I know its a slightly annoraky thing to do :nut:, but I've created a photo Blog to archive the CCKWs I've photographed. Link In doing so I've spotted that two different trucks have chosen to use the same serial number LOL.

Sweet ! Post some photos please when you get chance

Did u buy it ? Or did someone else ?

A few questions/points to check: 1. What are the brake hoses and brake pipes like ? 2. What about the exhaust ? 3. Does the exhaust blow from the manifold at all ? 4. What's the floor of the cab like ? 5. Is there any play in the steering ? 6. What's the oil pressure when cold and then hot ? 7. How old is the battery ? What condition is it in ? Regards Vulture

Currently using AVG myself. Only had bad experinces McCafree and Norton would not touch them again if you paid me to,

Apologies for the confusion over the date, I have corrected the original pos :embarrassed:t. No idea what was going on there, a massive scew up on the cutting and posting front I think ! :nut::nut::nut::nut::nut: The date for the run is Sun 16th Sep 2012. Kind regards to all

Our Area is planning a road-run on Sunday 16th Sep 2012 from near Kings Ripton to the Ramsey Militia Camp in Cambridgeshire. If anyone wants to come along, drop me a PM. Fingers crossed for good weather !

Guys a quick update on this saga, still heard nothing from the company, so contacted the Barclaycard disputes department last night, and they are sending me a form to complete. In the meantime they are refunding me the monies involved.

I like the phrase 'occasionally leaking' :rotfl:

I am getting really hacked off with this company called Combat Service Support. I ordered some gear from them back on 6 Jun. They took a good 6 weeks to deliver the order, and then half of it was incorrect ! > No one answers the phone when you call, and thus far they are ignoring my E-Mails.:mailforyou: :mad::mad: Most unimpressed. > If I don't get a response to my latest E-Mail by Wed I'm going contact my Credit Card Company and get my monies refunded. :angry Has anyone else had problems with them ? Kind regards to all Vulture

This is one great looking and sounding vehicle

Here's a photo I took in 2009

Really really great news

Could not agree with you more.

V interesting. Thanks for posting

Sorry to flat out disagree, but a 'reasonable' condition GMC with an okay canvas and say half-worn tyres in the UK is going to command a better price than £ 3,500 it just is. If you see any reasonable ones advertised for £ 3k, let me know, I'll go and buy another to sell on for a quick profit to help pay down the loan I've got on mine

That is awful news, makes my blood boil :mad:. The people concerned need a good beating IMHO. If it has been taken abroad then there will in all likelihood be CCTV footage of it at the ports or Tunnel. Suggest write to the vehicle mags and MVT, the more publicity about this the better.

No doubt that is one tasty looking Halftrack :-)

Wow ! I'm amazed at the twists required on that pipe ! You've done a good job there.

The August edition of Classic Military Vehicle (CMV) has the following 'asking' prices against GMCs in the UK and local European countries: Low £ 3,850 Average: £ 11,170 High: £ 14,500 To quote from the mag "The figures given are not valuations and not reflect condition - they have been derived from the asking price for vehicles recently advertised in CMV and on MILWEB. This is price they were advertised at, and no guarantee it was sold at this price... or that it sold at all." The figure above can fluctuate quite sharply from month to month, but if you look back over the last 12 months, the average of the 'average' asking price has been £ 7,793, and over the last 6 months £ 7,939.

Yes well said Ray

Great looking truck Ray Very nice. I'd be happy to park that long term on my drive as well

If you are tracked at W&P you have no problem getting around... :cool2: [video=youtube_share;i5-k93xxvmU] - - - - - - - -

I tend to agree with Ray. The value of CCKWs has been going up in terms of what people are prepared to pay, although there are some bargains to be had. If the tyres are good (and I mean just more than legal) and the canvas is good as well then he should be able to get more than £5,000 if he hangs on.

I can't find my vehicle programme. Can anyone shed any light on the designation of this truck. I'm pretty sure it was a Zil, but beyond that... :nut: Many thanks Vulture
