It is hard to believe these vehicles are getting that old from the photos they look as better than they came from the factories here. And I am glad to seeing people like you to taking that time to reflect on this. I find that important to never forget history here. So congrats to this amazing CCKW and it history and it's owner here! Take care and many blessings to you...

Found a pic taken when it was delivered to me in late 1983. Will get it posted in a few days.

Love that 40's-50's GMC 270 sound!
We are entering a new era, there are fewer veterans that can identify with these WWII trucks.

Thank you.
An MB or M-38A1 ride will help.
