I would highly advise not fiberglassing the hull it will just trap moisture and rust more. All repairs should be cut out and butt welded in my eyes. I also have Some parts avaliable if you need anything. If you need any advice or have any questions please feel free to contact me. Ryan

Hi Quarkz Congratulations on your DUKW purchase. Which Dukw did you end up getting and where was it located? I purchased a copy of the manuals on ebay for I think it was $7.00 on cd. I also have the original manuals to. Ryan

I have gone thru two nos rebuild kits already and the only bad part in them is the rubber cups. This suprises the heck out of me because everything else rubber from that era is great, I am even running 60 year old tubes in my tires because the new ones are junk. Ryan

this is the hydrovac out of my dukw not the cckw. It is definitly a second series. It has two of the big cup seals and one small. Thanks for the help. Ryan

The parts I'm looking for look like a rubber wheel cylinder cup except for they have a hole in the middle. They are 1/2" od. and 1 1/16" od both with holes in them. The brake guy I use could not find any replacements for them. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks Ryan

The DUKW hydrovac is the second series tandem piston. Ryan

Paul Is there any chance you have any leads on the rubber parts for the original hydrovacs? I sent my DUKW one out to be rebuilt and the nos parts are all rotten for the cups and there seems to be no replacements out there. Thanks Ryan

Yeah I saw the vent but luckily I have a tube in inventory and someone put steel wool in the fitting. As far as the brakes go they work great and are all original. The early trucks had the hydrovac fittings at the back of the intake manifold as far as I can tell. Ryan

Here is one photo of inside and the engine. I have collected the original air filter, oil fill / breather and oil filter for the engine already. Ryan

Hi All Thanks for the comments on the truck. I will try to get some interior and engine shots this week. As far as the name goes I really don't know the history of it or if it dates back to WWII or not. At the moment I am just trying to remove as much of the junk people have put on her over...

I just picked up a new toy so the DUKW had some company it's same age. It is a 1942 cckw-352. I am looking for a original front bumper and seats if anyone knows of any. Ryan
