivered to the military in April 1942 as a cargo truck. The crash truck body and Marquette manual wrecker boom were added later, but probably while the truck was still in use by the military. The same boom was installed on 50 Ford GTBB 1½-Ton wrecker/service trucks. It is likely that the truck was used by the U.S. Army Air Corps, probably in Korea.
Restoration work has been started. The body has been completely sandblasted, all of the rust has been removed, holes patched, metal straightened, and it has four coats of primer. The engine had a depot rebuild in 1961, although it is not currently running. I have new wiring harnesses, stainless steel brake lines, and many other new parts, but they must be installed. The cab, obviously, needs a great deal of work.
SOLD!
