Early WWII Issue CCKW trucks were equipped with two different Diecast Zenith Carburetors, the Zenith 9472, GM-2103965 could be found on the CCKWX Series. The CCKW Zenith 9778, GM-2135998 Die Cast Carburetor used on subsequent CCKWs, were supplied both with and without the Sight Level Plug GM-2196082.

Many of the CCKWs, no matter when delivered were found with Die Cast Carburetors installed as their years in the Army rolled by. All that is necessary for switching carburetor styles is to use a matching air cleaner for the type.
During the 60s Zenith manufactured a Die Cast Adaptor with square flange that clamps to the CCKW Die Cast Carburetor and allowed use of the late style air cleaner associated with the Cast Iron Carburetor. Many of the European returns are thus set up.
The Die Cast Carburetor is the way to go and NOS are available in limited quantities.

The "name that carburetor" rant goes on. Kinda sad, but it sure beats getting ones' hands dirty on a restoration that ain't going to ever happen.
The roar of the constipated ape gets to be old stuff too.
On the bright side, it is nice to see that ''OL RANGERS' posts are still drawing interest.
