CCKW and Ben-Hur combo

Post by Hammerhead » Wed Oct 26, 2022 6:37 am

I finally got around to putting the markings on my Ben-Hur trailer. I was anxious to hook it up to the CCKW! Been a long time!

BTW, the markings are from stencils made by our own "Thunderbird712" here on the "G"! I told him what I wanted, sizes, etc and he was very easy to work with! I recommend TJ for any stencils you need!

Thanks for the kind words! It IS really fun to drive the CCKW! The first weekend in October this year there was a Living History event around 45 miles from my home. So round trip I drove the truck 99 miles! It did great, burning down the highway at 45 mph! It is a pleasure to drive and you can really see the countryside so much better than at 70-75 MPH!
