Hanno,
The Danish army Bedford RL, which is really a descendant of the Chev C60 as they are both GM products and the 300 ci Bedford engine is of similar basic design to the "Stovebolt".
Regarding "fake vehicles", with the amount of interest and lack of vehicles through rarity or cost, this will always happen. No one worries too much now about the M201 Hotchkiss finished as a WW2 jeep, or the replica German armoured cars built on Land Rover running gear, or the German tanks built for films such as Saving Private Ryan. There was even a replica WW1 tank present at W&P built on a Centurion hull, seemed to fool a few people. You accept them for what they are. If it was not for some replicas or "fakes", the visual and moving image of these vehicles would not be seen for real, only as pictures in books or exhibits in museums, so they do serve a purpose.
