Hey,it worked.As you can see the dodge is a 1942 model,it has the low sided seats wich is incorrect.But I like them.The cckw is a 1943,delivered to the US army in may 43.And there is a tag on the passenger side of the dash wich states that it has been rebuildt at a daimler(mercedes) plant in germany 1949.So it has lost its original bed.It came to Norway about 1952,and was in service until sold by the government in 1994.That is fiftyone years of serving in the military! I am slowly but steadily restoring these two,and I must say just walking out the door looking at them brings me joy.

Hello from sunny Norway,just trying to post pictures for the first time.If it works you will see that my vehichles arent pretty,but they are functional! And I am working on them.

Thanks for the warm welcome.I was just out and snapped a few pictures,now all I have to do is find out how to post them.And sorry about the sensory overload my information gave you 6x6,but just say the word and I will be on the look out for something for you(but mine is about the cheapest I have heard of).The story was that the farmer had inherited the lorry,and had hauled it back to the farm.And just gave up when he failed to get it started.So there was no brakes,no clutch.The distributer was simply mounted wrong!Clutch was just hanging after two-three years of standing,and the brakes needed a check up.Actually many of the answers came via other forums,thank heavens for the internet.And by the way,I dont mind beeing called Bjorn:).

Hello all,my name is Bjørn.I have been lurking about on this forum for a while.And as you all seem to have such a good time I would like to join in.I live in the south of Norway and have owned my dodge WC52,three years now.And it just gets better and better to drive(specially since I got my doors this christmas).Last winter I came across a cckw in a field,and ofcourse I had to rescue it(I got it for 300 pounds,so how could I afford not to?).And I love it so does the kids and even the dog,its just the neighbors and my wife that hates my hobby.I can live with that.My son and I are planning to go to Normandy via England this year.We will be taking the ferry to Harwich may/june,so if anyone is going south to portsmouth it would be fun to make a convoy. With regards, Bjørn
