I studied the available pictures of the LRDG trucks, but they not seem to have too big wheel openings, as seen on some other similar chevy trucks. The LRDG fenders look modified: shorter and wider, like seen at the first picture attached - the side steps shape indicates the oversized fenders, to compare to civil models, although this is not exactly LRDG, but at the second picture, the similar truck is described as 1533x2… is this correct description? Very interested, the total width of these fenders. |
Hi Igor:
The Chevrolet wreck lying in the desert of Egypt was most probably used by the SDF (Sudan Defence Force) but it is not an LRDG truck.
The other Chevrolet shown on your B/W photos was originally used by the Free French. The caption is totally wrong.
