AD,

It is my pleasure to highlight these superb trucks. All pictures are provided by their owners so it is they that must be thanked.

Keep those great pictures coming!

Note the US GI Issue doors, the attention to detail, and the beautiful SG OD paint job.
A good clean CCKW requires no makeup.

Curious as to what shade of OD Paint was used. It is beautiful!

These trucks did not get that way by themselves, there is a lot of work involved in order to get to that condition. There will probably be few mud puddles in the future of this truck.
