Kinda looks like a Army Signal Corps type K-18 radio van,but it is missing it's brush guard.
Should be between a 1938 and 1942 model year made by GMC,model CF 351.
Kind of a rare bird,258 made in 1941 and 109 in 1942.
EDIT,It is a K-18 Signal Corps van,either a 1941 or 42 model.
Stop and ask about it!!!!!

Sure looks similar but looking at details: grill is different, front of hood has different shape, and latter picture does not look like cab is blended into the body...can't tell for sure.
That sure is a cool truck.

It sure would make a neat little camper, and fix up the outside all Military! If possible, offer them scrap price for it. Who knows, you might have just found a diamond in the rough for cheap (depending on the condition of everything the pic doesn't show). If you can, we'd like to see pics of the inside and any other parts of the truck you can get pics of. That's just a cool old truck there! Thanks for the pic.

Is it a 4x4? It would make for a good camper.

I like it and I need another project (like I need a hole in the head).
Of course it is out in BF ID.

From what I read the truck from Jeepers Creepers was a homemade blend. Let me see if I can find the info again.

Follow this link to see what it should look like. The restored truck is owned by a Canadian member of the Western Command club.
