These are being sold close to home as 1 1/2 ton 1940's Chevy trucks. Does anybody know an exact year, axle, trans, transfer, or engine on these things. Ill try and get more pics tommorow, my cousins gonna go take a look, since Im in Okinawa, but if you recoginze them, or have one yourself, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like an old M715 kaiser. 1 1/4 ton I think. If it is, should have a dana 60 front and dana 70 rear with 5.87 gears(I think).

The last one you posted is a M37 50's era truck, this preceded the M715 Kaiser. The old Chevys are WWII vintage and have a six,4 speed and drop out center sections in the axle housings. Thats all I know for sure. If you google M37 you should get tons of info. On the WWII Chevys you may want to try steel soldiers or some other military vehicle restoration site. That is all.

one of those cabs on a set or rockwells and some 53s would be pretty sweet. IF they have a dana 60 they re probably the closed knuckle style (birfield) and im not sure what parts availability is on them. . .or how easy u can convert them.
I say if they are cheap enough get em. . . thats why we have words like antique, vintage, art, to justify owning cool old junk.
