This is an INTERESTING G-802 book:
The DUKW Its Operation and Uses 1944
Another one (Dutch?)
DUKW-Amfibie test : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive
Portrayal Press - Military Vehicle Manual Listings
Operation and maintenance. 534 pages. High quality reprint. #TM9-802...
The blue Hydrovac book only goes so far. Its on the list to scan and OCR.. but since most of the info is in the TM9-1827B (save for some civvy specific info) its not a priority..
I actually lucked out and got a first print, and a second print with corrections and an addendum for the blue...
Opps, sorry, I though we were talking about the new truck :oops:
You might luck out and find a rebuild kit for a T17 Armored car, they have the Second series vacs in them.
I'm trying to get a list of all the MVs taht would have used the Bendix Second Series vacs that the CCKW would use...
I think its the PN I listed above GM-2156874. I might be wrong about being pressed in metal. The second series uses two, one on each side of the piston. The first series only uses one. Are you sure you have a Second Series, and not a First Series with dual pistons?
CCKW/CCKWX chassis number...
The 44 SNL only shows the mid mount for CCKWs. CCKWX's are shown with the rear intake mount. I know they were back there.. but have no idea on by what chassis number... 41 or early 42 I would guess.
Rex Ward is your best hope.
Second Series vacs? I have ONE kit left and it ain't going anywhere. There is really only two major seals.. the leather piston seals, not hard to get them... lots of places still sell leather seals. The other is the relay valve.. but they are simple...
I'd pay close attention to the motor as the PVC nipple on the top of the valve cover is missing. If its been run like that there is a chance that debris could have been sucked in there and in the intake manifold where the other end should have connected. It also looks like you are missing the...
Sorry but not even close.

The Oxford English Dictionary lists Yank, the Army Weekly magazine (1944, 7 Jan. p. 8) as its earliest citation: "The FUBAR Squadron...FUBAR? It means "' ****ed Up Beyond All Recognition.'"
In the 1944 U.S. Army animated short The Three Brothers (directed by...
Hmm.. if its a 'Jimmy'.. and *everyone* knows it.... there should be something written to back that up. I've posted this on several MV only sites (and a few 'commercial only vehicles' and nothing.
Hence my search for the background.
Why so confrontational?
Can you provide *any* reference of a CCKW being called that? Its NOT a 'deuce' nor a 'Jimmy'. GM produces DOZENS of vehicles for the serivce... is a Chevy G506 a 'Jimmy'? It was made by Chevrolet, a Division of GM. Yellow Coach and Cab was a division of GMC, part of GM. It wasn't till late...
That looks like a G506 (Chevy) bed. If you have door mounted mirrors you should have civvy guages also.
If you post the frame SN that would help.
Few minor issues also... you seem to have 9x20s (M35) tires? Your drivers side engine panel is off a Chevy, also.
Engine shot would be cool.
