I have ten new 7.50x20 NDT tires to go on the old girl after im done with the paint over spray....... those are the tires that came with the truck out of the field i found her in:). Deadline has a good point about nos rubber lines,mine were made new to US D.O.T. spec's! Good luck with the project Vulture, hope she turns out in tip top shape when your done. Brad

Im currently replumbing my entire brake system and all braking components because you are only as good as the weakest link, wouldnt want anyone else to find out the hard way. I ordered my hose set from Argentina seem to be correct compared to the old set and built like they knew what they were doing... heres some pictures of my progress Cheers Brad

Hows the Proofs coming along Paul? Im in the process of tearing down my cckw and rebuilding my engine. Brad

I was able to have a reporduction made of my rusted out chart holder mounted to the back of my CCKW 353 A1 Cab. Nothing to special but it made my day to see it....just wanted to share Cheers

germans utillized captured equipment often during WWII. In the early days the T-34/KV-1 series was a formitable foe to come across for german units fielding early equipment. Many were used to counter soviet armour.

Looks great!:cheesy:

Good hunting:)

I think the Boat yard that put the winch on the Back of the CCKW swaped it around some how? Theres no mistaking it for anything else thats for sure. It works well Ive used it to pull stuff for fun..the previous owner cabled the front tow hooks to a tree and tried to pull something with the winch and ripped the truck frame clean off to the front spring shackles:shocked: bumper and all?

I have a garwood Winch, Been told it is a 20ton but dont know for sure? Ihave the numbers off it and was wandering if i could get some help from the Wrecker world? Garwood Detroit 12y4524 Model 5M723-B-B SER# A-244651 Any help appreciated regaurds, Brad

Here's a small glympse of my trucks redemption!

heres a small glimps of my trucks new redemption!

I have some pictures of my truck, I just did a complete brake restore and painted all backing plates and drums the hubs and drums were blue.. It does appear to have been repainted Drab Green Again MY trucks SN numbers said she was delivered as a bedless chassis to the Army It has the fuel tank mounting holes of the long narrow tank like a shop van or compressor truck? What do you fellas think? Brad

Definitley!

I used the 3 ton floor jack method and blocked my entire truck up for my brake restore. seemed to be good I put 1 1/8" concrete form pannels under each block point and jacking surfaces though helped plenty!

I think it was repainted for post war use by Airforce...oops

My truck has the blue as well and upon investigating i was informed that the first coat on later trucks was Blue wich exsplains why its there before the od? I have talked with people state side on forums here,maybe i could find the thread and post it? I love a good mystery:cool2:

Most pictures ive seen of out of the box crate engines and such do support a semi-gloss black for the add-ons.

color?

Look at that Belt and suspenders to! nice truck, I hope to have a remanufactured truck sooner than later.... And the half track is still in the woods where the owner wants it to stay?!!...:shocked:

Yes I do, GMC's are my hobbie but i love reading up on most WWII AFV's, Trucks and War Birds
