6. Not too late !
Many of the more than 500,000 built CCKW's have been saved and find
themselves in the good hands of collectors. In The Netherlands several owners are member of
Keep them Rolling,
an association directed to the conservation of WOII vehicles. To give you an
impression of what a restored CCWK should look and sound like, Johan Edelhausen (www.ww2vehiclesvideos.nl)
supplied me with a clip. Enjoy the real GMC CCKW:
start clip.
I started as well with such an army truck, a GMC
CCKW 352 A2, see pictures above. However, after 11 years I
purchased a GMC CCKW 353 B2 forest fire fighter from France, see picture below.
