Get real..Gene......"
Actually.......reality is......
With the exception of the experimental Willys 6x6 jeeps.......
No 3/4 ton 6x6 trucks were built for the Military in WW II.
There were two 1 1/2 ton 6x6 trucks built for the Military in WW II.
Only two firms built 1 1/2 ton 6x6 trucks for the military in WW II .
Dodge and International.
Dodge built the WC 62 and 63 1 1/2 ton 6x6
International built a small number of M-3-6 1 1/2 ton 6x6's for the Marine Corps.
If the vehicle you are referring to is not a Dodge then it can only be a International.
Studebaker did not build 3/4 or 1 1/2 ton 6x6 trucks for the Marines in WW II.
