Re: GM Semis
Per the guy that knows old peterbilts.
It will not have been military surplus. This Peterbilt has aluminum radiator, which Peterbilt stopped building from mid-1942 through February 1945. The bumper is Fall '45-'49.
If the emblems were not airbrushed out of the photo, it is possible the truck was rebuilt with newer hood and radiator shortly after the war, without the emblems. Trucks were very scarce at the time, this was done a fair amount.
