Chevy C60L GS Truck

The Chevrolet C60L GS Truck was better known as the "three-tonner". This next section describes the photo below.

PHOTO: Chevrolet "Three-Tonner"

A "three-tonner" coming out of a landing craft in the after the D-Day landings. The canvas screens under the radiator of this truck are part of the effort to waterproof the engine so that the truck could wade through water over its axles. A white five-pointed star was a common recognition sign for all Allied vehicles. The conspicuous mark on the roof was evidence that drivers now had more to fear from friendly planes than from the Luftwaffe.
