I have bought a Chevrolet Panel Delivery to take to Normandy next year. I can find no photos of them even in the background. I would appreciate anything to try to find out their uses.
I have found out a bit about production 1941-47 almost unchanged. They came with painted or chrome grille in civilian service but strangely all the military ones were delivered in olive drab or navy grey with chrome grille. They may or may not have been painted over in service.
Mine is a;
Truck, Panel Delivery, 3/4 ton, 4x2 SNL G-616
The 1/2 ton is almost identical in appearance but SNL G-612
These have nothing in common with the larger 1 1/2 ton Chevrolet 4x4 dual wheel panel truck except the rear body.
On the right is a factory photo of the carryall version of my van - note the chrome grille.
