Subject: [MV] Odd WWII GMC or Chevy

| Lurker Rob here
|
| A while back I spied a strange looking C.O.E GMC bus looking thing lurking
in a
| small town out here in the Mojave Desert. At least I think it's a GMC,
maybe a
| Chevy 1.5 T based. Anyway, it looks like a bus, is 4 wheel drive, has the
blunt
| snout of a COE, wire mesh screen over the windows...and packed full of
cr*p,
| sitting in a yard full of more stuff. I didn't have my camera with me or I
| would have snapped a pic of it. It looks very WWII ish..still OD under all
the
| dirt and grime and still had a star on it's nose (I think, it was pretty
hard
| to tell)
|
| If SWMBO and the budget ever lets me have another OD toy it has to be
| usefull...so, with a big family, a bus like vehicle (A Carryall or Command
car
| is out of the question due to the Barret-Jackson like prices) would fit
the
| bill.
|
| The next time I'm in the area I'll snap some pics of it, but if anybody
has any
| idea what the heck I'm blathering on about....or a link to a photo (I've
| scoured the CCKW page and everything else Google yakked up...nada, zip,
zilch!)
| I'd appreciate it.
|
| Thanks in advance
|
| Rob
