Thanks will keep that in mind. Is there a better forum to post and get help with? Currently the dukw is in hibernation due to snow...

DO you know where I can get a good wiring diagram of the dukw and the regulator and stuff like that?

Im working on my 44' dukw, and hooking everything up, after dropping the engine in. It is all hooked up now, but when I go to start it the ignition wire, the one that goes from the switch on the dash, starts smoking. Im wondering if it is postive ground. Or if anyone could help me understand why...

Yep, that is right, thanks to red bringing his crane over, we have now successfully dropped the engine down into the hull of the DUKW. Now we just need to bolt it all down, and hook all the linkage up, and then we will be set to go.

Well on Tuesday, we towed the DUKW home using our 1991 M923 5 ton. WE went about 8 miles an hour on average and it took an hour to get home. We went so slow because the DUKW didn't have hardly any brakes and we didn't have time to get them to work. Overall, it was a very good recovery. It now...

good Idea, I dont have a tow bar so we will be using a heavy duty tow strap. more flexible and safer than a chain.

Yeah, we looked up the sn, its is definitely a 44. and the hood underneath has marine green.

Yeah thank you all for having interest. We are way excited to have it, I cant quite say when we will do the engine swap on it, but it will be quite an experience, and it is a big draw vehicle. Thanks.

Well went out to do some work on it today to try and get it to start to drive home, but come to find out the engine is more than likely seized. Luckily with the purchase came another DUKW engine. So now we get to do an engine swap.

Thanks, now we have two amphibious vehicles DUKW, and Gama Goat.

My buddy found some research and told me that they did produce a few hundred dukws in 1941, and then in 1942 they went into full blown production, but if that is the correct sn, then the numbers shouldn't lie, I will get better pics of the plates and post them up.

Thanks we are pretty proud of it, and in my home town too!!! So no major transporting. We changed one of the tires on it, because it has say like this for 20+ years, and so we switched it for the pare and on Friday we are going to go and see if we can get it running easily, if not we are gonna...

So we just bought a DUKW. It is delivery date 11-41. It is in really good conditions and we got it for a good price. Looking for any more info on it, this is our first big WWII vehicle. It will be participating in all of Freedom Vehicles association's (freedomvehilces.org) events and such. Any...
