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

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.
