1941-47 Chevrolet, possibly a 1 1/2 ton model. |

Those double rear wheels seem somewhat unfitting.. -- Last edit: 2010-11-21 13:30:06 |

The chassis looks to be the common 2 1/2 ton model, of which they built many thousands during the war years for the military. I guess in that early postwar era, when someone wanted a special purpose van the more appropriate lighter chassis wasn't available and an ex-military truck could be had cheaply. What is the van for in the movie? Is it an armoured security van? -- Last edit: 2010-11-21 18:56:53 |

Yes, they transport money with the truck. |

This panel has a 1946+ front bumper. So it's certainly and more simply a 1½-ton or a (new for 1946-47) 2-ton chassis + cowl + windshield (more or less a chassis-cab) with a non-factory body, all the more if it's an armored truck. Due to the dual rear wheels and what seems to be the small 134½"/3.42 m wheelbase, it could be a 1½-ton Special (2-ton truck downgraded to 1½-ton specs. 6112S model code) or a 2-ton (6112 code) model: ![[Image: uU9ZBu2m.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/uU9ZBu2.jpg "http://i.imgur.com/uU9ZBu2m.jpg") ![[Image: b044ohom.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/b044oho.jpg "http://i.imgur.com/b044ohom.jpg") ...or a 1½-ton model (code 4112) with the optional dual rear wheels: ![[Image: yng1MI3b.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/yng1MI3.jpg "http://i.imgur.com/yng1MI3b.jpg") (Click...) A genuine 1946+ 1½-ton panel would have A different body: ![[Image: 7F5jFKLm.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/7F5jFKL.jpg "http://i.imgur.com/7F5jFKLm.jpg") (All pictures are excerpts from the 1946 Chevrolet truck data book for Chevrolet salesmen) 1946-47 1½-ton models were "downgraded" to medium-duty trucks by Chevrolet, while the 1½-ton Special and the 2-ton models became the new heavy-duty trucks. It's therefore impossible to give an exact model name for this one. -- Last edit: 2019-03-05 04:50:05 |
