Bubba's stone picker

Came across this CCKWX in a private collection of agricultural machinery. A very early truck converted to raise large field stones. Chassis # 11xxx, all data plates there and even shipping data on the sole remaining door.

WOW! There are still some of those early trucks out there. I had one sn 76xx years ago. It had been used as a well pounder truck (not drill). The chassis was beat from the pounding. I had no alternative but to cut it up for parts.

I know the location of one s/n 5xxx CCKW 353 here in Germany. A former Norwegian Army veteran. The truck is rusting away outside and has not been moved for at least ten years. The owner does not sell her because he knows it's an early vehicle. It's a shame. :(

Would like to get in touch with him - probably money rules?
