One time forum member Joel Gopan claimed to have a set of Hipkins but I'm not to sure if he wanted to sell.
The man to ask is Joop Staman : http://www.jeeparts.nl/ or

............. if they dont know...give up.

GMC Tracks
Steve,
I've been mucking about in this GMC CCKW collector business since the late 1970's. Have looked at trucks on 4 continents, in a "jillian" museums, a "bazillian" swap meets and more farm and junk yard auctions than I can count. Not to mention reading US and Foreign classified ads every month.
I have only ever seen one set of the CCKW tracks sold. I was too young and dumb to bid on them and only realized what they were after the auctioner yelled "sold". They were a complete set in good usable condition.
I remember asking my buddy who was with me, to please kick me in the butt for good measure. I think the purchase price was about $250 for the four piece set. That was at a local farm estate sale here in the Midwest about 1983.
I think a set sold at an auction in France last winter but they were so badly rusted that they were almost unrecognizable.
The set I missed here were coiled up on the ground in 4 round groups like Caterpillar tracks for bull dozers and it was a BIG load of iron. More than you could haul on a pick up truck. I remember watching them load them on a trailer with a good size front end loader. Never found out who the buyer was or where the tracks went.
When I see an auction ad that lists "steel tracks for a farm tractor" I always go and look as that was how these were listed. But they were definatly for the CCKW!
I hope you find some because they are VERY RARE.
Oh well, live and learn.
