Mike,
Have a look at my GTBS at
http://www.astory.com/mil-veh/gtb.html
There are not many things that you can object to with the GTB. They drive
nicer than a Dodge or GMC of the same tonnage, have a tighter steering
circle, and are a real eye catcher. The engine is a common Ford product, so
there aren't too many problems getting parts for it. It uses the same
electrical components as the MB/GPW- headlights, voltage regulator,
generator. The only hard part is finding one which is not completely
butchered- a testament to the usefulness of the truck. I have seen dump
conversions, manure spreaders, wreckers, and even a cow transporter version!
All had modifications to the body or frame.
Some made it overseas in WWII to Europe. I don't know who had them, as the
cargo version was classed as limited standard by the middle of the war. The
bomb trucks were used all over the place, especially stateside during and
after WWII.
Email me off list if you are looking for a project, as I know of several for
sale.
