Chevrolet Loadmaster 6400
1949
Memorial Engine Co
Found this vehicle on the forecourt of a Vehicle Restoration company near Norwich.
Obviously in need of some TLC.
I researched the type and the only picture i could find on flickr was this one:
www.flickr.com/photos/apjones/50046921302/in/faves-322223...
So it turns out that this is the same vehicle!
It caught my interest and I discovered that American Fire Departments paint vehicles as "Memorial Engine Co" in memory of fallen firefighters that were attached to it.
So this Fire Engine has a story to tell, not only the men remembered by it but its journey to Norfolk, UK.
That story eludes me right now, perhaps we will as the restoration company........
Bowies is one of the many private haulers working in Washington D.C. This Loadmaster was collecting manual recycling in a group of town homes.
With the 'Loadmaster' waving his huge florescent hand from his perch on the rear ramp, the 2015 Royal Air Force 'Chinook' display team show off their incredibly agile charge with a sideways run along the crowd-line during last year's RNAS Yeovilton 'Air Day'.

Chevrolet Advance Design Series
Chevrolet's first major redesign post-World War II, the Advance-Design series was billed as a bigger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the aging Advance-Design model.
The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express and cab overs. The cab overs used the same basic cab configuration and similar grille but used a shorter and taller hood and different fenders. The unique Cab Over fenders and hood required a custom cowl area which makes the Cab Over Engine cabs and normal truck cabs incompatible with one another while all truck cabs of all weights interchange.
From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations.
While General Motors used this front end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the Cab Overs, there are three main sizes of this truck: the half-, three-quarter-, and full ton capacities in short and long wheelbase.
1947 - Gasoline tank filler neck on passenger side of bed. No vent windows in doors. Hood side emblems read "Chevrolet" with "Thriftmaster" or "Loadmaster" under it. Serial numbers: EP ½ ton, ER ¾ ton, & ES 1 ton. Radios were first available in Chevrolet trucks as an "in dash" option on the "Advance-Design" body style.
1948 - Manual transmission shifter now mounted on column instead of floor. Serial numbers codes: FP ½ ton, FR ¾ ton, & FS 1 ton.
Early 1949 - Gasoline tank now mounted upright behind seat in cab; filler neck aft of passenger door handle. New serial number codes: GP ½ ton, GR ¾ ton, & GS 1 ton.
Late 1949 - Hood side emblems no longer read "Thriftmaster" or "Loadmaster", but are now numbers that designate cargo capacity: 3100 on ½ ton, 3600 on ¾ ton, 3800 on 1 ton. Serial number codes remain the same as on early 1949.
1950 - Telescopic shock absorbers replace lever-action type. Last year for driver's side cowl vent, its handle is now flat steel, not maroon knob as in previous years. New serial number codes: HP ½ ton, HR ¾ ton, & HS 1 ton.
1951 - Doors now have vent windows. Mid-year change from 9-board bed to 8 boards per bed. Last year for 80 MPH speedometer, chrome window handle knobs, and chrome wiper knob. New serial number codes: JP ½ ton, JR ¾ ton, & JS 1 ton.
1952 - Outer door handles are now push button type as opposed to the previous turn down style. Speedometer now reads to 90 mph and dashboard trim is painted instead of chrome. Mid-year, Chevrolet stops using the 3100-6400 designation on the hood and changes to maroon window and wiper knobs. New serial number codes: KP ½ ton, KR ¾ ton, & KS 1 ton.
1953 - Last year for the 216 in³ inline-six. Hood side emblems now only read 3100, 3600, 3800, 4400, or 6400 in large print. Door post ID plate now blue with silver letters (previous models used black with silver letters). Last year to use wooden blocks as bed supports. New serial number codes: H ½ ton, J ¾ ton, & L 1 ton.
1954 - Only year for significant design changes. Windshield now curved one-piece glass without center vertical dividing strip. Revised steering wheel. Revised dashboard. Cargo bed rails, previously angled, now horizontal. Tail lights round instead of rectangular. Grille changed from five horizontal slats to crossbar design commonly referred to as a "bull nose" grille, similar to modern Dodge truck grille. Engine now 235 in³ straight-6. Serial number codes unchanged from 1953. Hydramatic automatic transmission is available for the first time as a paid for option.
1955 First Series - Identical to the 1954 model year, except redesigned hood-side emblems and modern open driveshaft in place of enclosed torque tube. Serial number codes unchanged from 1953 and 1954.
While driving the back roads of the Palouse farm lands in rural Whitman County, Washington, I came across this classic 1947 Chevrolet Loadmaster 1-1/2 ton flatbed truck parked along side of the road. As usual, I couldn't resist the urge to stop and capture a few photographs. Image 140531-3173.

The V-22 Osprey is a joint service multirole combat aircraft utilizing tiltrotor technology to combine the vertical performance of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. With its rotors in vertical position, it can take off, land and hover like a helicopter. Once airborne, it can convert to a turboprop airplane capable of high-speed, high-altitude flight. This combination results in global reach capabilities that allow the V-22 to fill an operational niche unlike any other aircraft. This aircraft has filled the assault support role for the US Marine Corps with the MV-22 since 2007. The US Air Force & the Air Force Special Operations Command has utilized the CV-22 variant since 2009. The US Navy began taking delivery of the CMV-22, featuring long range fuel tanks, in 2020. The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force utilizes a modified MV-22 in humanitarian support, search and recovery, and transport missions. The US Marines also utilize their MV-22s in a presidential support role at HMX-1.

Pictured is a C130J Hercules aircraft from 47 Sqn RAF Brize Norton flying over the water during Exercise Valley Commando at RAF St Athan, South Wales.
The Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules is derived from an earlier model and has been modified and upgraded to include new Allison AE turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers.
The new engines and advanced propellers, coupled with a new digital engine-control system, give the C-130J increased take-off thrust and better fuel efficiency. The aircraft also has a revised flight deck with modern glass-cockpit and head-up displays, allowing two-pilot, flight deck operation. The cockpit of the aircraft is fully night-vision compatible with the use of night-vision goggles.
A separate Air Loadmaster station has been established in the cargo hold. The aircraft has been cleared for wider use in the Tactical Support role.
The defensive-aids suite includes a missile warning system linked to the directional, infra-red countermeasure system, a radar warning receiver and a chaff and flare dispensing system. The defensive system helps protect the aircraft against surface-to-air and air-to-air infra-red seeking weapons that may be encountered during operations.

--Mission--
The C-5M Super Galaxy is a strategic transport aircraft and is the largest aircraft in the Air Force inventory. Its primary mission is to transport cargo and personnel for the Department of Defense. The C-5M is a modernized version of the legacy C-5 designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin. Currently the U.S. Air Force owns and operates 52 C-5B/C/M. They are stationed at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware; Travis AFB, California; Lackland AFB, Texas; and Westover Air Reserve Base, Massachusetts.
--Features--
The C-5M Super Galaxy is equipped with five sets of landing gear, 28 wheels, four General Electric CF6-80C2-L1F (F-138) commercial engines, and a state-of-the-art maintenance diagnostics system. It can carry oversized cargo over intercontinental ranges and can take off and land on relatively short runways. Both the nose and aft doors open, allowing ground crews to simultaneously load and off-load cargo from both ends, reducing cargo transfer times. The full-width drive-on ramps at each end enable double rows of vehicles to be transported.
The maintenance diagnostics system has the ability to record and analyze data from more than 7,000 test points, reducing maintenance and repair time.
The C-5M, with a cargo load of 281,001 pounds, can fly 2,150 nautical miles, offload, and fly to a second base 500 nautical miles away from the original destination — all without aerial refueling. With aerial refueling, the aircraft's range is limited only by crew endurance.
--General Characteristics--
‧ Primary Function: Outsize cargo transport
‧ Prime Contractor: Lockheed Martin-Georgia Co.
‧ Power Plant: Four F-138-GE100 General Electric engines
‧ Thrust: 51,250 pounds per engine
‧ Wingspan: 222 feet 9 inches
‧ Length: 247 feet 10 inches
‧ Height: 65 feet 1 inch
--Cargo Compartment--
‧ Height: 13 feet 6 inches
‧ Width: 19 feet (5.79 meters)
‧ Length: 143 feet, 9 inches
‧ Pallet Positions: 36
‧ Maximum Cargo: 281,001 pounds
‧ Maximum Takeoff Weight: 840,000 pounds
‧ Speed: 518 mph
‧ Unrefueled Range of C-5M: Approximately 5,524 statute miles (4,800 nautical miles) with 120,000 pounds of cargo; approximately 7,000 nautical miles with no cargo on board.
‧ Crew: Pilot, co-pilot, two flight engineers and three loadmasters

Chevrolet Step Van any help with the year ect. appreciated
The Chevrolet Step-Van (and its badge-engineered counterpart, the GMC Value-Van) is a multi-stop truck made by General Motors from 1940 to 1998.
The first generation of General Motors multi-stop delivery van was called the Dubl-Duti, introduced in 1940. The van was built on the 115-inch (2,921 mm) chassis of the Chevrolet pickup truck, with a body built by Divco Twin.
A new generation of Dubl-Duti was introduced for model year 1949, with two different wheelbases shared with the medium-duty Advance Design pickup trucks: the model 3742 with 125+1⁄4-inch (3,181 mm) wheelbase, and 137-inch (3,480 mm) log model 3942 . The Thriftmaster engine was carried over for the 1949 and 1950 model years, and replaced for 1951 by the 235.5-cubic-inch (3.9 L) Loadmaster engine. The Dubl-Duti ceased production in 1955.
In 1955, a new series of Chevrolet forward-control chassis launched, similar to the previous Dubl-Duti, available in three sizes the model 3442 with a 104 inch wheel base, Model 3542 with a 125 inch wheel base and Model 3752 at 137 inches. All models were available only with the Loadmaster six-cylinder engine, which was renamed the Thrift Master Special from 1956. The 265-cubic-inch (4.3 L) Trademaster V8 engine was available as an option in 1956 and 1957. Until 1958, GM only made the rolling forward-control chassis for other coachbuilders such as Boyertown, De Kalb, Dayton T. Brown, Olson, Alf-Herman, Universal, and Montpelier to fit specialized van bodies to. Beginning in 1958, GM began selling its own steel bodies on its forward-control chassis, and called the new vans Step-Van. The bodies were installed by the Union City Body Company, a GM subsidiary based in Union City, Indiana. The first generation Step-Vans became known as the following the introduction of the Square Front in 1964.
A new shortened model called the also known as the Step-van 7 was introduced in 1961o named for its 7-foot (2.1 m) body on a new 102-inch (2,591 mm) wheelbase.

Please do not use this image without first asking for permission. Thank you.
One of the first two Loadmaster Eclipse’s that were delivered a month or two ago, now all lettered up, and ironically already broken.
Apparently this truck has some sort of manufacturing defect and is awaiting Loadmaster engineers to come take a look at it to see how it’s gonna get fixed.
I think it’s safe to say, not a great start to Penn Waste’s Loadmaster endeavor…
Since I have a three day weekend, I decided to upload my not-so-more wip that I was talkin about. Anyone remember that one rainbow loom fad? If so, I got inspired by the rubber bands. As I didn't have a real loadmaster fig to go with the pallet, I just grabbed some random one. Hope you like it.

Penn first demo’d this last year and liked it, which is what got them to buy their 7 LR Eclipse’s.
It’s back in town now as a “loaner” while one of their brand new trucks gets a factory defect repaired.

The Douglas C-124 Globemaster II, nicknamed "Old Shaky", is an American heavy-lift cargo aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California.
The C-124 was the primary heavy-lift transport for United States Air Force (USAF) Military Air Transport Service (MATS) during the 1950s and early 1960s, until the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter entered service. It served in MATS, later Military Airlift Command (MAC), units of the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard until retired in 1974.
