It happens every few years, if the Jet Stream changes our we get a change in the ocean currents we can get “warm” winter conversely if we get an exceptionally cold fall and the ocean freezes early we can have a low snow year as well . the last few years we have broke records for snowfall ...

My Newly Aquired M818

Ok so I just measured my M35a2 doors and they are not the same size , the guy that gave me the doors I put on the M43 said they were from a M35 but he must have been wrong they are M37 doors or maybe GMC doors?

Thanks! it is very solid, but like the CCKW its not a great candidate for a "correct" restoration so it will get some modern touches to make it more usable but still try to make it stock apperaing as much as possible

Treadlite I had to drag it home no motor or trans , rangerbob Im not sure how active they are anymore I sent an email to them a year or so ago with no response.

Closed cab CCKW's are a little more rare from what I have found, being that there shipping height was taller because of the full cab . if I had to guess Id say this truck most likely never seen any combat but there is a good chance it helped build the Alcan Highway or transported goods on it .
