Studebaker US6
2 ½-ton 6x6 & 6x4 Trucks
In the U.S. Army Studebaker US6 and US6x4 models saw only very limited use with the Corps of Engineer regiments assigned to the construction of the Alcan (Alaska) Highway. Lend-Lease shipments of the US6 series came to about 90% of the production run, with by far the most being shipped to the Soviet Union. The second largest recipient of US6 vehicles was Great Britain which forwarded a number of its share to Czech and Polish units.
