"Paramount P3000 6x6 truck were based on the military M series 5 ton chassis originally built by Mack, Diamond T, International, Kaiser Jeep, and AM General. There were also a few other military truck rebuilders such as Zeligson and Klein"

 3 stars. It's also part of the convoy and is used to hose down trees and other vehicles if something aflame falls on them.

 MIS-ID

after seeing more footage on YT this ain't Paramount P3000 cos AFAIK that is based don 5 ton G744

this truck however looks like 2.5 ton G742 based a good clue how close the front axle is driver and generally smaller size

since no idea who did this refurbishment/ conversion as that front hood was used by others too (like Wittenberg https://www.flickr.com/photos/carhaul/50329385878 )

I suggest we list it as Reo M-45 chassis G742

looks standard lengh chassis with double rear wheels
"M44, M45, and M46 simply designated the long single tandem, long double tandem, and extra long double tandem chassis for the M35 2+1⁄2-ton series of trucks"


there were a few of this small companies who bought ex military trucks and di some refurbishment including adding this front hood

 and discovered another way to tell G742 and G744 apart

G742 had 6 wheel nuts, G744 10 nuts

our truck clearly has 6 nuts
