mullvane Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi all, I don't suppose anyone on here would know what the bonnet serial number would be for a Airportable CCKW tipper? Any information/pictures would be greatly appreciated Regards Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pearson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi jack Do you have anymore information eg date or chasis number or just after a generic number ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpu121265 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Any idea of year of manufacture, or contract would be a big help. Does it have a winch? Was it always a tipper? A quick look at 'the book' suggests the following possible ranges:- 428589 (a single cckwx 353 dump 1941), 4139626 - 4140925 (353 dump 1942), 4484953 - 4500783 (352 dump with winch 1942), 47327303 - 4736910 (353 dump with winch 1944). The book only goes up to 1944 so any later production is not listed. Regards Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it does have a winch and has always been a tipper. Thanks for taking the time to dig out that information, it was much appreciated Regards Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 If you go to the CCKW forum you will find the information regarding date of your vehicle if you look at the article by Bryce Sunderland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopnut Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Check out Wheels & Tracks, No 22, interesting artical on CCKW airborne trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadline Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I wouldn't think you will find many 42 models converted to air portable versions. The design went into production in early 44, so you would have registration numbers in the 260000+ range at the earliest... more likely 300,000-400,000. There are a few pics of air portables on the internet (original signal corps dated) so look at those and pick one a few 1000 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
