DUKW Drawings
Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2008 3:30 pm
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and in the U.K. A friend & I are about to begin the restoration of a DUKW. I'd bought a GMC 353 Bolster truck as a Donor vehicle (1500 miles from new - EX French reserves - but 10 coats of paint) but it seems such a shame to scrap it that we've decided to recondition the DUKW.
Unfortunately this DUKW has so much rust, it could probably get through a metal detector without setting it off.
The problem we have is the 4 'corners'. They've been chopped around and made good so many times that they don't look anything like original. Does anyone have drawings of these sections that we could copy/buy?
Thanks
Don
