Nice pictures Bill
I have been to manny's and have seen this truck. I did know what he was asking for the truck then, but that was several years ago so I won't say because I don't know what he is asking for it now. Anyway whatever it is it will be worth it I looked the truck all over and can tell people it is in very good condition and a rare early truck and worth whatever he is asking for it.To anyone thinking about buying this truck I can tell you in Aprill 2002 I bought my truck from Manny and am very pleased you need not worry he is a very nice and honest man, so dig into that there wallet and give this rare piece of American history a good home after all it's only money

Great photos Bill That is a beautiful truck.

I guess it can be an ex "norwegian " truck.
But would love to se the delivery date a little better on that data plate!!
It is delivered nov. or des. 1940 but would also like to know the date.
And it is not supposed to have the B1 prefix I think....
And didn't all CCKWX's come with Timken split axels? Then it would be A1 if it is supposed to be there.

BTW: This is one of the oldes trucks in my list. I have serial# 1319 which is also ex norwegian, but now in Denmark.
And we have roumors abouth serial # 90 !! somewhere in Norway. It is supposed to be rebuilt with an open cab and late body, but the frame is very interesting!

>And didn't all CCKWX's come with Timken split axels?

Yes they did.

It's a good thing we didn't fight the war with all cckwx's , we would have lost , right DOC

Dr.Duce this one is for you, My 40 cckwx, seems to have a bit bigger numbers stamped in the frame where there supposed to be, they come right up to the shock, not enough room for the A-1 or any number to be stamped, But on the other side of the shock is the numnbers 2453, stamped in the frame. have you any idea what these numbers mean??

That might be the frame rail part number.

On Weasel's 352, I had a hard time finding the sn. It was almost part way around the bottom corner of the frame rail.

Check the whole area where the sn should be from top to bottom.

RE: splits; Let me hole I have better results with the Kompressor (splits) than with Annie the crane or the other split CCKW parts truck I have (had same failure as Annie on the same rear end)

OK Doc. I'll check even better but. if the numbers I refered to are the frame numbers, would the other side of the frame have them as well. I mean if there on the right side (passenger side) would they be on the drivers side too???? I'll just go ahead and check that too.

It would be on the other side too, but a different number

Answers to a few questions that have come up about Pre-WWII CCKWX s/n 353-5141:
It is among the earliest CCKWs to be found, delivered, 12/17/1940 (almost a year before Pearl Harbor). It is restored, rust free, complete and runs great. The frame and data plate show CCKWX s/n 353-1541with no suffix,as was typical for CCKWX models. The Norwegian paperwork with the truck shows the suffix B1 which indicates a cargo model with winch and split axles which is what this truck is. The price is $18,800. FOB Billerica,MA Call Manny Rogers at 617-661-5654 for more info.

JOEL is back!

One of the reasons that the banjo was developed was that Timken could not make enough pf the parts especially the axle shafts with the CV joints. Remember that they were also making them for other bigger trucls and armor

I know this truck A friend of mine sold it in the late 90`s
Was bought at Kongsgårdsmoen (Army auction) Only minor welding an paint was done to make it "perfect"

It was sold toghter with another early closed cab

Joel is back Don't know what thats all about , it was just me with a gentle little Jib about your love for split axles THATS ALL

I checked with the prev. owner and he had more info on this truck.

He belived the cargo bed was changed during service and he found that the Army had repaired the lower section of the doors. The door job was done nicely, but you could tell that there had been some work done.

He welded/repaired the small sections where the fenders goes togheter with the cab.

Paint job was done in a professional paint shop.

He told me he was missing his trucks and wished he still had them

Cheers,
Frank..

If I understand this correctly, Manny Rogers said he found the "B-1" on some paper work, so does that mean the B-1 won't be found on the frame? I have looked all over mine, and can't find it..mine is also an early model cckwx 353 No.7189

As far as I know the CCKWX did not use the A1,B2 etc prefixes,so no it would not appear on the chassis or dataplate.
