Hello from Connecticut, USA

Greetings everyone!
About a month ago I had the opportunity to meet Robert Barber and Stephen Keith and they recommended
I join the website. We met at a small airshow Bob Collings of the Collings Foundation puts on his private airfield in Stowe, MA. I informed them both I had recently purchased a deuce and a half and they were very willing to answer any questions I brought up.
I have waited to formally introduce myself to the forum until I had my CCKW delivered. I was having a hard time locating adequate storage in my area until I spoke to my neighbor who was willing to rent me some space in her oversized garage. This deuce has been sitting out in the weather since winter broke last spring and I got her in doors just in time as the remnants of Hurricane Ida are pelting the Connecticut coastline even as I write this introduction.
She is a 1941 GMC CCKW 353 hard top with serial number 1903135 F1. The van body is long gone. Replaced at some point with a M211 metal bed. She has had a hard life fighting floods and the New England winters. She even did a stint as a snow plow with a V plow welded under her chasis. Hopefully, I will be able to bring her back to her former glory.
