The GMC CCKW

Pictures from a poster of some vehicles at Jack Tomlin's place in Utah.

Some decent looking rigs....I have seen his prices in Military Vehicles magazine....They are not cheap.

Looks familiar, but do not let the shabby looks discourage you, as nderneath all the oxidized and faded paint of those ugly ducklings can be found a jewel of a truck. Mine started that way, and a lot of elbow grease and a few bucks later made it a proud machine. Sort of reminds me of my transformation from Army recruit to "lean mean fighting machine". Forty five years later, I may not be as lean, but I am just as mean.

I didn't think his prices were too bad,considering what some of these European returns are going for,those in the pictures appear to be in good condition,he's in high desert climate and stuff will be mostly rust free,he's only 4 hours north of me,someday I hope to stop in.

How do you get ahold of him? I would like to get ahold of that early 352 in the pictures.

www.jtomlin.com or (435)-830-8160 or (435)-882-0420,he always has an ad in Military Vehicles Magazine.

His trucks are from Europe. judging by the style of tyres, some are from Norway.
Joel

I did not see the truck on his web site, but just sent an email regarding the item. Thanks for the info Bill

Bob,

Now that I think about it you are right.

I will tell you that the pictures taken by this individual on the Dodge list are much more flattering than the pictures in MV Magazine.

He must have alot of other good WW2 mechanical stuff in that yard. Someone get up there and check it out.

Jack has traveled the world many times, even took his DUKW back to France a few years back for a D-Day Anniversary. He is also one of the Senior Members of the MVPA, likes to raise Hell, and is one common sense guy.

He wants 8500.00 for the 352 in the picture. It is probably worth that. Just too rich for my bloiod with transportation also.

Aw,come on army driver,that would only be a 5 day drive,you could spend one night at my place. Some day I hope to do some touring in a vintage truck,don't know if I'd want to do that drive though. Hopefully this summer a friend and I hope to get up there for some serious picture taking,if it happens I'll be sure to let you all know how it went.

Thanks for the offer on the night. I will have to pass, but she is a good looking truck, or at least where I am coming from, as I seem to have to rebuild junk to get what I want.
