I own an M207 CDN. Made by GMC. Basically the cab and chassis of the GMC 2.5 ton truck. With tandem wheels, it usually became an M211 with the cargo body installed on the chassis.

My vehicle was made in 1955. Happy to try and answer any other questions.

Default M207 gmc

Anthony,
Looks like a solid truck. The M207 was the cab and chassis designation. It could either have a cargo box (= M211) or some sort of radio or medical shelter.
Lots of parts and manuals for these trucks if when you dust it off and see what you need. PM me for details.
Brian

I can't see the back well but it appears that there may be a pivot plate sticking up off the frame..Is it a tractor..??for a semi trailer..??That would be too cool..
