The GMC CCKW

Hi all

Just got my hands on a CCKW 353 after months of trying, Found it in a field at the local clay pigeon club "Double the fun", My name is Mark and have been a member of Invicta military preservation society for a while and a member of local Canterbury group 'Milikent', Much beer drinking and some renovation work in between, Currently based near Northampton ive just housed the lucky lady in a local aerodrome hanger ready for stripping, Gulp, never done one of these before! I rather fancy the requests for help advise and vallium will be regularly posted on this site. I may even work out how to post photos.............Maybey?, my son is 16 he will know!

Speak to you soon

Mark

Hi Guys, here is a photo of the truck.

Hi Mark
Thanks for the photo. Us old guys need photos so we don't have to tax ourselves reading. You have a real nice project to start, with the winch and the gun mount.
Cheers,
Barry

...........Nice looking truck Mate ...

Welcome aboard. You got yourself a real prize winner.

You should see some of the clapped out wrecks we have dragged home over here!

We always enjoy our visits with MV friends when we travel to the UK. You lads do a great job sharing your beer and military vehicles. We love it.

Cheers

Hey Mark

I'm new to this forum myself, and also to owning a MV as well. I live not far away from you just the other side of Northampton.

Best of luck with the renovation.

Kind regards

I am partial to CCKWs with M32's...
