A friend asked me to build a model of the exact truck he once owned, happy to oblige. He provided the Peerless (Italeri?) kit and I did what I could to convert the 1942 Chev 15cwt depicted in the original kit to a his 1944. Round roof hatch, hub flanges, relocated overflow can, 2C1 instead of 2H1 wood body. Also opened the windshields and gave it headlamps. I took this pic of it beside the 'stock' version I built decades ago.
