Shes a fine looking CCKW 352 , The dents in the cargo body are just signs of experiance and of use , no need to remove or try to correct , Its all part of it's particular history .
I too would like to have a heater but will get by with some extra layers , seems a shame that no ones started to make reproduction units perhaps with more and more Jimmies being returned to the road in the colder climates someone will "Think" about it![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/icon_idea.gif)

So
The Silicone sticker is necessary, but doesn't match the truck period ?
I don't know when Silicone fluid was developed, willing to be corrected on this as usual.
It's a VERY nice truck otherwise... 8~) hard cabs are just so much nicer than open ones in my opinion.

Wind shield vipers
Noticed the arrangement for the wind shield vipers.
First time I have seen it like that.
Did check out some of my photos, and I only found that arrangement on wartime pictures.
Nice, and it make sence when you se them having the window opened...

Re: So
Hello Gordon,
It's a VERY nice truck otherwise... 8~) hard cabs are just so much nicer than open ones in my opinion.[/quote]
How funny
I would of bet 100 to 1 that you would of had it the other way around. I've got an open cab M-2-4. I really like the look of a wc4 over that of a wc9 (?). The best of all must be the open cab Diamond T 986 Wrecker over the closed cab. I feel the same about GMC trucks (sorry Ranger). Of course, I understand that some people have weather considerations. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
