WWII US Army Kitchen Truck
To provide food for the American army, so-called “Kitchen Trucks” were used. They were used to
transport kitchen equipment and some supplies and for the preparation of hot meals during unit
marches. These trucks had extended arches for canvas covers on the body, so that cooks could stand
upright while working. Wooden bench seats for personnel, which were located inside the body of army
trucks, could be placed on the outside of the “Kitchen Trucks” for placing pots, pans, and other
kitchen equipment. The equipment of such kitchens varied, but one of the essential components
was the M-1937 field stove, which operated on liquid fuel. Each M-1937 stove came with a set of
pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. The stoves were placed either along the side walls of the
bodies or near the cab. Various types of trucks were used as platforms for mobile kitchens, including
the Chevrolet G506 modifications G7107 or G7117.
