Chevrolet G4100,G700 Series
First appearing in 1940s and designated as the G4100 series, the normal-control 1 1/2-ton Chevrolet became the US Army's standard 4*4 vehicle in this weight class throughout World War II, The G4100 was superseded in 1942 by the more militarized G7100.
The truck was derived from a civilian vehicle of the same rating, and incorporated all-wheel drive. The two-man cab was the same as o the GMC CCKW 6X6, but, unlike the GMC, there was no open cab variant, Power was provided by a Chevrolet six-cylinder petrol engine, driving both axles through a four-speed gearbox and two-speed transfer box. The front axle could be disengaged when not required. GM "banjo"-type hypoid axles were fitted, front and rear, suspended on semi-elliptical leaf springs. The brakes were hydraulic, with vacuum servo power assistance. A Warner electric brake hand controller was fitted in the cab to allow the trailer brakes to be operated separately.
Most of the total production was the steel-bodied cargo vehicle. Other standard variants included panel van, airfield crash tender, bomb servicing vehicle, oil servicing vehicle, telephone and maintenance vehicle. There were also tractor variants(G4113 and G7113), of which just 169 were produced, designed for use in conjunction with a range of 6-ton (gross) semi-trailers. Some 168,603 vehicles were built, respresenting 30 per cent of Chevrolet's total World War II output. The design was widely used by the US Signal Corps and remained in production until 1945.
