The register lists here 2 versions from the five-cylinder of 12,742 cm³, an unladen weight of 13,700 kg and a gross weight of 20,500 kg, a length of 7,320 mm and a width of 2,550 mm.
Vehicles of this weight class with all-wheel drive are common on the US market above all as off-road carriers for municipal and special bodies at authorities, airports and in winter services, where high ground clearance and traction are required. Such vehicles were usually built in small numbers, often by hand, which makes them sought-after but rare collector vehicles today. In Europe, examples of this American make are scarce and appear mainly in specialist collections.
On these special chassis, operating hours and drivetrain condition, the function of four-wheel drive and axle differentials, rust on the frame and the condition of the respective body count; parts for these rare US chassis usually run through specialist commercial-vehicle and classic-vehicle workshops. Given the rarity of these vehicles, thorough documentation of prior ownership and any restoration work is particularly valuable.
