  11. We have just started on our next restoration .It will be our biggest challenge so far .It will be added to our collection of USN trucks. That we have restored over the last 10 years. (GTB CARGO --- GTB BOMB SERVICE---M5 BOMB TRAILER ---INTERNATIONAL M-3-4 CRASH TENDER--FORD GPW----INTERNATIONAL m-2-4 ----JEEP GENERATOR & AIRCRAFT MAINTANANCE LIGHTS==)The truck was imported some years back . We brought the light body . The truck had a GS body installed & attended some shows . We then where offered the truck back without the cargo back. We have collected most parts for the restoration . We have spoken to our friends across the pond they think it might be the only one to survive . ??? T CORBIN
