Where did my truck serve during WW2?

Post by KimHansen »

Hi everyone - looking for some historic expertise.
My GMC is the CCKW 353 cargo, open cab, no winch, split, manufactured in 43 with the serial no. 160671. It was reconditioned in US by ACF-BRILL Motors Comp. in Philadelphia back in 52 and shipped to Norway after that. Well, I know this is Mission Impossible, but could anyone based on these information’s give me any hint in direction of my trucks WW2 history. Lots of pictures on www.all-automatic.dk/gmc but only Danish language- sorry. Please don’t hesitate contacting me if further information’s required for the investigation. Any help or comment will be much appreciated. Thanks

Best regards
Kim
