What is a Chevy 4400?
I found this on CL nearby but have never seen one. Any ideas what year or what it was used for? Still runs. Is it of any value? Looks cool for maybe a shop truck or convert to a small camper.

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
That would make a awesome shop truck but the 4400 is most likely going to mean heavy duty chassis under it. Almost has the feel of an old armored truck style body on it.

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
the fenders look like a 47-54 truck because of the headlights but the grill looks early like 39.....probably a heavy duty around 47 or 48. looks pretty cool to me

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
Looks much more like an International to me.....but that "hi zoot" brush guard makes it difficult

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
It's a K or KB series International with a delivery body...maybe an old Railway Express truck, or Post Office truck.......

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
International all right but what is with the strange wheels and tires? Are they hard rubber or pumped up? Could it be an old armored car with bullet proof tires?

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
Hi ,
This is a International KB 1941 to 1949. KB Series The KB series added wings on the sides of the grill, a wrap-around chrome piece on the front hood, a hood ornament and chrome lettering indicating the model designation below the International nameplate on each side of the hood. IH 4400 Delivery Van |

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
He's got another truck listed with it that is a Chevy 4400. Here's the front view. Lots of good info on the HAMB. I'm going to try and look at it in person.

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
Bitchin Binder, it certainly does look ultra heavy duty, but cool! Speaking of cool shop trucks, I am so smitten with the Acme Speed Shop metro, looking at it again in the L.S.R.U. threads inforces its awesome coolness, sorry just had to say it. ~sololobo~

Re: What is a Chevy 4400?
That is a pre '50 International KB series delivery van. They were rated at (Single rear wheels) 4,000 Gross cargo Load and with duals the GCL was 5,200 Lbs. All had IH OHV inline sixes. They were strong. Western Parcel Delivery in Southern California operated a bunch of these. We had some KB-70's for fire engine work. Those were tough trucks!
