Description
G7117
US military truck
The G7117 army two-axle all-terrain vehicle was a variant of the G7100 series truck, launched by General Motors in the fall of 1941. It was a four-wheel drive vehicle with a lifting capacity of 1.5 tons, with a metal cab and a mechanically driven winch from a gearbox at the front of the chassis. Most of these vehicles were sent during World War II as military aid to the Allies. However, the US military also operated a number of these trucks. Basically, cars performed various kinds of secondary functions. After the war ended, many of the remaining trucks went into private ownership.
