Nice find Philippe, I hope the fire truck enthusiasts will not frown upon you turning this into a "desert truck"

When determining the details of the Indian Pattern Chevrolet 1311X3, I found the GM resource linked below very useful to look up wheelbases and other specifications. I have added a direct link to the 1939 model specification for your convenience.
