The GMC CCKW

I took this photo last year at Beltring. I didn't get to talk to the owner and get any interior photos but I talked to his neighbour. He said this unit will also fit in the back of a truck when the trailer is removed. It is covered with fiberglass matting so it is completely weatherproof. A lot of thought went in to this.

Home from Home, and very comfortable no doubt. Hardly living history though. Is that a 502 PIR set up?

I looked at doing the same with an M14 Directors Trailer but the deal fell thro.

So then I had the brilliant idea to copy the Rolling Command Post idea mounted on a Ben Hur, but decided I was too old to fit into a shoe box, even if it did have a veranda.

So I still shack in the back of the jimmy. Old style.

must be light as you would need some form of removing and setting up in the back of a cckw not a one man effort i'm sure but hey atleast its still od

So Kevin how are you going to rough it on the Red Ball run ?

well i must say i have all the mod cons in my ben hur complete with soft bed etc

Great way to have onsite modern sleeping arrangements while looking military! that an interesting conversion on the Ben Hur , the guy must be very snug in there if hes close to 6' or sleep diaginally

We coverted the back of our 353 to accommodate a double bed running side to side. The bed sits on a platform so as to have storage under the bed. Our floor is covered with indoor/outdoor carpeting (od in color). We use army blankets and try to keep it some what military in appearance.

All the camping stuff can easily be removed in less than a hour. The exterior of the truck remains unchanged. We have had it as a camped for 9 years.
