Pictures, yes!
Please do so, I'm curious to know more. Any type of Yankee Joe is rare in this country as that class of vehicle was filled with CMPs. The Australian Army aquired very few American Chev 4x4s.
One give away in regards to identification on these trucks is the transfer case. There were three different patterns. 1/ Single output yoke at rear. (Hand brake in rear hubs). 2/Two outputs at rear. Lower to rear diff, upper had a hand brake drum mounted and drove nothing else. 3/ Two outputs at rear. Lower to rear diff, upper yoke connected to auxiliary gearbox to drive earth borer and or winch. No hand brake drum. (Hand brake in rear hubs). It seems a rather high percentage of Yankee Joes here were earth borer/pole setters. Cargo trucks are in the minority with bomb trucks, tractor units or vans unheard of to my knowledge. I would be quite interested to learn otherwise. I have a liking for these little trucks and recently imported one from the U.S. David

I have a M6 bomb service truck with a DOD of Nov 1941 Chassis # 4NQ 1975, It came from down near Albury and was advertised in the farm auction as a 4 x 4 Studebaker. It had a seed grain bin with the auger out over the front, and a broken chassis that had been repaired.
It is missing the crane, seats, windscreen and a lot of other parts that I haven't noticed yet. It has a very early registration number W004804, a nice fellow in Los Angeles, who is a bit of an expert on M6s, said he had never seen an earlier number surviving. Cheers Ken

May be to rare, I have heard of the crane part at Charters Towers, but no proof that it exists.
I did find a Beebee hand winch for the crane at the local truck wrecker. I will put some photos up when I get organised, which could be months at the rate I am going. Ken

Spoke to owners brother and he allowed a better look at it today
Could not spot a chassis number or any other data plates though Does a engine number help in identification ?
