1940 Chevy Trucks

 

I don't know much about Chevy trucks but do know those are 1949-52

 

Whats that dually in the foreground??

 

Look closer, looks to me like two photo's placed together to make a wide shot.

 

JohnnyGee is right, look at the front tires of the car at the bottom just right of center,,
easier to see if you blow it up..
And there are no 1940 Chevys that I see,
only 47 and later..
but maybe that's what he meant to say..

 

Dam Kid"

 

Stan parted out a mid to late 20's Stutz. It had 6 bolt rims similar to the pic.
Also, Stutz was known for fender ends that were separable or separate from the center bumper or spreader.
I cannot say that the pic is a Stutz or not but I know for a fact that he had at least one which was parted.

 

This NCO acting as a chauffeur in Munich,May 1919, had served with WW1 German General Lettow-Vorbeck in east Africa and was serving him again as a member of Freikorps Lettow-Vorbeck.

 

The photo was taken june of 1948 in Salt Lake City Utah.
