It is only two wheel drive and interesting that the side lights look to be blanked off.

Hi Jack:
Thanks for the correction on 4x2 vs. 4x4. I was not sure from the angle of the photo whether you could see the front differential or not but now I see the straight axle much better. Regarding the blanked off side lights, this seemed to be fairly common on these wartime conversions. I found several photos on Hanno's MH site and other sites when I was looking for a 4x4 answer that had them blanked off in a similar manner. Bill

Once enlarged....
The outline of the front beam axle is visible......
Look similar to all the stripped down orchard trucks used in the Niagara area...... sure could lift some heavy peaches!!!!!

My guess
This is a bomb service truck, used on states-side aerodromes which were all hard surfaced.
The Pacific Campaign showed the need for 4x4 to cope with jungle conditions around newly built island air strips, so the Chev M6 and Ford GTB were developed. Rob
