I learnt to drive trucks in a studebaker 6 x 6 while serving in the Australian which was still using them in 1963
You are old enough to fart dust.
M151, M151A1, and M151A2 Jeeps.
Impressionnant !
I, as one, remember when I was seven years old I would get out of battleground school Washington state, at 2:00pm get on a different bus number and go to where my father an grandpa was loading up a log bunk modified army 6x6 "Jimmy" with front winch. My job was to pull the logs up onto the truck through a spar tree and let it down when signaled. I run a small Oliver cletrak cat to do it. (About the size of a D-4 or D-5 catapillar)
@@michaeld.coulombesr.583 awesome experience!
I was surprised to learn the duck was capable of adjusting tire pressure while operating. Amazing technology for that time. I did read an article in the early eighties about this technology being used in logging operations. Very interesting.
Love the videos of the old trucks! 🥰 I am proud to own an old rig, a 51 REO wrecker.🤩
Good for you. My friend. My Grandfather built REOs during WWll. Maybe he touched yours???
I have an old REO powered lawn mower. Did you know they had a home products division?
My dad was in 5th Army 26th ordinance, He drove 6X's like that . He was lucky he got to sleep in the truck & not in the mud. Landed in Rabatt, over to Italy & ended up in France at the end of his 4 years over there. Retuned home & drove for Mobil Oil for 40 years
For God's sake, "Corps" is pronounced like "CORE," not like "CORPSE." A "corpse" is a dead body.
What a bimbo.
the United States Marine Corpse lol
You can be sure that after leading off with that they are hearing about it mercilessly.
I noticed that too.
Yeah she should go back and take an English class especially on diction (no pun intended) and pronunciation. Amateur, Semper Fi
In around 1970, my dad bought an ex-army WW2 wrecker/recovery truck for a token 100 Shillings. It had a nice crane, pulleys and other attachments. Don;t know what make it was but I am sure it was British, we did not have much American vehicles in East Africa.
I believe your truck may have been a Scammel. Look for it on TH-cam. I recall watching several videos about them.
My grandfather drove a GMC 6x6 in Europe during WWII. He's been gone since 2006, but this video reminded me of how much he talk about his experiences (the less graphic ones at least) driving in the war. Here was also trained on the amphibious truck, but never assigned to one during the war.
An awesome video about military truck history. While visiting the Philippines in 2019/2020 I seen dozens of the 3/4 ton and 11/4 ton models still hard at work after more than 75 years.
It is also note worthy that manufacturer facility in Cebu has purchased the original sheet metal press molds and the rights to reproduce the Willy's MB design. These newer version is normally stamped from stainless steel and powered by a Toyota diesel engine and power train. These Philippine made version is not available for import to the US.
Hey Maddie a “Corpse” is what is a coffin, A “Corps” pronounced “Kôr” is a main subdivision of an armed force in the field that consists of two or more divisions.
I, as one, just love to read some of these so-called " replies " that people make back and forth. Michael said that. I'm 77 years old. How about ya'll....?? Bye for now my friends.
Was about to post the same comment. Although I was going to say “core”. Isn’t the English language fun?
She may be related to the Kenyan.
My m.o.s. was 64Charlie/ transportation-truck driver. I did boot camp & AIT at Ft. Dix New Jersey Jan,Feb,March,April of '82 was assigned to 41st Transportation Btln in Mannheim Germany driving a duesenhalf. Was assigned my own truck i was so proud. Still am.I was overseas late '82, all of 1983 & came back to Cincinnatis federal buildng in '84 to do my last 10 months as a driver for whatever they needed. Then i discharged(honorable of course) out of Ft. Sheridan in Chicago Sept '84. Now im old as fuck but still a BMF. Thats my story.✌
Not to get off subject and thank you for your service but while you were at Ft Dix did you ever go to the Satellite Lounge ? My brother and I are looking for information and/or any stories about the local Wrightstown bars back in the day. Kelly's Bar and The Post in Wrightstown too.
Wonderful. Thank you! Keep going.
It would have been an interesting anecdote to further describe the M26's chain drive. It was drip-lubed using waste oils. You could always tell where an M26 had been by the twin trails of oil it left on the ground.
A@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Our local fire department had duck in its fleet , I remember my stepdad a ww 2 vet as well as a volunteer firefighter always said the whole back of the lake would be burned before it would ever get across. Was impressive in the fourth of July parade though.
DUKWs are cool as hell, but slower than refrigerated molasses...
Thank you for the truck history. Very well presented as always. I had a 1945 Willys MB Jeep for my first vehicle back in 1965. We had so much fun with it and I learned a bunch about mechanics keeping it working. I sold it to my cousin and lost track of it. It was a very well made vehicle for it's time. I wish I had it back.
David Morse Some people wish they were still making it. The new Jeeps , sold by Chrysler are related to the old jeeps by name only. According to Scotty Kilmer. Many of the new ones are just rebadged Fiats.
Jeep sold the rights of the Willeys Jeep to Mahindra. They have been making them overseas ever since. They've recently brought them to the US as the Mahindra Roxor. They aren't street legal but still look good.
@@chucks4328 Yeah I saw some of those. They are remarkably similar to my old Willys. I actually was thinking of getting one but decided not to when I found out you can't put them on the road legally. What a mistake. Before I got my license, I took my jeep out on the road in front of our house against my mother's wishes. She called the cops on me. I was like, 15 years old. I got the message, "respect authority".
In the Midwest, some of the farmers that came home from the war and bought MD or CJ Willeys to use in farming. Come the 70's and 80's, most were in old barns or tree lines. We young guys started buying them up and getting them running again. They were such fun and we got an education besides.
@@ronfullerton3162 During that time there was a show on TV called, "Rat Patrol". My buddies and I would rat patrol thru our little town trying to catch the eyes of young maidens. Sometimes it even worked.
Great collection of truck videos, thanks!
That clip of various Jeep models was post war showing various civilian Kaiser Jeep models made post WW2.
Added to my WW1-WW2-Korea playlist. I have several Studebaker US6 videos on my WW2 and Industry2 playlists that you might like. I particularly like your Mack videos. I was a final assembly chassis electrician on the R Model line at 5C Allentown and worked in the Motor room at Macungie 1984/5.
Wow thank you for sharing! For some reason people really like our Mack videos more than anything else??? Not sure why.
There are still a small amount of Dodge WC's, Ford GPW's and Studebaker US6's still running here in Australia, the surplus vehicles that were still here after the war were quickly added to the inventory of the Australian Army.
Thanks so much for this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I drove a deuce and 1/2 for serverable trips up toPalgonson the Rock Top to deliver heating oil.Great trips,did pass a Korean truck and rip off his mirror.He chased us all the way up to top.The people on top took care of it. They say a tire got loose and rolled 3+miles down, no trees to stop.My favorite was the weapons carrier truck, like a Dodge power wagon.Great Korea, great people, love them!
My dad has a G506 and a WC-12. Theyre pretty awesome!
Keep the good work! Cheers!
You guys do a great job period Thank you very much.
General Motors had a German subsidiary,Adam Opel.Opel produced a truck for the German military called the Opel Blitz.Underneath,it was just about the same as the GMC CCKW deuce and a half.So when we were advancing into Germany,we had a pretty good supply of parts,if needed.
I worked with an older man that drove Army supply trucks for the 3rd Army. Said they put captured German mechanics to work repairing their broken down Opel Blitz's using genuine GM parts that bolted right on to their surprise.

There is a Military Vehicle Museum in Dubois Wyoming. Quite a large collection of vehicles.
Great writing, editing and narration. Congrats. Damn fine work.
Drove a T-26 in 1973 hauling m-48 and M-60 8th Inf Bn Bad Kreuznach Ge.
My great grandfather drove a supply truck like that in north or south Africa and Italy, he got drafted 1943 and was stuck in Italy for a year, came back home 1946 with the bronze star.
Love US trucks, I have M38A1C 1961 model it fantastic.
Excellent video of some tough ole trucks and history in the making.My farther build heavy truck rear ends in Cleveland during the war.
Thank you Mike for watching and we’re glad you got a kick out of this video! 😎
A very obvious omission was what my dad called a weapon carrier by Ford. It was quite abundant in SoCal in the fifties. It was open top with the six cylinder engine mounted next to the driver. Where did they all go? Most of the surplus vehicles I remember from the fifties were the the Chevy 4X4 , the GMC 6X6, and of course the Jeeps. There were also a few Dodge Weapons Carriers, and Ambulances. Along with the Fords.
A local trucking co had a fleet of Autocar Cabovers. My father said that they had a very unreliable engine. (Hercules?)
Thanks for bringing back memories of my childhood,even if it was post WW2.
Very useful info. Trucks played a big role in the war.
Alan,
Trucks still play a very important role throughout our old world.
From day to day, work in civilian life to military work
Another great video!! I have never heard of several of these trucks
A lot of these truck companies continued on into the 70's Diamond Reo, Brockway etc. most of them disappeared or were merged into other brands.
When I was growing up in the 70s-80s, a local towing company used a military surplus wrecker for heavy recovery and towing on the Ohio turnpike. I often wonder what happened to it after the owner retired and closed the business.
Those trucks are built in such a way that they routinely go back to the surplus dealers and are resold again to loggers, oil drillers, miners, ranchers, foreign military sales. I have an M35a2 that I am turning into an overland camper. It was built in 1972. They are more like stone houses unlike today's McMansions that are thrashed after 20 years.
@@snowwhite7677 I know all that but the wrecker I'm talking about was WWII, or maybe Korean War surplus. Either way, it was a bad azz rig on the pike back then. I hope it's been restored and still around somewhere.
M1A1 Ward- LaFrance series 5?
I'm pretty sure that is one of the heavy duty recovery vehicles you might be thinking of.
I know there was one that served the surplus market and now is owned by a reenactor out of Ohio
Nice video. I just pulled my REO US6 from the shed today and did a couple circuits around the farm and through the ditches. It’s such a beast.
Playwme Bawls I love the REO trucks.🥰 I own a 51 REO wrecker that was bought as a tractor by my dad. Love that old truck and am glad to have it to share with my boys.😍
Love ❤️ your videos
Great VIDEO 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video glad I found you guys
Great video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice overview for beginners ! - Thanks for pointing out that Dodge 1/2-ton trucks were the U.S.Army's FIRST Standardized Light Trucks - BEFORE the 1/4-ton Jeeps. - But the Sum total of Light 4x4 (both 1/2-ton And 3/4-ton payloads) were some 337,500 units. The 255,000 unit number mentioned ONLY covers the 3/4-tons. And ANOTHER 43,000 stretched 1½-ton, 6x6, models were built, for a Grand total of over 380,000 Dodge WC series units - MORE than the Willys MB Jeeps !!
love you channel....3rd time watching....this episode
Great job Maddie.
Very good top ten
Great narrative voice.
awesome video
dad prepared them for utah beach landing. he infantry, motor pool guarded germans but hands near blown off 1 week later. i wish knew more of his work then.
1893 The first 4WD (four-wheel drive) system was developed in 1893 by British engineer Joseph Diplock, who patented a four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering system for traction engines. Six years later, Ferdinand Porsche built a four-wheel drive electric vehicle.
please check your history. just to start with the Duce and a half (2, 1/2 ton) truck was being built by Studebaker before war and shipping them to England and Russia long before we went to war.
And were the first car company to offer to build for the US when the war started.
If I may suggest a subject for another video, the Canadian Military Pattern trucks. These were built by Ford of Canada and General Motors of Canada to British designs and widely used by Commonwealth forces.
Well done.
Liked and subscribed.
Awesome
My uncle on my father's side drove a supply truck for the 3rd armored division.
Cool story
Very interesting video on US built WW2 trucks. Would love to own one myself.
Si Si Si Me suscribi Muy linda informacion y muy bien redactada Gracias
I drove the station commanders Jeep in Korea. 42nd light Regt?
One night I fell out of the back of a GMC between the 38th parallel and the Imjin River.
I heard your disclaimer in the beginning, but I wish you would have mentioned Ford’s weapons carrier. There were a few in the area where I grew up. The GMC and Chevy trucks were referred to as 6X6 and 4X4 respectively. Duce and a half didn’t happen until the M35.
great video i just subbed to your channel and i am a Canadian vet . loved the video
It seems a shame that companies like Brockway & Ward LaFrance that were located here in central upstate NY and played such an important part in the the war effort are now out of business. During those days they were major employers. But as they say, time moves on and things change... Great video!
Along with Studebaker and Packard.
And Walter. Plowed the snow that kept the country moving during the war. I love Walter Snow Fighters.
Prachtig!!!
Another great vid!
However, the 'p' in corps, is silent.
Sincerely, a son of a U.S. Army truck driver (veteran).
Good video keep the work
Thanks for watching, Donavan!!
I have read in a German book that German army mechanics were happy to find out that many parts were interchangable from American trucks of different makes.
Also Ford and GM built trucks for the Wehrmacht.
Great video. Was hoping to see Corbett trucks in this one.
Russians still refer to pickup trucks as "Stude's" (studees not studers) today.. When I was a small boy of 4 or 5, I got to stay overnight at my grandmother's house in South Bend, IN. It was usually a warm day in July and the front window would be open all night for cooling. Her house was on the street used to drive the Studebaker trucks from the plant to the railroad yard west of the city. As regular as clockwork, a truck would come rolling down the street EVERY 10 MINUTES, stop for a stop sign on her corner and then continue on to the RR. This went on every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 3 YEARS. It was like counting sheep.
My grandfather was a machinist at REO MOTORS before and during the war. They produced the Diamond T and REO brand trucks of WWll, Korea, and Vietnam.
FYI: R.E.O. are the initials of Ransom E. Olds. Maker of the original curved dash Olds and Oldsmobile autos until merging with G.M.
Lansing, Michigan is the proud home of REO and the Oldsmobile car manufacturing plants back in the day.
Sadly, Diamond T trucks ceased production in 1975.
My father was a REO driver ( turkish army). He said that it was an amazing truck. Big but easy to drive in the same time.
REO and Vabis were his choice.
Studebaker decided to keep the wing windows in their truck doors so the driver could have better ventilation in all temperatures which made the truck immensely popular with the Soviet drivers.
I want one of those wreckers!!
You can see the direct lineage of the 2.5 ton today. CCKW > M54 gas > M35 multifuel > M35a3 cat diesel > M939/BMY 5 tons.
now show one on the current successor of the Dragon Wagon, the M1070 HET for hauling 70 tons, my baby in Iraq.
I collect both German and US Military trucks although I have never owned a Jeep! I am into Unimogs and some of the larger US trucks, I have a M977 HEMTT with a material handling system (crane) on the back, my largest tractor is an M920 its a 6 wheel drive semi tractor rated as a 20 ton then of course your regular Dueces etc. I have a whole ware house full, my wife thinks it time to thin the herd a bit? Not sure what thats about?
I saw many tough reliable trucks was wondering about the Mormon Harrington.
i have an old vintage truck magazine,and in it was a bloke going on about surplus trucks after the war and a breakers yard they were being scrapped in .any way he goes on about a very rare 8+8F W D.he left a letter in to say can he buy it but the scrap guy never saw it and cut it up there is a picture of it but i have never seen it anywhere that type of recovery f w d in books so scrap guy you NOMP.
It is not possible to include all the trucks, but the flat face Chevrolet truck, 5 ton was quite popular in the Far East sector. The US Army left them all behind after the war ended. In India, they were sold, resold, had their engines changed to diesel and were still to be seen till the mid 1980s. Now a few are lying around as scrap. In Myanmar some are still used, I believe. WW II jeeps are collectors items now in India, and you can see them in almost all vintage car rallies or on display in heritage hotels. The Dodge weapons carriers were used by the Indian Army till the 1960s. A similar looking truck made by Nissan was common in the Indian Army as well. Many of the Dodge trucks trickled into private use. They could be seen till the 1990s.
General Stillwell told my Dad that he was the best truckdriver he ever rode with in Burma.
Do you know about the German trucks? Opel built the "Blitz" trucks. Opel was a subsidiary of GM. Hanomag built the first vehicle with internal fenders. What was Krupp doing?
what happened to fwd models
What’s on the back of that truck at 07:21??? Looks like a skip truck arm!
I was in 2 corps area once. Bodies all over the place
Besides pronouncing corps without the “p”or”s”, the Reo truck name is pronounced as one word. Not R.E.O. Ransom E Olds could not use his name for vehicles after he sold to GM. He used the Reo name for his trucks.
Tracy's right.
F.N.A.!
In 1970 I had a 36` Reo Speedwagon, it really turned heads as I cruised the main drag winding out those straight cut gears! The band thing effed up my truck story on numerous occasions.
Hey guys, I did just a few weeks ago read the "classification" of German "Trucks", but already the source told and showed that especially the "heavy" truck classification were often useless and here the greatest shortage existed, when I think today of a "LKW" as we call it in Germany I think of one of these little beast which can carry up to 20t (more in "better" regions, or "worse" but without any other signification traffic like Australia where I think 3 such cargo loads were carried by these "road trains", a single cargo can be up to 28t I did read that because of Elon Musks and MAN/Mercedes (a German company) trying to bring the first E-Truck first for Europe and than global, the first version will only support lower cargos and the range will be limited, I think a "Autobahn/Highway"-Transport with for example 10-11t Cargo and 90km/h (almost 60mph) will be only possible in heavy populated areas like the Rhein-Main-Area or from the 2 closest Polish Borderpoints to Berlin (for commercial vehicles there are still some rules even within the EU-borders and also if there would be no corona),
I noticed that all vehicles the Axis produced were heavy underpowered, thats because they liked to build crazy giant vehicles, but sometimes like for "U-Boot" Type VII(c), the most used submarine I think, it was something like 700hp Diesel-Electric? The electric being here only a small back up, as many people later said the U-Boot Type XXI was the first "real" u-boot, much larger ranges under water with higher speeds, improved simple things as special long snorkel allowed to run the engines up to some depth (I guess there were some reasons why not at least 1 in and 1 out deeper snorkel was used before, maybe they couldnt filter the dirt/dust which left the snorkel?
The same thing we have with tanks, like them or not but the "tigers" and everything build on its base were so underpowered but already using I think the best engines for its size, why was it like that? Today a "small" Bugatti or so has 1500hp or more and why didn't they use the "advantage" of diesel? because of the extreme fuel shortages? I mean afaik for every heavier vehicle a diesel is the better choice, I think production is more expensive (was this the reason?!) but efficiency per liter much better and lower diesel hp seem to give more power to big beasts?! I mean a heavy 20-ton cargo "LKW" with a 1000hp gasoline engine vs 1000hp diesel engine the gasoline build as a "race" or "boxster"-engine or so could be maybe deliver more performance in 0-100 or 0-150, but the fuel/100km consumption would be like 35 liters compared with diesel around 20 liters if both would drive the usual up to ~100 - 110km/h on the Autobahn, giving each other Slipstream for a while and than change...
was the embargo and the blockade of Nazi Germany by Sea by the Royal Navy (supported by the US Navy already long before it entered war, Venezuela, Argentina and a list of other countries were heavily monitored or what they are doing with their oil, already pre-war, but after September or maybe a weeks after the War began they made sure that no oil from there or the Middle East (which in many countries was just planning to start its first shippings, like Saudis, they had to wait 6 years because of the war, Persia was in the North occupied by the Soviets, UK accepted this and Soviets also used Northern Persian oil and the ports for transport of course, 30% of all goods delivered to the SU as aid came via that Persian-Caspian-Baku-Route...
did the engine construction was really so far behind back than? I know that WW1 aircraft were flying with engines, the weakest below 100hp (German, not soo large difference, but a small), than the earlier models had 120hp as permanent power and for example 140hp starting power limited for a few minutes for start and maybe once again in combat, this seemed unbelievable low but it seems to be true that the "best" fighters (I mean it was really the very early time and some pilots used pistols and revolvers to shot at the enemy, bombs often were thrown by hand by the 2nd person, it was like "adventure", I guess the efficiency was terrible back than?! Because even 5000 German/Austrian-Hungarian (and allied) aircraft with an average 150 hp doesn't sound like they would consume so extreme much oil/fuel?!
I've always heard it called REO not R-E-O. REO was a truck, spelled its a band. And its "core" not "corpse".
REO stands for Ransom E. Olds, the inventor and founder of the company
When the jeep was introduced, there was already another military vehicle with that name (I have been unable to verify which one). The vehicle was described as a reconnaissance truck (names they WERE called: beeps, peeps, seeps, &c). My Pappy was a Combat Engineer stationed at San Louis Obispo with the 115th Engineer Combat Battalion on Sept 9, 1942 when he wrote this letter to his girlfriend: " On August 5, 1942 he offered, in another letter: " .... This O.D. job isn’t so bad. There is a Beep here for me to use, but the hell of it is, I can’t leave except to inspect the guard ...."
Great video!
Everyone has mentioned the pronunciation of CORPS. Enuf said on that.
The US Army Transportation Corps was founded in 1942 because of the increasing transportation needs of the US military resulting from WW2, and I think that it might have been developed out of the Ordnance Corps.
That tire inflation system from inside the cab is called Central Tire Inflation System, abbreviated CTIS. It is used on the M900 series trucks and others.
The pronunciation of Jeep was derived from GP, which is the abbreviation for General Purpose. When you say the letters GP, it sounds similar to Jeep. The GP vehicle was designed for general use purposes in the military, and was used accordingly. Similarly, the HMMWV (called a HumVee and Hummer) is the modern replacement of the Willys and Ford GP. It stands for High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle. The term Multi-Purpose is the equivalent of General Purpose. Of course, there was the CUCV in between. Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle. Built on a Chevrolet frame, using the 1.25 ton pickup and the .75 ton Blazer body styles, they have the V8 diesel motor and an automatic transmission, and was a good transition model between the GP and the HMMWV.
Fun fact the REO trucks were built by Oldsmobile and the R.E.O of their name is for Ransom Eli Olds the gentleman who founded Oldsmobile to begin with!!! So when you see any REO truck, they were built by Oldsmobile, which most people are not aware REO was the truck side of the Oldsmobile production line for many years leading up to World War II
Sorry but this is not totally correct. Although REO was named after Ransom E Olds, the company was never aligned with Oldsmobile. Oldsmobile was a separate company that Ransom started after he sold REO(at the time called R.E.Olds Motor Company). REO was bought by White after WW2 and combined with another company they also owned(Diamond T)to become Diamond REO. REO and Oldsmobile( a GM brand) were never owned by the same corporation.
Core core core dammit
I'm sure without power steering, seat suspension or any other creature comforts, those truck crews went in as wimps but came out with arms like Popeye and buns of steel!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
In terms of the seating, as anyone can guess (like my father)by the time my father was 41 years old his lower back was toast (being a truck driver a lot of the time in his life.)
Dodge, power wagon😍
Lend Lease 793,000 trucks and jeeps were shipped under Lend Lease.
Acrosst?? This is milspeak for "We shipped thems darned trucks accrost tha ocean"
I'll take two of all these vehicles please! Thank you. 😉😁
Old technology now, you won't get spare parts. Lol.
@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 That's why I'd want two... spare parts.
You are forgetting about the IH M5H6 my grandfather had one he got after he served in WW2
I drove a Dragon Wagon in 1972 in Germany .
5:50 film running backwards. The exhaust is going back into the tail pipe
Correct, note the driver is watching the rear of the truck, not the front.
Mack, Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler are the American elgend over time.
you forgot WWI where trucks and motorcycle were used with great effect!
No surprise really, This guy is a goof, and just trying to use a lady's voice to market his chrome shop stuff
them three quatre dodge cool lookin truck the long range desert group used two wheel drive trucks for going all over the deserts two wheel drive ???? just shows yer good truck dem .
The M26 looks a lot like the modern, and lightly armored tractor/trailer in use by the modern United States Army.
#1775 #ProudtobeanAmerican
REO are the initial of the the founder ,Ransom E Olds. But Reo is pronounced as one word
What about the various British and Canadian trucks
