Don't forget to look after those trunnion bearings and torque rods... esp with all the movement the rear bogey is seeing. I have yet to see a CCKW with the mod for greasing them (the trunnion bearings).

If you paint it OD and put the National Emblem on it (as 99.9999% of the European returns are) then you should put it back to GI service. I consider it lazy, and a sign of disrespect to put the Army colors and markings on a truck that is still 99% European configuration. My truck will be as...

I meant that ORIGINALLY it may have come with a composite bed. The switch back to all steel beds was late war. Wood bed ended on Jan of 44, composite bed entered production to be replaced by bolt together (as opposed to the original welded) all steel beds. I don't have the date handy.. but...

I really like the look of the closed cabs... kinda regret not getting one but the open cab has less hassles. You are missing a letter after the dash. It should be either B, E, or H. Those are the variants that came with a winch from the factory. Its also cool that you have a bed data...

Pick up a copy of "GMC A UNIVERSAL TRUCK" While lite on specifics, it has tons of post war pics (french, swiss, dutch, Israli) and the mods they did to them. The book is not really good for detailed info, and I don't recall any interior shots.. but a good reference as most, if not all the...

Thats a nice 353. I like the look of the closed cabs... they have that passenger truck look to them. A 43 would have a wooden cargo bed (wooden cargo beds were in production since 1 Sept 1942) and also a wooden steering wheel. But I agree both are hard to find in good condition. I noticed...
