That is true but there were many CMPs and CCKWs that were flogged to death as well and restored examples of these trucks seem to be far more numerous attendees at MV rallies in Europe compared to US6 trucks that are rarely seen . I guess that in Europe relatively few US6 were supplied to Allied forces that were outside of the USSR sphere of control.

I believe that Bart V wrote a short piece in W&T, mentioning a US6 that appeared at a European rally but the chaps driving it thought the petrol was too expensive and the truck was not moved from its parking spot ! Think they were from the Czech Republic.
