Hi Mac:
That's cool to know. I'd really like to track down the Beast's history too. I know I read about the 1/2 tons being widely used, not only in the PTO, but also in North Africa, and I vaugely remember this Russian site that showed all the US vehicles they used from Lend Lease. I believe they showed some 1/2 ton closed cabs with Russian stars.
I also remember seeing a picture of Rommel in a 1/2 ton CC that was captured, and he was using. I'm a newcomer to the wonderful world of WC's & PW's. I knew absolutely nothing (other than they were cool to look at) before I got into the hobby, and what I don't know can fill volumes. Oh well.
Later
