The CCKW on ebay looks to have the wrong bed, It looks like it has the all steel welded bed but with the stamped hooks it may be one of the post war rebuild beds made in Germany.
Love to see you all at Tower Park. Are you and Keith the ones that set up on the back row last year? It is good to see people that use their MVs. It would be nice to see restored WW2 Japanese trucks most Japanese in the hobby restore American iron.
The pics that Schwenk Industries put on the thread look like a nice mid war truck but the bed is a early war bed look at the cast hooks and rear tail gate. A good one for your 41 G506
The true work horses of the ALCAN highway the 1 1/2 ton chevy and the Stude US6 . The M35 M211/135 have air for trailer brakes the CCKW does not, Very important if you tow. Read your tm's always keep one in your truck. You need not atack someone for not having alot of posts.
They are BII for M577's to run the gen set away from the track because of the noise. Lots on surplus now because the M1068 has a new gen set that runs on JP8 with a lot less noise.
It looks like someone cut four or five feet off the back US6's are 6x6 or 6x4 not 4x4 and the dump looks postwar. The front frame looks odd also? How is the JXD will it turn over? $900 is to high for a parts truck, $300 to $500 may be.
Deuceman51 we have three m75's in are club here in Idaho. One is forsale and a m41 eng in a can is also forsale different members but Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com can get you in touch with the sellers and I think he has a line on cheap ones in WA state.
