Folks - why did the USA ship CCKW back State side from 1945 onwards (1970's?) to refit to then send back to Europe??
Cheers
Jack.

Well I know my CCKW stayed on the other side of the pond after the war. And was rebuilt Roots of London LTD. in April of 1955 before being released by the U.S. Army to Norway under the Mutual Defence Assistance program....
But the CCKW's that were rebuilt in the U.S. were more than likely trucks that were used Stateside during the war or were trucks completed after the war was over. All were used by stateside Army units till being replaced by the newer REO then rebuilt for sale to Nato forces.
