Am no expert, but as noted above, the presence of vent windows is the big tip-off that it's a Stude US6. Another is the flat-top front fenders. Since that truck has only a single rear axle, I believe it is a Chevy and not a GMC. Would be glad to be corrected.

Looking at the rather unique front fenders, I'd say the GMC link you provided is the same truck. Made 1941-45, so it is WW II era though. It was nice to look at, while taking a break on the road. I'd have opened the driver door and looked for a data plate, but did not wanna get shot, or arrested. LOL
Thanks
I posted some photos of John Benter's restored US6 here: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub....1-2=&styleid=2

WW II Studebaker Truck?
A few weeks ago I was out in Colorado on the Gold Wing. Stopped and took these pix by an abandoned gas station, somewhere around Red Rock Canyon, near the Colorado/Utah line. Am I correct in thinking this is a WW II era Studebaker truck? Thanks3 PhotosTags: None
