I am building a ICM Studebaker US6 and would like a US example rather than a Lend Lease truck. I understand they were used by the 8th Airforce in England, however I have not found any photos on line.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Ian

THE USN used them in the UK, in a funky blue color(!)
