thanks for the interest Towbarlover , it still has the hood number on and i know quite a lot of the history , been on the same base from it`s delivery date july 1943, there are two trucks in the states of the same make and type with very close numbers

i plan to leave it in the original paint for the time been ,it would be a shame to paint such an original vehicle

Fully agree basically; GMC in Holland is in samo sort of old brown / red colour too........

Towbarlover

Have you already discovered the hood-number? All US Army Fire Trucks hood-numbers start with 50 and then followed by 4 more digits. Jim Davis (through me) could provide all further (DoD) info on this truck.

It is a lovely beast.............

3 Years ago a same type of firetruck was imported into Holland, being a GMC though........

Any plans to restore to original O.D. painting?

Greetings from the United States. I am interested in hearing from other owners of the Cab Over Autocar U-7144-T. I am looking for a cab bow for the canvas and original data plates. I would also enjoy hearing from others regarding their restoration and operation. Best regards.

On the cab bow would suggest to contact Jacob Rietveld of Rietveld Autoparts in Belgium. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?hl=nl&q=cache:r2ZiU7BIsfYJ:http://www.milweb.net/go/rietveld/%2BRietveld+Autoparts&gbv=2&rlz=1W1ADRA_nlBE370&gs_l=heirloom-hp.3..0.3868.8028.0.9076.18.9.0.9.9.0.190.1406.0j9.9.0...0.0...1c.1.1eKt0tf8JO8&ct=clnk

or email address jacob.rietveld@telenet.be .

He is travelling to the US regularly, so could take it with him........

Good luck,

Towbarlover

Chris,

 

My bet would be on Mack NM not NR.

 

Alex

Agree to Mack NM; NR has no winch placed between the cab and cargo department. See space on the picture......

Towbarlover

I am missing the 968 input / pictures...........

No such trucks in the UK?

Here we go, from the Charles Brown collection held at the RAF Museum:

 

Nice pic, thanks! Think such a bowser was for sale recently on Milweb if I do remember well..........

Anymore avails are welcome!!

Towbarlover

I've read that S stood for suppressed - i.e. vehicle fitted with radio suppression.

Think you're right...........thanks!

Towbarlover

On many WW2 US Army GMC AFKWX trucks the Hood VIN number is supplemented with a "S" after the figures.

Could anybody explain the meaning? Does it stand for Short body or rather Stretched body, or not at all?

Please clarify.

Towbarlover

Not USAAF but I have an image of an RAF one in use towing a refuelling trailer if that's any use?

Yes, would certainly help.............thanks.

Towbarlover

Are there any WW2 US AAF Clarktor Aircraft Tugs pictures available in action on Anglo / American airfields?

Or pictures of tugs presently in preservation?

Would love to see these.

Towbarlover

In my collection is a 1943 US AAF C1 A "General Bronze Co, New York" Propeller Trailer (Dolly).

Have never seen a second example.............
