discussion I've been meaning to ask

[Robert1968]

Well I may not be in the right area but I was thinking on a truck I saw a few years ago at a museum over on the continent ( Belgium or France I think ) possibly around Normandy etc


There was no plate to say what it was as a man in a black beret had not long got out.


Thought it was a GM truck it maybe a White but I remember I said I'd try and find out.


Aha the forum ....... They'll know


Kindest regards


Robert

Just to add that the DUKW shared the same drive system.
