Hey guys, thought I'd start a thread for one of my new projects. It's a 1942 CCW 6X4 k50 or k53 (not sure yet) anybody else have a CCW? I know that they are fairly rare. I'll post some pics when I pick up the truck tomorrow.

Me I do. 6X4 CCWs were cargo trucks only, are you saying you have the K-53 radio van on the back of yours?

Well someone built that, not saying that is a bad thing, just understand CCWs were cargo trucks built especially for line haul on the Red Ball Express.

Damn that is nice. Google “K-60C signal corps” and it comes back as “van multi purpose”. As you can see the data plate lists the chassis as CCKW-353, not CCW-353. Did you buy the Studebaker in the background as well?

The studebaker is a 6X4 with a decent body but the frame was stretched and won't fit on my trailer so I didn't buy it. I got the CCW and box home, I'll probably start restoration on the box soon but the CCW project is several years out. 20241002_131131.jpg20241002_131103.jpg

How heavy is the box? The M109 shop van boxes are stupid heavy. That one looks reasonable.

Here's some more pics of the CCW. The engine is stuck but overall it seems to be in decent condition all things considered. NDT, I am unsure of the k60 weight but I'd guess a little over 3000lbs.20241003_152208.jpg20241003_152250.jpg20241003_152716.jpg

Very nice condition. Mine was orange when I got it. Looks like you got a Saturday with a putty knife ahead of you to remove all the yuck from the frame.
