Default Chevrolet CMP Fat von 1944

Nice Chevrolet CGT project for sale in a German website, but it is located in Belgium.

Being a typical FAT turned into a wrecker is why the rear body is missing, but also ensured it still survives in a running and stopping form.

Chevrolet CMP FAT selten
6.800 € VB
Hiermit biete ich einen seltenen Chevrolet CMP Fat von Juni 1944 an.
Er fährt und bremst.
Nach dem Krieg wurde er zum Abschleppwagen umgebaut.
Er fuhr bis 1991 und wurde danach in einer Scheune eingelagert.
Er befindet sich in Belgien und hat belgische Papiere.

Whenever I see a FAT chassis/cab coming up for sale, I think about building one of those Indian Pattern FATs:

Default CGT Project

It would be a shame to convert the wrecker back to a gun tractor as the wrecker is an excellent and colourful example of how these vehicles were repurposed in their post-war life.

You do have a point Ed. The most extensively converted CMP I know of - see above - was preserved in its wrecker guise for exactly that reason.

Personally I would restore the CGT project I posted into a rare wartime variant of which there are no known survivors.
