So my son is deep into history and fabrication. I like mil trucks.
Enter in "Audie Muprhy" the run way crash truck that was a 1944 Chevy G506 - 1.5T truck for the US Army Air Force.
The design concept is that it's still a "crash truck" that's been updated with mil parts over the years.
We got it from a pulp mill in Maine, where it had a fifth wheel plate poorly welded on 4x4 box tube to haul pulp trailers into the mill for 45 + Years.
I don't feel bad about taking this one apart, as it's so bastardized it's not even funny.
Originally, we were going to use the factory frame, but it necks down to 2" in front which makes it about impossible to use.
So we stuck it on a 5t frame, MRAP Axltech 4K axles, Axletech 600 transfer case, MRAP front springs and hangers, Peterbuilt rear air leaf and bags, etc.
