COE double cab 6X6
Here is an interesting picture taken in Ft. Bliss, Texas in 1943 of what appears to be a COE double cab. I've never seen a double cab/crew cab configuration on any WWII 6X6 before and I wonder if this was very rare and perhaps only seen on bases in the U.S. during the war. I know before the war there were commercial "three door" trucks, such as the Montpelier bodied COE's which had space behind the front seats for a sleeper or another row of seats. Another interesting item to note is the large radiator outside of the grill to provide additional cooling for the very hot Texas summers. Anyone have any pics of such a cab configuration in an operational area?
Thanks, Derek.
