Hello Miloslav

A new US WW2 softskin project ? That's good news ! AFAIK, the Model 666 truck and its variants was not made by Corbitt, but by White, Brockway, Ward LaFrance and FWD. Corbitt's model was called Model 50SD6...
Maybe you should try to find a copy of TM 9-813: Operators manual, 6-ton, 6x6 Truck (White, Corbitt, and Brockway), 287 pages, 19 February 1944.

Good luck with your new project !

PS : I hope that your M-5H-6 project is progressing too !

Easy1Productions has a CD on the 6-ton Corbitt, White, Brockway trucks tech manual.

http://www.easy1productions.com/

I'd say this is essential (I'm using it for my PSP 666 Corbitt build)

What about this one :
ORD 8 SNL G-514, Supply Manual, Group G Field and depot maintenance allowances fot truck, 6-Ton, 6 x 6: Prime Mover, w/Winch (White, Model 666) - Cargo (White, Model 666) - Tractor (White, Model 666) -1952.

It's a 300 page document, but I don't know if it includes much pics
Talking about pics, here's a scanned period one showing two White 666 tractors in Korea (the hair is a perid one as well )
