Hi guys

Found this CCKW, is comes from Belgium not so far from here. It was used since end 60ies as a wrecker upto late 70ies. End stood still
since that time and was sold to someone in the Netherlands 2years ao who already started to restore, but didnt had time to finish.
Iam not sure to further restore. I guess dataplate is original it says dod of 5-1945 (may 1945) and chassisnr is correct.
It still has it licenseplate and paper. It does even have a pricelist from the wreckingcompagny dated from march 1, 1969.

Here loading the M35a2 (1st gulf vet btw)

Bravo Corne! Save another one!
By the way, my CCKW was brought back to the US in 2003 after a long post-war career in the Army of the Netherlands!
