CCKW Fuel tanker (750 US gal) no trailer coupling ?

Hi @all,

is it true, that the CCKW Fuel tanker (750 US gal) had no trailer coupling in WW2 ?
All pictures I have found of Fuel Tankers with trailer coupling were from restored vehicles. In fact I have even found pictures of restored Fuel Tankers withou the coupling.
A friends of mine claims to have seen a picture of a vehicle during the Korea War with a trailer coupling.

Do you have any closer information about this issue ?

Thank you very much in advance !

Bye, Dirk

I have seen pictures of tankers on Saipan towing a converter dolly with a tractor-trailer type tanker.

I will check my tanker the next time I go over to my other barn (23 miles away).

Hello.
This is normal, not a trailer coupling for the CCKW Fuel Tanker (750 US gallons)
