Comment:  This vehicle was delivered in July 1945. Due to the war ending, this particular truck stayed in the US up until at least 1957. The truck went through some sort of overhaul that year at the Kansas Ordnance Department. Sometime between 1957 and 1973 it was sold to the Norwegian Army where in 1973 it went through its second overhaul.
