Well first let me say I'm not new to this site as I've been enjoying it for quite some time.
But as I have recently picked up a 1945 open cab LWB CCKW with composite body, W/W I might as well introduce myself, as I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions as soon as my CCKW gets trucked down from PA.
I am an active duty paratrooper, combat medic and prior service combat engineer in the 82nd Abn Div. here at Ft Bragg.
I do living history with the 82nd War Memorial Museum here on Ft Bragg with our LHD (living history detachment).
And this is my second project MV my first is a 44MB that is currently torn down to a rolling chassis, but with the OP tempo since 911 and deployments to very arid sandy parts of the globe. I havent had the time to complete this major restoration. But the Jimmy runs, drives and stops and is very mechanically sound so I hope to have this cleaned up and at least painted the right color OD and not the CARC green that it came from Europe in before All American Week in May here at Bragg.
Thanks for all advice and answers to my impending questions in advance.
