The G7107 was created by Chevrolet as one of the G506 series models. It was an all-wheel drive truck equipped with an 83 hp engine and a load capacity of 1,500 kg. The cars were in the service of the US Army and were delivered in large quantities to allied countries. They were used both in combat units and in the rear. After the war, a large number of cars were concentrated in the warehouses of the military department. Many of them later continued their lives in various enterprises or in private use. Simple and reliable, Chevrolet trucks have been found on the roads of the United States for a long time, and some of them, repaired and refurbished, are still in use today.

For many servicemen forced to live between life and death, turning to higher powers becomes essential. When soldiers and officers need moral support, representatives of spiritual service—military chaplains—are always nearby. During World War II, military clergy served in the armies of many warring countries, including the British armed forces. The British Army Chaplains Department, established in 1796, was renamed the Royal Army Chaplains’ Department (RAChD) in February 1919. During World War II, British military chaplains performed their duties selflessly across all theaters of war. To conduct services in field conditions, the clergy used specially equipped mobile field chapels. One such chapel was based on an American-made G7117 truck. The closed cargo area contained a small field altar with necessary service equipment, and could accommodate a harmonium. These specially equipped trucks of various types served in all combat areas.
