Serge,

Well done. Was it the "la Calmette" scrapyard?

I seem to remember there is a running example here as well; I will check if I can find the picture.

Hello ALEX

Our truck was stored under the sky during near 40 years and the location of the scrapyard was at the east of VALENCE and near the town of ROMANS. The name of the location is "LA SAONE". It is a well known scrapyard with a large array covered by DODGE WC54. There were a great quantity of DIAMONT T some sold in HOLLAND. Actually there is 2 BROACKWAY in bridge layer configuration, one FEDERAL 606 or 604 but all in a very bad stad .

The owner of the scrapyard has start the fabrication of little part for DODGE , JEEP and GMC. On the wen he owns a site and you have to enter the "SMI" characters.

The truck saved in HOLLAND is very beautiful and we hope to do the same job

Best regards Serge

Serge:

Quelle est la nom du site au complet?

Hello

The web address of the site is : www.jeep-dodge-gmc.com/

You will find page and page of parts but for some of them like "train fixe pour gear box of DODGE" the price is incredibily high.The owner ask 500 euros for an used part.

That is an awesome truck. There was a small American truck manufacturer in Henderson, North Carolina, USA, about 40 miles from where I live now.

Can you post pics of the data tags, please!

From the Corbitt website: "From 1939-1945 Corbitt designed and built over 3,200 50SD6 6-ton, 6x6 prime movers for the US Army. These trucks were equipped with either the 779 or the 855 cubic-inch Hercules 6-cylinder gasoline engine. They were used in every theater of operation during World War II. Corbitt lacked production capacity for all the trucks needed, so White, Brockway, Ward LaFrance, and FWD all built the same or very similar trucks. Altogether, over 10,000 of these trucks were built by the five manufacturers."

See the attached photo of a Corbitt.
