5. Chevrolets
The Spanish army appears te have had a substantial fleet of pre-war Chevrolets. The high bodies look all the same and were probably locally made. The book says these trucks were received in the fifties as Amercian aid (like the previously shown vehicles) but I doubt that. They were probably imports from around 1940 (could this be right, David?). There are several versions in this book: pontoon carriers, infantry trucks, mg trucks and 20mm AA trucks (the guns in this particualr picture are Italian 20mm Breda's: a remnant fomr the Spanish Civil War, I guess).
Enjoy,
Nuyt
