That truck looks good as is!! What is it's story?? It looks like it wasn't worked too hard the last 65 years....
Was the dash replaced, or was it some rarity?
Keep the pix coming!

Excuse my ignorance, are you making it red and yellow, or is that some funky primer?
Are there many like it in Belgium? Any idea what the whole story is, cause I am sure it would be a great one.
Best of luck and like the others have said, keep the pictures coming!

Great looking job so far! Keep up the good work, and post more pics!
Oh, no, that's the custom Ronald McDonald camo paint job, so it blends in when it's parked around a bunch of clowns!Melvinitis said:

Re: RE: CCKW 352 restoration
That dash dates the truck (or at least the cab) as an early war (1941 or early 1942) closed cab. The very first production run had many features "borrowed" from the civilian cab of the day. Mid '42, the civilan gauge cluster was changeds to the military one, and the windshield lost the crank out mechanism, and instead had a simple latch, with thumbscrews at the windshield posts.nkawtg said:

Do you happen to have the spare tire locks that secured the two spare tier racks?? They should be a keyed lock, very similar to the jeep spare tire lock. If you have the locks, I would love to see a close-up photo!![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")
