Hi
My name is Erik and I live in Sweden
I'm in the processes (99,9%) of purchasing a 1941 CCKWX 353 Short wheelbase![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm kind of new to the CCKW trucks but I have owned a M35A2 and a Willys M38A2 before so I'm not totally new to this hobby.
But the problem is that the truck is 348miles (560Km) away in Norway and its not possible for me to have it transported home to Stockholm, so we have a mighty road trip ahead of us.
Its in good drivable condition with recently overhauled brakes and over all in great shape.
I plan to change out all oils and the oil filter before I begin my journey home just to bee sure it has the right type oil and Zink additives.
I know that you guys have an outstanding level of experience and knowledge and I would like to ask you for some advice.
1 Is it even possible?
2 Good to have spare parts?
3 Any known weaknesses?
4 How do the fuel pump handle the modern fuels with pre mixed ethanol ( I will be using Petrol Lead Substitute Fuel Additive in the fuel)
5 What highway speed do you recommend 35-37mph?
6 And some other general advice
7 Any other thoughts?
Here is some pictures of my new truck.
