abn deuce

a very smart looking pair !

That is an engine you could eat off of ;-) . I m sure it will fetch a very dear price when its sold

Without the internet and people wanting to share information How much poorer would we all be . Some amazing stories of survival , unless they are shared events and people will go unknown .

interesting looking beasty wonder how it rides ? with only tires for suspension must hop a bit on rough ground , any idea on its speed? 10 - 15 mph perhaps ? could use a roll cage just in case .

Welcome to the Group , nice to know another CCKW has been saved.

while its not my earliest memory I m sure it will be these kids and those watching the parade http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff35/abndeuce/friendsmvs012.jpg[/img]

found a few pic's of a friend WC with Norwegian doors,pardon quality of photo's http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff35/abndeuce/friendsmvs002.jpg[/img] http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff35/abndeuce/friendsmvs001.jpg[/img] http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff35/abndeuce/friendsmvs.jpg[/img]

the other reason might be to equal the weight of what was removed so when the hulks were used for recovery practice they would act like real vehicles would ???

And thats just the visably wounded , the latest group from this newest conflict are traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder just as disabling but not nearly as understood by either the Military or Medical services.

I think they did a fantastic Job bring it back from almost a complete wreck and the word is "almost" to a very complete operational HMV .They had a few miss steps but then who doesn't . they learned a lot .

Being resourceful , having a need and finding a solution something soldiers are good at . Great photo never seen another like it . Wonder how many others are still unpublished in old scrap books kept by Veterans . Speaking of that I will look for some I was given .

The fitting for pulling with horses while at first glance is a good idea , I m afraid he will need a number more horses than he currently has in order to be able to infact draw either vehicle, so the heck with that horse power and chuck the worries to the wind start up that beautiful mechanical horse power and get on down the lane with it .

It was quite common when I would go to a parade, for spectators to ask what I / our group thought of the current operations thinking we were active service personal , Many couldn't understand that civilians could/would purchase and own military vehicles ...they barely handle that part let alone that what they were seeing were restored historical Former military vehicles . I met up with an gentleman down at the Aberdeen proving grounds in Maryland who was displaying his restored MB or Ford Jeep 194? Cant recall exactly that while he was standing by his vehicle in period uniform a woman approached with an infant and proceeded to lay the child on the hood of his Jeep and change its dieper all the while he's trying to explain that this is HIS Jeep to which she replied of course it is and He saying again this is My personal Jeep ....she didn't get it and finished up and left still clueless

ah what you lot never heard of a two for one sale ? hes been holding out on Us hasn't he!

At least you were going home and not out somewhere else .......where it might be difficult to explain about puddles in canvas and stopping and such a poor design ..... or do most WC drivers routinely carry spare trousers in plastic bags for just such occasions in wet weather?

Thats a relief , had visions of something terrible had gone and that I might be finding myself in the same position someday .

CCKW.org is back and working with a new server no more cookie problems , they were able to transfer almost all the old data

What was the outcome of the mystery knocking noise???? I dont think I ever saw another posting about it ?

That has to be a bit of a shock!!! Like where did all that ice cold water just come from ?

I d guess your doing all the right things , staying warm not moving about too much drinking plenty of liquids and I don't mean alcoholic beverages while you might feel better it wont last an only dehydrates you more , have a bit of Fruit juice , again not the stuff thats comes marked red , white, or other colors in fancy french script. A good time to do a bit of reading or watch a dvd or two . Hope your feeling better soon

i didnt see these details there, cast iron block and head .displacement 230 cubic inches bore and stroke 3.25x4.625 compression ratio 6.7:1 brake horsepower 92 at 3200 rpm four main bearings. mechanical valve lifters carburetor zenith model 29. top speed 54 mph fuel cap.30 gallons US. range 240 miles same engine specs for WC51 -52-56-57-53

AAhhh I see , it has to articulate . Thanks

the only basic difference is that the WC52 has a winch so the steering may be a bit harder at manovering speeds while parking details are WC51 weight 5645 gross weight 7445 produced 123,541 WC52 weight 5940 gross weight 7740 produced 59,124 < 5000lbs braden winch>

A very clear Video , the ground really moves around and fast ! Like he said the pilots got lots of air time and training while he had 15 minutes!

I see you meant that you sewed the front tarp on to the rear tarp I thought only a rib/flap of canvas had been added to the rear tarp . You have a good point as to the tensioning. I m sure the Dodge owners will be very interested in the weather proofing improvements you have to offer them now .
