Hello,
Do you have the serial number and date of delivery? Looks like a very nice DUKW to restore!
Thanks,
Steve

We have talked about this DUKW in early July.
This was the DUKW Erik Conroy that was owned by Erik Conroy of Connecticut. 353-21976.
My plans are to restore this to being a floater (which is not).

Re: This one followed me home!
Awesome!
DUKWs are such cool vehicles. I have liked them since I was a kid. My Dad used to take me to a surplus store in Detroit that had a DUKW parked out front. I was all over that thing every time we went there.
Good luck with your project. Please post pics when possible. Would love to watch it progress.
Best Regards.....
