in reasearching the K-list, I learned more about radars than I ever wanted to know. now I imagine your going to get to be the wolds formost expert on the SCR-270 :-D weather you want to be or not.
it would be interesting to find out how many of those made it to GB.
I would imagine a trailer mfgr. could build you a body for 20,000 G. or so. especcally if you could find an old flatbed to salvage for the floor.

as far as production numbers go, I found this list of hood numbers. that was published for black out lights.
http://books.google.com/books?id=K5-_RMzKdMQC&pg=PA214&dq=k-18+gmc+truck#v=onepage&q=&f=false
I used it to find numbers for the K-18 truck.
maybe if you can find the book or a copy of the complete list, it would have somthing.

if you go to the K-list I posted on wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Signal_Corps_vehicles
and scroll down to the V-list, look at V-12. I think after the SCR-270 became obsolete thay may have gutted the vans, and reused them for a parts truck for the AN/MPN radar. other than that I think thay were only used for the scr -270.
gene helecksons mobile radar web site, has most of the SCR-270 configurations listed.

one thing i noticed , some vans have a square wheel well, and some have a round one. also I cant quite tell if the section above the wheel well opens up or not.

heres the hem museum.
it would require a real international effort with lots of do-ray-me to put the unit back togeather again.
I'v talked to the guys at the museum, and there a shoestring opperation, it just kills me that the antenna is being used for a pigon crapper.
is this your thread on the cckw forum?

WOW, nice find, you probably know that the HEM museum has the only surviving SCR-270 array.
well guess what theres another chasis here in denver. actually its for sale in supply line. but its missing its box also.
dont know if its a K-30, K-31, or K-62,, I think its a 43, wich makes me think its a K-62 but who knows.
theres some good pics on the fort gorden website.
