£10.5K for a restored and running German built truck is good money actually - The GMC you cite is average - look how many GMCs survive and compare to how many Fords are still living - then think about revising your opinion.

Fair enough Hoff

But speaking for myself i haven't got a spare ten grand lying around
so look for the cheaper option lol

Herr Peiper I get your point but we need not have to lower our standard by buying a Ami truck .I was looking at something like this or a French made Truck this then could be used from 1940 till 1945

[Hoffman Grink]

I was about to post similar...... the curse of the re-enactment world - "cheap"

Buy once, buy right.

An Ami truck in German hands leads to more "what if " theories and a further dilution of the facts.

As said - a French truck - or even a good look alike replica built on a modern chassis (like this bread van type things you see only with more accuracy).....

Fair enough comment gents, personally i haven't got room to store a truck at present so am
keepin em peeled for a bike or combo

thats actualy a sexy truck


but it depends on what the use is
as paul said a european vehicle is more likely to have been knicked by the germans

[Hoffman Grink]

That Chevy is a beaut - and cold feasibly have been exported to Europe prewar......... a perfect example of a pressed vehicle

[Moller]

or this one..

You do make me laugh sometimes Peiper. I did assume that as this is the AXIS re-enactment forum that I did not need to put for 'German' re-encating in the title.

So why comment on a thread about trucks?

If you are looking for a motorbike presumably you are looking at Harley 45WL or matchless G3L for your German re-enacting? Or how about a BSA Bantam, thats nearly a wartime DKW?

don't forget in prewar Europe American cars where more popular as they are now! Same as boxing... then incredible popular now it is something almost forgotten.

If you see at the classifieds in the Flemish newspapers of 1930'ies they are full of fords, chevrolets, christlers, buick, pontiacs etc...
